Grant Bosiacki: If you had a time machine what would you do?

David Giese: I’d go back to watch Walter Payton play in person.

GB: What is your favorite football moment at USD?

DG: Beating Minnesota at TCF last year.

GB: If you were Coach Meierkort for one day what would you do?

DG: See how many crazy stuff I could get the players to do at practice. Maybe some somersaults and duck walks.

GB: How many pencils do you lose a week?

DG: At least seven. I’ll for sure misplace one per day, sometimes two. Each pencil won’t last for more than a day.

GB: Who is always the sweatiest player on the football team after practice?

DG: Brent Johnson; he always looks like he just got out of a swimming pool.

GB: Super power you wish you had?

DG: To fast forward and rewind time.

GB: What’s your hidden talent?

DG: I have the best jokes. For example: Have you heard about the corduroy pillow? It’s making headlines.

GB: Nastiest thing you have eaten?

DG: A carrot with mold on it. I was eating them out of a bag and didn’t notice it had mold on it.

GB: Most famous contact in your phone?

DG: Former USD Coyote and NFL player Ko Quaye.

GB: What was your favorite cartoon as a kid?

DG: “Batman.”

GB: How often do you do your own laundry?

GB: What was your first job?

DG: Pizza delivery boy.

GB: Would you rather sack the quarterback or intercept a screen pass?

DG: Intercept a pass. I have never done that in college, so I think that would be pretty neat.

GB: What is the most annoying song right now?

DG: “Party Rock Anthem.” At first I loved it, but it’s getting way over played.

GB: What was the worst thing you did as a kid?

DG: I brought home a stray dog and it quickly destroyed my house.

GB: What would we find in your refrigerator?

DG: Sunny D, string cheese and four of five pizza Lunchables. I like to eat like a little kid.

GB: What is your favorite NFL team and player?

DG: The Chicago Bears and Julius Peppers. Grew up a Bears fan; definitely my squad.

GB: Movie you want to see in theatres right now?

DG: “Tower Heist.” I love Ben Stiller and Eddie Murphy.

GB: Do you prefer Xbox or Playstation?

DG: Playstation all the way. Way better graphics and free Internet. Can’t get any better than that.

GB: If you could trade places with someone for a day who would it be and why?

DG: Rob Drydek, so I could mess around  in the Fantasy Factory for a day.

GB: What’s the best advice you have ever gotten?

DG: Don’t reflect on the past, look forward to the future.
