Casey Grogan
Issue date: 11/26/08 Section: Sports
1) Thoughts on the uniform match-up for Civil War?
SN: They have tire marks on the jerseys for a reason, because we run over them and ours are obviously better.
ED: We pick them on Thursday. It will probably be something interesting all yellow or all white.
2) Canned or real cranberries for Thanksgiving?
SN: You have to go with real. We are the real thing up here as compared to the canned thing down south.
ED: You have to go with the real things.
3) Reser or Autzen?
SN: Reser.
ED: Autzen.
4) On the Thanksgiving Turkey, light or dark meat?
SN: Dark meat. I have to gain the weight and need the fatty stuff.
ED: Dark meat.
5) How old you were when you watched your first Civil War?
SN: When I was born, I have always been watching football.
ED: I was 18.
6) Thanksgiving tradition?
SN: Going to our house and having the whole family come over.
ED: Probably watching football.
7) Who wins in a fight, Benny or the Duck?
SN: Benny obviously, he has the teeth.
ED: I would root for the Duck.
8) Civil War football hero?
SN: Ken Simonton.
ED: Danny O'Neil.
9) Where would you like to spend the holiday?
SN: Maybe Cabo San Lucas, just somewhere nice to relax.
ED: Back in southern California. I could be anywhere as long as I have my family.
10) Which mascot would you least like to run into in the wild?
SN: The duck, they are annoying.
ED: The beaver, they have those teeth.
11) Greatest memory of this football season, so far?
SN: Beating USC and we had all the fans into it. It was a great atmosphere and a fun night.
ED: The Purdue game, going out there and battling back. We weren't doing too good in the first half and we came through the second half.
12) What is your personal playing highlight of Civil War?
SN: My first year playing against Oregon, I have never been hit harder in my life. I got completely decleated and that is what I remember most from Civil War. Last year though I tackled Jonathan Stewart in the backfield for a loss.
ED: I am looking to make some new highlights, but I think my first Civil War, I had one of the key blocks on a touchdown that kept us in the game.
