Fun and Football at National Championship Media Day

Oregon and Ohio State meet tonight to decide the first-ever College Football Playoff National Championship. Obviously, both teams are filled with great football players. They also have some guys with great personalities, as I discovered at Media Day on Sunday.

I asked the same four questions to about 20 players on each team. Watch players tell me about their favorite — and most embarrassing — on-field moments in the video below, and under the video is a collection of the most interesting answers to a couple other questions.




What is your favorite electronic device, and what is your favorite thing to do on it?

“Definitely has to be my iPhone, I’m always on that. That or my iPad are what I use the most. … Social media, texting, phone calls – stuff like that. We actually watch a lot of (game) film on our iPads. I forgot my Twitter password, so I haven’t been on there for a while.” - Ohio State junior center Jacoby Boren

“I’m trying to figure out how to work my GoPro, so right now it’s my favorite toy.” - Oregon safety Erick Dargan
