Four more hours until I would have to lift my aching bones and pre- pare for my day. These are many stu- dents' favorite hours, the few moments to relax and be unconscious. Like most of the school's population, my days don't start before 9 a.m. So today I go back to sleep. But yester- day, I was up and at it at 5:45 a.m. For a day, I had crossed the line of nor- malcy, living the life of a collegiate wrestler. Just Showing Up The sun had not yet risen as I ner- vously approached the locked press entrance to Crisler. Slowly more and more figures emerged from the dark- ness, most wearing leather varsity jackets and sweatshirts. There is no need to dress pretty at this hour. I'd been waiting at the door to Crisler Arena for hardly a minute when the team's fearless leader, head coach Joe McFarland, energetically hopped out of his maroon Ford Explorer sipping a medium sized cup of coffee. "So we got a reporter wrestling with us today," McFarland yelled across the parking lot. Unlike his weary wrestlers, McFarland appeared largely unaffect- By Job Singer Daily Sports Writer Daily sports writer takes to the mat with ed by the early hour. An incredible work ethic is one of the traits that make him the right man for the job. Dale Bahr, a current assistant athletic director and a former Michigan coach, praised McFarland's dedication. "Joe is a 24-hour coach," Bahr said. Though I am still a little sleepy, McFarland's energy inspires me. This kind of a gung-ho attitude does not immediately spread to his tired ath- letes. We lackadaisically enter the arena and proceed to the locker rooms. After changing quickly, I am one of the first people to enter the practice room; McFarland is ready with more colorful remarks. "So who do you want to work with today, Jeb?" he asked. "Olson, Hrovat, who?" Otto Olson is the No. 2-ranked 174- pounder in the nation. Andy Hrovat is an All-American currently ranked eighth at 184 pounds. To which I reply, "Nah, give me Brink." That would be All-American heavyweight Matt Brink. "Oh you want Truck?" McFarland said, alluding to Brink's nickname. At this point, most of the 30 mem- bers of the wrestling team start to enter the room and our dialogue ceas- es.
