Athlete Of the Week

Freshman Siv Tang is an unsung hero on the women’s field hockey team. However, with nine shutouts and over an 80% save percentage, she is definitely a player worth singing about.
Head coach Deb Ranieri said about Tang “She really understands how to use her stick and it just becomes natural for her.”
As a first-year starter, she has played over one thousand minutes in the goalie position, never missing a game or a minute of a game for that matter. Tang has led the field hockey team to three shutouts in the last four games with 134 saves in the regular season. With the help of Tang’s three shutouts, the women’s team is on a four game winning streak going into the NCAC tournament this saturday,
Tang and the rest of the team will be playing Wittenberg in their first game of the playoffs and pending a win, face off with either the College of Wooster or Denison University the following weekend.

The Oberlin College men’s soccer team will take on undefeated Wooster this Saturday. Wooster is currently ranked second in the nation and the team is looking for an upset.

In the Locker Room with. . .
For the return of In the Locker Room I decided to go to the Oberlin College football team’s offensive line. Fortunately, I was able to find three of the starters; Adam Miller, Kevin Wohl, and Drew Roebuck; chilling in Adam and Drew’s room. Unfortunately I entered in the midst of an intellectual conversation about the drilling for oil in Alaska.

KW: What have the animals ever done for me? I’d like to drill the wells myself!
(A few minutes later we got to relevant issues)

So how’s the season going so far?

AM: Well, 2-5 isn’t exactly a great season.
KW: PAT is more fun than Disneyland.
AM: I think that instead you should ask Drew what he thinks about minorities in football.
DR (writing paper in the other room): Adam if you say that again you will not exist.

Ok, back to the interview, what about the O-Line, you guys got some experience there. You think you’ll be able to pull off a few more W’s?
AM: I don’t feel like answering anymore questions, but Drew is fat. Add this in, ‘Drew nods and accepts his fate.’
DR: I didn’t nod.

What about being some of the bigger guys on campus? Do you ever feel any prejudice?

AM: Drew is still fat, I should be a reporter – quote me. Are we still friends Drew?
DR: I’m not talking to you Adam, let me finish my paper.
KW: I really don’t feel that that has been an issue really.
AM: Kevin, you really don’t feel like there’s been any prejudice?
KW: Not really, it hasn’t ever been an issue with me.
AM: Wasn’t it Joe [DeHont] who said ‘I never really get full, I just kinda get less hungry.’

I forgot to ask earlier, what positions do you all play?

AM: Drew is the weak guard, no wait, that makes me the weak tackle……
KW: Bunch of weak motherfuckers.
DR: I’m the quick guard…..
KW: I’d hate to see the slow guard.
(At this point the weak/quick guard threatens to kill Adam)

So Adam, how’s your fantasy football going?

AM: Man, I’m in last place. I am the unluckiest motherfucker that has ever lived.
KW: Sometimes I wonder if you even watch football. He once asked me how many men were allowed on the line of scrimmage.
AM: Dude, shut up, it was after two-a-days and I took too many hits in the head that day. How’s your paper going Drew?
(Drew flicks Adam off)

So tell me about being hit in the head.

AM: Ask Kevin if he’s ever played football without a helmet.
KW: I mean, I keep my chin strap real loose so my helmet comes off a lot.

What happens if you get hit in the head when it’s off?

KW: I’ll burn that bridge when I come to it.
AM: You know, we’re one of the smallest O-Lines in our conference.
KW: Oh stop trying to play it off like you’re skinny.
AM: I’m already slow and stupid – I don’t got much going for me…. Wait, maybe I shouldn’t have said that….don’t quote me on that.
All: Keep it.
AM: Drew’s fat, put that shit in there!
KW: Drew Roebuck may be #60 on the roster, but he’s still #1 in our hearts.

Any closing remarks?

AM: Everyone is thinking that I’m going to say that Drew is fat…but I’m not, I’m going to say that Drew is my twin brother… no, no… I’m skinny and beautiful.
KW: And delusional.
AM: I hate you all.
DR: Write down seven question marks.
AM: Can we revise that quote about me being slow and stupid? I’m not stupid. You can all go to hell.
KW: Don’t worry Adam, we’re all laughing with you.
