Why did you decide to play rugby?
I liked the idea of a sport that was like football, but with continuous play and everyone having a chance to make a big play on offense.
What have you liked about Michigan Rugby so far?
I like the community. It’s knowing you get to meet up with some of the coolest guys from parts of campus you’d never even think to visit at least 3 times a week. You just can’t beat that.
Describe your most memorable moment on the pitch.
My most memorable moment has to be scoring my first try off of a pick-n-go on the Cambridge field.
What’s your most favorite rugby drill in practice? Least favorite?
My favorite drills are when I get to pretend to be a back when we do hands drills.
My least favorite was the weird half fitness drill that was essentially a never ending 3v3 in a 5×5 grid.
What other sports have you played?
I played football all through high school, lacrosse until senior year, and have both run and thrown for track and field.
What do you see yourself doing in five years?
I want to be living on a 3acre ranch outside of DC and making my way to starting up or heading a construction company or structural engineering firm.
What is an embarrassing childhood memory that you can share with us?
The most embarrassing moment I’ve had was throwing up during a football game in front of my entire school because I ate 4 Bojangles sausage biscuits at team breakfast.
What is your favorite place in Ann Arbor?
I haven’t been around a lot, but my favorite place to eat is Cardamom up by North Campus. My favorite place to just do work is probably the CSED lounge in GG Brown.
What is your biggest fear?
My biggest fear is probably being alone. That or a ridiculous fear of heights.
What is your favorite food?
Beef cubes with oyster sauce, broccoli, and rice
Do you have any game-day superstitions? Explain.
I can never drink any kind of electrolyte heavy drink before a game. Water only. Every time I drink something heavy I have played poorly, so I think it’s just bad juju.
Who is you favorite superhero and why?
Batman because he’s just a regular dude that has this cool dark side.
What is the best advice you have ever received?
“No one is going to do this for you. The lights are on and everyone’s watching. There’s nowhere to hide, so just put your nose down and do it.”
Again Congratulation our May Player of the Month, Thomas Majure!
