There is nothing worse than waking up at 7 a.m. by accident. However, there are few things better than waking up at 7 a.m., turning on the television and watching a rerun of "Saved by the Bell." This week's installment of 7 Questions is very similar to that scenario.

Usually 7 Questions is a one-time hit -- you get one chance. However, I had to make a special exception for senior tennis player and DTD brother, Jon Bram. In much the same way as "Saved by the Bell," Bram is a classic. His answering style of throwing the question right back in your face is timeless and can never grow old. Like Johnny Rogers, Bram is already a legend at Tufts University. And if 7 Questions can help one more female realize this, than my job is done.

I caught up with Bram working on his tennis stroke while in golf class. Since his balls weren't traveling too far, 7 Questions naturally followed.



1. What have you been doing to ensure a successful men's tennis season?



Practicing arguing line calls, going through the other teams' rosters to think of derisive nicknames for them, and watching the girl's team practice. Also I practice yelling at myself in the mirror.



2. This is at least your second set of 7 Questions, how has your life changed since the first set?



A better question is, how did my answers change The Tufts Daily?



3. What is the wildest story you have to tell now that DTD is back open?



Elliott, I walk softly and carry a big stick.



4. I think, between the two of us, we have the worst strokes in Bob Sheldon's golf class. However, you have taken the class before, so why has there been little to no improvement in your game?



Well, speak for yourself Elliott, but the number of swings on my club says I got more game than you do.



5. Being from Mass, I'm sure you are a big Red Sox fan, do you have anything to say about this A-Rod deal?



Pats won the Super Bowl. Again.



>6. With graduation looming in May, how do you want fellow students to remember you?



Most Tufts students have their own special memory of Jon Bram, and I won't try to change that. If they don't yet, I hope they just remember me as the enthusiastic, smiling, funny guy that I am.



7. If college was a tennis match what would the score be?

Game Bram: Jon Bram: 1 -- Tufts University: 0.
