Tracy Wolfson’s Post Game Interviews

One of the fun parts of watching college football for a guy my age is getting to see Tracy Wolfson interview the coaches before, during, and after the game. She’s great at this job too, because she never seems like she’s rooting for anyone, and she often has to reach way up with her microphone to reach them at the end of games, while what looks like a moving forest of enormous football players runs past the shot. But I’ve always wondered what would happen if she was rooting for one of the teams, and they lost. She went to the University of Michigan, so let’s say they were in the BCS Championship Game, or else that they were ranked #1 and undefeated, but lost to some team near the end of the season to ruin their perfect record and their chance at the championship (like what happened to Alabama today). I would love to see her post game interview with the winning coach who beat Michigan, and have her say: “You beat my team you son of a bitch!” And then she could slap his face, bonk his head with her microphone, throw Diet Coke on him (or whatever she drinks), and walk away. (It would be great to see the look on his face!) Because it’s hard for anyone to stay neutral in college football, and she always manages to do it, so it would be extra funny to see her lose it and get mad at the outcome of a game and take it out on the winning coach. (She has the access if she ever wants to. Oh well, maybe on Saturday Night Live someday…)
