By Harold Rivera / Log Staff Writer Longtime sportscaster Bob Lobel has been hired as “Sports Journalist in Residence” here at Salem State University. Lobel, who began his role this semester, brings with him more than 30 years of experience in sports media. The former host of Patriots 5th Quarter on WBZ-TV, Lobel has covered a broad range of sports events on both the local and national scale. Most recently he’s started his own sports blog and was also one of three Public Address Announcers at Fenway Park for the Red Sox during the 2013 season, in which they won the World Series. He sat down to answer a few questions about his new job at Salem State, his career in sports media, and his take on the Patriots this season. (This interview has been somewhat condensed.) 1. You were brought in as a “Sports Journalist in Residence” at Salem State University. What are some of the responsibilities that come with that role? “It’s a work in progress. So far I’ve been sitting in on classes, getting up to speed on things that classes dwell on. Professor (Carrie) Berger (Sports and Movement Science) and I will teach a few classes together. I have to use other professors to find out what I don’t know. Coming up with lesson plans and things like that –It’s a bit over my head. I have to know what I don’t know.” 2. What do you hope to bring to Salem State University? “I’m not sure what Salem State wants. They know my wealth of experience in Sports Broadcasting. I have experience, unique knowledge…. You’ll have to ask other faculty members. Right now I’m just bringing myself and letting things develop.” 3. How did you end up here at Salem State University? “I was at a fundraising event for a place called ‘Bridgewell’ in Lynn and I was the emcee at the event. They were honoring (Salem State President) Pat Meservey at the event. We got to talking about education and I mentioned my master’s [degree] in education, and that’s kind of how I got started. A chance meeting between me and Pat Meservey.”
