In The Locker Room with Anna McGlynn
 

Anna McGlynn is a 5’10,’’ 100 pound intramural All-American. Her deft shooting touch and remarkable enthusiasm garnered her a spot on the illustrious WOBC Intramural Hoop Squad. McGlynn has made quite a name for herself in the fall intramural league. A few dimes, a few dunks and a few behind-the-back passes and now Coach Happy Dobbs and the Yeomen men’s team want her to suit up.

MK: Anna, you don’t have a show on WOBC, yet you are on the team with WOBC hotshots like Oliver Steele and Phil Logan. So honestly, how did you get on this team?
AM: Well...Captain Thad Davis saw my infallible hook shot over 6’8’’ and 245-pound Review Sports Editor Sam Vanderpol. At that point they were at my mercy.

MK: Listen Anna, I am no cub reporter. This is a big-time paper...this isn’t the The Grape. I recognize the spin. The truth is that you got on this team because your boyfriend, the honorable Ravi Jackson, has been rumored to have obscure ties to Angad Singh’s early morning show on WOBC.
AM: What?

MK: So I understand you were at one point a highly-touted and recruited basketball player coming out of William Penn Charter School in Philly?
AM: My high school squad consisted of several big-time division one ballers with sick game.

MK: Who wins...the intramural team with football players or the William Penn Charter Girl’s team with D-I ballers?
AM: Girls utilize their viciousness in order to compensate for their lack of size and strength.

MK: How can you believe in this socially-constructed ideology that women are physically weaker and smaller compared to their male counterparts?
AM: Oh please.

MK: What type of music do you listen to during warm-ups to get pumped up for the games? The WOBC team no doubt has to listen to some fly jams.
AM: Mostly, the Space Jam soundtrack or $hopping $pree!

MK: I look forward to seeing you between the lines during intramural season.
AM: Bring it! You are over-rated anyway. Your game is strictly three-pointers.
