I have a tendency to drink a lot at sporting events. By the end of the game I'm in a delerious state.
| The first-year from nearby Akron averages 14.7 points and 8.5 rebounds a game. Against Wilberforce Johnson scored 36 points and grabbed 16 boards to keep Oberlin in third place. During Wednesday's disappointing 55-50 loss to Allegheny, she continued to impress by scoring 10 points, grabbing six rebounds and one steal. She has been invaluable to her fellow Yeowomen during their spectacular regular season. |

This week, the Review went in the lockerroom with their own sports editors. What are they thinking about?
So, as sports dorks, what is the earliest game from which you can recall vivid details?
When you watch sports, either live or on TV, do you concentrate?
Do you like listening to sports on the radio?
What is your favorite sports magazine or newspaper and why?
Do you like Chris Berman?
Do you like John Madden?
What's the deal with sports anyway?
Are sentimental accounts of 19th century baseball a la George Will and Ken Burns really as important as PBS makes them out to be?
Care to tell me how many hours per week you spend following and thinking about sports?
Do Oberlin sports interest you? Why not, Ross?

IN THE LOCKERROOM WITH...the Review's Sports Editors
Glenn: T-Ball. I remember playing T-ball. You couldn't hit pop-ups, but I used to beat the shit out of the ball. I was on the Pizza Machine Team. And five years old at the time.
Ross: Sometime in July 1987, Fenway Park. Red Sox versus Texas Rangers. Dwight Evans hit a grand slam home run in the ninth to win the game. Bruce Hurst was pitching.
Glenn: Brilliant.
Jacob: Summer of 1986, the bleachers of Memorial Stadium. I watched Storm Davis pitch a game for the O's. I can't remember who they were playing. I remember a lot of drunken fans, though.
Glenn: Yeah. Of course. Football especially.
Ross: Live football is tough to follow. Otherwise, I concentrate quite a bit, but I have a tendency to drink a lot at sporting events. By the end of the game I'm in a delirious state.
Jacob: Oh, definitely. Especially with football. Mute the TV and turn on the radio for RedSkins play by plays.
Glenn: If I have to. I mean ... in the car.
Ross: I enjoy listening to hockey on the radio and I also listen to sports commentary on WFAN.
Jacob: Depends on who the commentators are. I was heartbroken when Peter Angelos forced out Jon Miller from Orioles home radio.
Glenn: Ross is so witty. Every answer I give is just lame. But I am fond of the columnists for the San Franisco Chronicle.
Ross: Boston Globe and Hustler. Both have excellent columnists.
Jacob: Definitely the Washington Post sports section. Unparalleled.
Glenn: No, but I hope Bill Walton contracts cancer.
Ross: No, but I hope Bob Barker contracts cancer.
Jacob: No. But I do hope Tim McCarver contracts cancer. He ruined the '91 World Series for me.
Glenn: Ask Ross first.
Ross: I appreciate anyone who sits up in a booth and gets drunk watching football games.
Glenn: Ask Jake. I gotta think of something good.
Jacob: No. Especially because he's keeping Pat Summerall in the booth and you can tell every minute that he's in pain that he's not covering golf for CBS.
Glenn: I like it when he uses the coach's clicker.
Glenn: Jake?
Ross: It helps me pass the time between episodes of Teletubbies.
Glenn: I like sports because they are really fun.
Jake: I just like sports.
Glenn: Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant. My friends and I rented all the tapes and watched them over the summer.
Ross: I'm not familiar with the works of George Will, but I really liked Good Will Hunting.
Jacob: No. But I love the Civil War.
Glenn: All these questions are making us look bad.
Ross: They're making me look good. Besides the one hour I spend thinking about sports for the Review, I probably take in 64 hours per week.
Glenn: How many hours are there in a week?
Jacob: Probably too many.
Ross: I didn't say that. I am distressed with the state of Oberlin sports. I blame not the players, but the administration. I take as my cause the Oberlin College football team which has been consistently mishandled by the powers that be.
Jacob: Most certainly.
