What was going through your head when you walked into the endzone for the second time against WMU?
ReplyDeleteWhat kind of support do you receive as a student who plays for the program (academic or otherwise)?
ReplyDeleteWhat is the hardest thing about being a student athlete?
as a special teams specialist what do you think about offering a scholarship to a walk on?
ReplyDeleteYou seemed to stay around the same weight for most of your career. Were you trying to add weight, or did each of the coaching staffs want you around that size?
ReplyDeleteWhen/how did you get the injury that knocked you out for a while after the WMU game?
What was one of the funniest things that was said or done during a game that you remember?
Which teammate had the best sense of humor?
Magnus, I'd like these to be standard questions for all of the interviewees, and I'd be happy to explain the obvious...
ReplyDelete~ Did you read "Three and Out"? If not, why not?
~ What did you think of the book?
~ What did you think of Bacon's access to the program, and did you have any particular contact with him?
~ What did you think about the Free Press reporters' story that led to the NCAA investigation and subsequent sanctions?
~ What would you say about the different feelings toward Coach Rodriguez, on the part of you and your teammates, versus the past football letterwinners/alumni?
None of these five are loaded questions (what lawyers call leading questions). None of them suggest any particular answer. All of them invite the subject to just speak his mind. I think that all of them touch on things that people -- at least some people -- want to hear about. I am not suggesting that these are the only questions worth asking. They would not be the only questions that I'd like to ask, or that I'd like to get answers to. I see questions above, and questions from past interviews, that were all good questions. But you asked for suggestions, and these are mine; for all of the exit interviews.
Section 1
D'oh!
ReplyDeleteI should have addressed my post to TTB Andrew.
My bad; sorry.
Section 1
Ah, no problem. You can probably guess that your comment above wasn't visible when I wrote my comment below. I do think it's important to keep question open ended questions and ensure that they're not loaded, but I tend to address topics as the conversation naturally evolves rather than operating from a script. It helps with the natural flow of things. I like you're topics, though, and I'll address them when I speak with Zac Johnson, also. Thanks for the contributions.
DeleteWhoa - maybe I should proofread my comments.
DeleteI appreciate the questions, Section 1, and I'll ask them, but Magnus will not be the one doing the interview.
