The Oberlin Review’s Moose Terry returns for another installment of In the Locker Room. This week he sat down with senior Anthony “Tony” Miller, who plays offensive line for the Oberlin College football team. While watching Queen Latifah on Living Single, the two discussed football, volunteering and the benefits of having your mom do your laundry.
Moose Terry: Is it true that you are a native of Ohio and this area?
Tony Miller: Yeah. I’m from Lorain about 45 minutes away but I do not go back there that often. All my friends are at school and my mom works. She does come every Friday to pick up my laundry, and I never have to worry about it. My mom is great.
MT: How long have you played football?
TM: I started in high school.
MT: What is your favorite sport outside football?
TM: Hockey. I played that before I got into football. My favorite team right now is the Detroit Red Wings, but I really hope Cleveland gets a team at some point.
MT: What made you want to play at Oberlin?
TM: I knew I would get a quality education and would really grow here. I also did a lot of visits before I came, and I really liked the players and coaching staff.
MT: Do you have any interest in football after college?
TM: Not really, but I have thought about coaching maybe after grad school or something. Nothing too serious. No matter what, once you play football, it is always a part of your life.
MT: What is your best accomplishment off the field?
TM: I would have to say maintaining good grades and doing well in the classroom.
MT: What is your major?
TM: I am a biology major with a religion minor. I enjoy studying living organisms and I want to have a career in dentistry.
MT: Where is your favorite place to eat in Oberlin?
TM: Toôo Chinoise! That place just cannot be beat. Nothing in the world is better than the crispy beef.
MT: What is your favorite extracurricular activity outside football?
TM: I really enjoy doing Bonner Scholars. It’s a volunteer program where I go to Murray Ridge and help people with disabilities. We play games and do other activities that help to improve things like motor skill. It makes my day to help out, and I hope it makes their day also.
MT: All right, time for the Misslers-is-going-out-of-business-20-percent-off-everything-sale question of the week: Ketchup or mustard?
TM: Oh! That’s a tough one. I will say ketchup. Have you ever had ketchup mixed with mayonnaise? Man, it’s so delicious. You get this kind of creamy, sweet, tomato taste that is just yummy.
