In the third installment of our weekly video feature, "Get to Know Your Gophers," KFAN radio personality and Gopher Radio Network sideline reporter Justin Gaard sits down with senior Gopher defensive back and Cretin-Derham Hall graduate Shady Salamon.
Justin Gaard: Shady we have to start with the name. You've probably got one of the coolest football names in the history of football. Where's the name Shady come from?
Shady Salamon: You know, it's something I never really asked about. I just took the name and accepted it and just kind of ran with it, you know?
JG: I mentioned you're from Cretin and by now high school football is obviously starting, what's the trash talking situation that goes on with the Raiders to let's say Ryan Grant from Eden Prairie. Is there any trash talk?
SS: You know it's always something we like to have fun with. You know, just kind of going back and living the high school days up and kind of mess around with each other, just fooling around. It's something that we like to do.
JG: I've heard that Minnesota guys can cut the cord from their high school days, but the players from Florida and the players from Texas really have a hard time letting go, is that true?
SS: Oh yeah. You definitely see that a lot, they just really love to relive those high school glory days, so it's something we hear a lot about and just something that happens all the time.
JG: How annoying is that for you guys? Do you ever just tell them to shut up?
SS: Yeah sometimes it's something we just have to do because they won't stop talking. They won't stop talking about it, but hopefully someday they will.
JG: Hopefully someday they'll move on. Let's talk pre-game rituals, everybody's got theirs. What's the way you get ready for game day?
SS: I just really like to put my headphones on and just listen to some music and just relax and get my mind right."
