In the Locker Room with. . .

You have read the “In the Locker Room” interviews all semester. Now get to know the creative mind that is behind each and every one. Be sure to take advantage of this rare glimpse into the genius that is a sports editor for the Review. I will be interviewed by co-editor Zachary “Pretz Diggity” Pretzer for this article.

So Ian, you’re quite the social butterfly, huh.

IH: You could say that I know a few people on this campus. I think people I am with get mad at me when I stop and talk to other people. Especially [sophomore] Chris Bamat when I stop on the way to dinner. He never seems to wait when we are walking over.

First of all, you mean people just get pissed off when you talk period, right? Secondly, who in the hell is Chris Bamat?

IH: Yeah, you could say I talk a lot. I don’t know if it’s too much, though. People haven’t told me that, but then again people are nice. Bamat, well Bamat thinks he’s a second basemen and a power hitter. I don’t know about the power hitter part.

That’s pretty fucked up, man. In that regard, what did you hit last year?

IH: I hit a little below the Mendoza line, but I was on base a lot.

I see, avoiding the percentages, huh?

IH: Yeah, I don’t like numbers. I am pretty bad with math. Professor Kasper will vouch for that one.

Yeah, I heard that you are pretty mathematically retarded.

IH: Yeah, I am. I couldn’t even answer simple math questions in my economics class last year. I had to go to tutoring with Kay Knight. She helped me though and I can do basic math now.

Ok, I can understand that. Kasper’s class pretty much kicked my ass. So anyway, how close are you and your twin sisters?

IH: How do you mean? People who know all of us say we all look alike.

Wow, sucks to be them.

IH: Is that a compliment on me being handsome or are you saying they are butt ass ugly? Because if it’s the first we have problems.

You are an idiot. So, moving on, how do you like doing “In the Locker Room” interviews?

IH: They haven’t been too bad except I always forget until Thursday afternoon that I have to do them. I’ll tell you though, every week I swear that this week’s the funniest ever.

Well, as long as you realize that they are nowhere near the level of last year’s “ the Locker Room” articles. They were the shiznit.

IH: Yeah, last year’s were good. Mine just suck. But you took all the good people to interview last year.

Yeah, except mine and Blake Rehberg’s interview — it completely sucked ass.

IH: Yeah, I read that. Maybe if Blake put as much effort into the interviews as he did the weed organization on campus they would have been funny. Just kidding Blake, I know the legalizing of weed is important to you.

Yeah Blake, weed love you. So, H to the Izzo?

IH: Dude, you’re white. Listen to AC/DC.

Are they the one’s who sang about big balls?

IH: You know this. You know what AC/DC can also stand for right?

Cornholio?

IH: Well, kind of, its more like the door swinging both ways.

So, being the social butterfly that you are, you probably get a lot of women, eh?

IH: Well, not really, it’s hard to find a woman here that wants to be wined and dined and treated like a princess.

Are you sure you aren’t a little familiar with AC/DC’s name yourself?

IH: No, um, no I’m not.

So, Ian, I thought you were going to be a cowboy this year?

IH: Um, yeah well, I was afraid people would make fun of me more than they already do. I have the boots, the hat and the belt buckle at home, though.

So would you call yourself a true country hick?

IH: Well, I am from rural Ohio, and I do have an accent, so you could call me a hick but I ain’t no hillbilly. To be a hillbilly you gotta’ be from West Virginia.

Um, so wait. Your dad’s the mayor of your hometown and he manages a top-notch golf course, but you’re a hick? What the hizzy?

IH: Well, we’re sophisticated hicks.

All the power to you then. Dude, why did you steal an entire cake from Stevenson and put it in my room yesterday?

IH: Well, my partner in crime, [first-year] Ryan McGinnis and I decided we would up our level of theft from Stevenson last night. Our goal was to carry it through the dining hall, but it was too heavy. We totally got busted, I think, but we got away with it.

What the mutha’ are you talking about?

IH: Well the lady at the door told us to enjoy the beautiful weather but it was raining. I think that was her way to tell us to enjoy the cake.

Yes, you’re definitely busted now. So what are you going to steal next?

IH: Our ultimate goal is to steal the mineral and flavored water dispenser.

Um. Why?

IH: Well, I don’t really know why.

You probably tip cows too, huh.

IH: Let me tell you a secret. When you tip cows, they wake up and start kicking as they fall. You don’t want to get kicked by a cow.

Yeah, [cough...hick...cough...] I bet man.

IH: What, my uncle owns a farm.

So you working for the Review next semester?

IH: Ah, nah, hellllz no.

For sheezey my neezey. True dat’
