GH: What did you work on the hardest through the summer to get better in football?
TH: I worked on speed and strength so I could be the best I could be.
GH: What did you do to improve your strength and speed?
TH: I hired a personal trainer and he had me run in sand and things like that.
Teammates: You're kidding. You hired a personal trainer. We didn't know about that.
GH: What school do you want to beat most this year?
TH: Marist. They are ranked number #1.
GH: What is your pregame meal?
TH: SMURF's eat at Mihama's Teriaki Grill?
GH: Are SMURF's a cult thing?
TH: It's our receiving group.
GH: What do you listen to on your Ipod?
TH: Rock, Hip Hop, Blink-182
GH: No Rap?
TH: I lump Rap into Hip Hop?
GH: You know Rap isn't music?
TH makes a quizzical look.
GH: Who on the team impressed you most this year?
TH: Danial White, our quarterback. Didn't expect him to be where he is at this point. He's really confident and we can trust in him.

TH and all the players present laugh and say without hesitation: Coach Hall!
GH: Does coach Hall have to approve your dates?
TH: No. I am The Man.
GH: What do you consider a proper date?
TH: Dinner and a movie. The best dates are when we have a hot summer night. After a movie you can go to Emigrant Lake, have an iced tea, dangle your feet in the water while listening to a little classical music, and watch the sun set as the moon rises. It's very romantic.
GH: Where would you take a date for a casual dinner?
TH: Great American Pizza.
GH: What kind of pizza?
TH: Cheese:
GH: That's it? Just cheese? That's lame.
TH: Yup. that's it.
GH: Where would you take a date for a formal dinner?
TH (after hints by coach Soriano) : Jacksonville Inn. Thanks coach! That's awesome.
GH: Thanks for your time.
TH: Aren't you going to ask me who my favorite superhero is?
GH: Who is your favorite superhero?
TH: Batman.
GH: Why?
TH: He strikes fear into those who prey on the fearful. Do you want to know who the director is?
GH: Who?
TH: Christopher Nolan.
GH: I gotta go.
