Maxx Wolfson Journalism Senior

Our friendly neighborhood sports guy speaks on life at the sports desk, grabbing butts and having a basketball head

WILDCAT: So Maxx, how do you feel about descending from on high back into the wonderful world of a measly reporter?

WOLFSON: It will be nice. Now I can actually write stories instead of just sitting at a desk.

WILDCAT: You're a sports guy. What is with male athletes grabbing each other's butts? Where did that all start?

WOLFSON: I don't know. I've never thought about it.

WILDCAT: It's something to ponder.

WOLFSON: I guess it started with coaches and just over the years it caught on.

WILDCAT: Do you partake in the grabbage of butts?

WOLFSON: It depends on if it is worthy of it.

WILDCAT: I see. Speaking of grabbing butts ... are you excited about school to start?

WOLFSON: I'm excited about basketball season. Going on roadtrips with the team.

WILDCAT: That's so fun. Do you feel so cool walking around with them?

WOLFSON: It's fun. I mean, big guys on campus you know.

WILDCAT: You know what I would do? I would totally be walking around like I was part of the team, signing autographs, you know.

WOLFSON: Yeah, well most people know who all the basketball players are.

WILDCAT: You could pretend. So, if your head had to be made out of any athletic ball, what would it be?

WOLFSON: Hmm ...

WILDCAT: I have a very large head, so it would have to be a basketball.

WOLFSON: Maybe a volleyball because it's soft.

WILDCAT: So it won't hurt if you hit your head?

WOLFSON: It won't hurt, you know, if someone hits me across the head, might absorb some of the pain.

WILDCAT: Absolutely. And you can get them in different colors, so you could be very stylish. It's like dying your hair. Lots of fun.
