Round 4
February 03 2008
Question from
Chris: Do some players become less "all
out" when they feel they have a legit shot at the
next level? I mean, a player in his last season
may not be as reckless as they were in their earlier
seasons. I know this was not the case with you.
You played your ass off every play. It
just seems some players have a more controlled game
than before. I am not just talking about ND
players. Does the thought of getting hurt
become a bigger issue when they could be looking at
getting to the next level? Does it affect their
game?
Trevor's Answer: I didn't look at it that way. I always thought that this was my last shot to prove to everyone out there that I was a baller, and could dominate on this level and the next. I think a lot of guys look at this way. Everyone? Not sure. Now when we're talking all star games or something, then yeah, the thought of staying healthy is definitely in your mind. You want to impress, but getting hurt then is the last thing you want to happen.
Question from Dan: What up GROND! My family truely enjoyed watching you give 200% every game. What is the first thing you are going to buy when you get PAID? Did you get an advance from your agent? If so, I may have to think about applying for a job in the NFL (maybe I can be a pooch punter).
Trevor's Answer: Hey man, appreciate it!! Wow...that's a tough question. The easy answer is a new ride, but I'm gonna drive my current car til it dies!! At least that's what I'm telling myself now. Might get a nice TV and some nice couches. A nice recliner so I can chill and watch some hi-def TV. Sounds pretty good to me. Maybe a big fish tank too where I can get some crazy fish in there.
Question from Scotty: So you say your good at halo huh? Well if you have online we should play, studv5 is mine. This is an official challenge.
Trevor's Answer: Haha wow....and official challenge huh? First off, I will dominate you. You will end up crying and I really don't like to do my fans like that!!! Only kidding...but not really. Unfortunately, I don't have a Xbox right now where I'm training, so I can't play. I would like to get one, but funds are tight right now. When I do hook one up...you'll be first on my list!!
Question from Rachael: Hey Trevor! Love that clip of Sammie the Salmon! You and Jeff both play the guitar right? Do you guys jam together? What kind of stuff do you play? Can't wait to watch you intimidate offenses on Sundays!
Trevor's Answer: Wow can't believe you said you loved that clip of me "singing". I'm still petitioning to get that taken off. Well, I would use the word "play" very careful here, cuz that's not what we exactly do. We try, and we can play some parts of songs here and there, but that's about it. We don't jam, probably cuz we couldn't. We do, however, dominate on guitar hero. We melt faces!
Question from Aaron: First, let me say thank you for all you did while at ND. You showed great perserverance and dedication despite the tough season last year. Those traits will serve you well at the next level. My question is what did you see of the younger guys last year that will allow them to rebound and bring ND back to it's rightful place atop the college football mountain?
Trevor's Answer: Thanks Aaron!! All of those young guys are hungry. I think that's one of the main things about the underclassmen this past year. None of them were scared or intimidated, and all felt they were ready to play. ND has a ton of young talent, and all of them are hungry and ready to ball. They will get back soon...guaranteed.
Question from Irisheyes: You should sell off some of your dreads!
Trevor's Answer: Haha now that's an interesting request!!! Definitely a first. If I do cut my hair, I'll definitely shoot you an email and let you know!!!
Question from Nick Ironside: Hey- Are you going to put up any Trevor Laws t shirts with a catchy Slogan or something? Just wondering - because A) I love those type of shirts and B) I can afford them (I'm 15).
Trevor's Answer: That's a great idea Nick. I would LOVE to have some shirts up for sale like that. Maybe I'll have a contest or something and have people send in t-shirt slogan ideas. We've been brainstorming but haven't been able to come up with something perfect. Great idea though.
Question from Jeanene: Hi, Trevor. Congratulations on a super week in AL! I really enjoyed watching you during the practices and the game. Lots of cheers for you went up from our living room! Anyway, I just wanted to know if you were willing to comment on the new Jon Tenuta hire at ND. I , for one, am super excited about the defense that's possible. Can you imagine? All of CB's knowledge and intensity and Tenuta's aggressive blitzing schemes? What do you think?
Trevor's Answer: I think that is a GREAT hire for ND. I also thought GT's defense was crazy good, and super hard to read. Bringing some of that to ND will only help. Plus, with a lot of the younger players on the team, having them fly around and use their speed will definitely create some havoc.
