Starkville | Tim Kurkjian on the Hall of Fame and ALS, plus Bob Ryan and Bill Chuck with trivia

It's a full house in Starkville this week. First, ESPN's Tim Kurkjian talks about being elected to the Hall of Fame. He learned he had been chosen one day before finding out his brother has ALS. He shares all of that emotion and then helps Jayson and Doug out in the Strange But True segment. Then, another hall of fame sportswriter, Bob Ryan joins the show with Bill Chuck to talk about their new book, 'In Scoring Position.' Bob and Bill also attempt to stump the hosts with this week's trivia question.
