The O'Connell Open

[Lainncli]

1.) When did you first play football?

I first put on pads as a 19 year old freshman, at walk-on tryouts in Pittsburgh. I made the team and was given few carries in the Blue Gold game, but it was only in my second year I really got a chance to play competitively.

2.) Did you play any other sports before football?

I've been playing football, that's soccer to you, since I was a wean and I'll keep playing till the day I die, but on a more competitive level I took on rugby and track in high school. It was the 200m that initially gave me the chance to come to the US on an athletics scholarship.

3.) How did you like living in Colorado after joining the Yetis?

It's brilliant out here, somewhat of a culture shock for a Glesga lad where Pittsburgh was more familiar but I'm loving it. Definitely rate the bars, can always rely upon good beer and some quality live music around here which helps when I've got a spare evening. A few of the parks round here aren't bad either, for a bit of a quieter life.

4.) What running back do you aspire to most be like?

Walter Payton or Roger Craig. I want to be the man by team can rely upon in every situation, to be the leading the pack on every down. There's a lot of competition on this roster at the moment and I want to claw my way to the top.

5.) Do you have a wife or kids? If not, how is the single life going?

I'm not single, but I could be if you're interested...

How do you feel squatting 250lbs is going to help your game? Don't you think you should move past warmup weights and do some actual work?

Glebs, pal. I was bench-pressing 250, I was squatting 420lbs - Neither of those are near max, this is a workout not a combine.
