Big Country Makes Big Decision

Reading, MA - After more than 2 years roaming the middle for Origins Unknown, Chris "Big Country" Johnson is hanging up the sneakers (at least for now). Johnson, a two time Origins Unknown Session MVP, made the announcement at a small press conference last week held in the front seat of his Honda Accord.

"I really enjoyed playing with everyone and wish you guys the best of luck in the future," said Johnson - who will focus more of his time on work and volleyball.

When reached by phone for comment, OU original James "Stretch" Hogan IV was obviously upset. "He was a great teammate, a great player, and a great guy," said Hogan between sobs of "whhhhhyyyy?".

According to the award-winning Bloggin' and Ballin' blog, Johnson's OU career started in September of 2006 after a stint with Nice Left, and included multiple finals appearances, numerous double-doubles, one missed dunk, 126 "bucket and the foul" plays, 244 blocked shots, and 48 bowls of chips and salsa from Chilis.

The OU crew wished Chris the best of luck in the future, and hopes to see him back in blue someday soon (we'll un-retire your number).
