Show /port/ MONDAY* OCTOBER 17-2005 All Just Chatt'n with fllorgcin Ycince This week I was joined by UVSC goalkeeper Tasha Bell on the third row of the bleachers overlooking the soccer field Wolverine Wisdom MV: So, what's it like playing futbol with your hands? MV: Why? TB: I have the best job cause I get to use my hands. Yeah...but it's pretty intense playing back there. TB: Everybody's gonna read this and find out my secret, but right is my stronger side. When I dive to my right I get further than I do going left. MV: What's next, playing basketball with your feet? Really...you don't have to answer that. MV: You were born in 1985... TB: I actually think that would be really good for some soccer players to start doing that. MV: You know who else was born in 85, don't ya? MV: You're in your second year with the soccer team MV: Interesting. But I was actually gonna say Kierra Knightly. TB:Who? have already played under two different coaches. What kind of future do you see for the program? TB: A good one. Even as far as players go from last year to this year, our team has exponentially grown in talent. It's just a matter of who the coach is coming in and putting it all together for us. But also I do think there's a lot of room for us to grow as a power in the state of Utah. Any insight into the new members of the men's basketball team? —Tommy, Spanish Fork MV: Never mind, but the uni-bomber, that's scary. MV: If UVSC didn't have a women's soccer program, where do you think you'd be right now? TB: Probably BYU. MV: Were they looking at you too? TB: No, I kinda didn't want to play soccer. I had an injury and had to go in for surgery, so I was kinda thinking I'd be done and just sent them my academic stuff. But later I had a change of plans. MV: Tell me about your wildest date? TB: I don't know. Dates don't get very wild these days. It's basically dinner and miniature golf. MV: Well, I guess you could fight with the clubs or something. TB: True. I did go rock climbing once. Heath Banbury/ UVSC Athletics MV: Raised in Farmington, do you have any cherished Lagoon memories you're dying to tell me about? TB: Actually, I never put Lagoon and Farmington together. When I came to school, I'd be like "I'm from Farmington, it's between Bountiful and Layton." They're both pretty big cities and I figured that's how people would recognize it. But then they would be like "Oh, Lagoon, right?" "Yeah, Lagoon." You kinda' get sick of that place though pretty fast. It's not like Disneyland. MV: Last year, you recorded eight saves in an OT win versus UTEP (a career high I believe). This year, the Miners got the best of you guys winning 5-0. What was the difference between those two games? TB: This year we've really struggled to play 90 minutes. In the UTEP game, we struggled in transition as well. MV: Have you ever had a collision with somebody charging the goal? MV: You're telling me that Pioneer Village isn't rockin'? TB: They have some little plays they put on that are pretty cool; but besides that, What am I, Anne Landers? I've got no time for this; but yeah, you can't go down like that, Libby! MV: Who, Ted Kaczynski? TB: No, the Utah Unabomber. He blew up one of his bombs in the hospital where I was born, while I was being born. You may find it odd Carter, but the truth is it's not in my job description. That's certainly not to discredit any of the success you've rightfully pointed out, but NCAA sanctioned sports are my forte. On that note, I don't know, maybe you will see me at one some day. But then again, I guess it's also possible wolverines develop wings and start flying. I just broke up with my boyfriend. Are you a proponent of fighting to save a relationship? —Libby, Salt Lake TB: 1 know, that Unabomber... and So Willy, I've noticed that you 've never bothered to show up for an extramural sporting event on-campus. I find that odd since some of those teams have been so successful. —Carter, Orem Well, there are five new additions this year, and every single one of them is a JC transfer. Rarely will you see a team without a single freshman on its roster, but it looks like you will here. That bodes well in terms of experience and bringing in guys that should be able to step in right away. And boy will they need them to after losing the 3rd leading scorer in the entire nation. Over 24 points a game is a whole lot of offense to fill. TB: Man, you know more information about me than I do. TB: I've had a few, but referees do well at protecting keepers. You kind of learn the tricks of the trade, and so you learn how to make it hurt more for them than for you. MV: So, the games tied and the other team has a penalty kick inside MV: It's a Sunday night and you're watching TV- what's on? Sunday the box in overtime. It's just you against their best forward. You Night Football or Extreme Makeover: Home Edition? obviously have to anticipate and make a move. Which way do you go, TB: I have to admit, last Sunday I watched Home Makeover. left or right? TB: If I had to anticipate...I'd go right. MV: So did every other citizen in the state of Utah. Rants Continued From RANTS-A10 ily is still trying tofigureout whether he ever managed to throw three TD's in a game. Girls playing football will always be an issue.
