Aggie Flashback with former linebacker Jeff Paine
Key quotes from Jeff Paine interview
"My dream growing up was to ride a dirtbike or be a rockstar."
"When I finished playing at Richardson High School, Coach Slocum came on campus one day and I happened to be wearing an A&M muscle shirt."
"RC gave me a uniform and wanted me to come and try out for the Aggies. I was an invited walk-on, if that's the term they used back then."
"I'll never forget the day I got a scholarship here. All of the sudden I was competing to start at tight end, and possibly backup linebacker, and special teams. I was on every team they had so I got put on full scholarship."
"If I hadn't finished as a starter, I knew I wouldn't have my scholarship."
"We didn't have all the video games and stuff. We had to make our own fun. SO I started making noises."
"My kids had me sign up for America's Got Talent and I made it to the live judges round."
