18 " You have to study the other team . It isn' t just a matter of getting into shape. A lot of the work is preparation, a lot of that is psychological. You study their films and you try to learn their team. You study your guy and you get to know the way he thinks. " That day you think about it a lot, but you try to relax. We play everything in the locker room from Lawrence Welk to the Rolling Stones. Then we go out there and try to win ." Tom Oberg is a senior majoring in PE and a member of the football team. "I 've done better in school since I started playing football, I guess that's funny . But even when I' m studying, I start thinking about football. " When you're playing, you're pretty much involved. You don ' t hear the peo– ple in the stands and you don ' t care about them . Sure you care a little, busi – nessmen give scholarships if you win . But you don 't play for them. You play for yourself. " Some guys'll play for the glory, they want people to know who they are. Other guys play becau se they want to hurt people. I play because I want to be a coach . I've never played on a team that had a winning season . " This was my last season and we should have made it. But we were beat out this year."
