Texas A&M Football
"I never was a Texas fan after knowing about A&M and the Wrecking Crew. I played offense and defense in high school, but I always considered myself a defensive player and wanted to be a part of the Wrecking Crew. Track was the first thing that came up, but I knew football was where I wanted to be. A&M was the first one to give me the option to play both. I remember Bob Stoops called me and said, 'In 2000 we are going to win a national championship.' I said, 'Ok, that’s what everybody says.' It’s crazy that they did, but I never regret my decision."
"I don’t envy and get jealous of the programs at A&M now beacuse I still feel that I’m part of A&M. I go to the track and football websites and gloat. People say, 'Hey, what did you do when you were there? Don’t worry about it, we’re talking about right now.' I’m not afraid to wear my maroon down here in Austin."
"I knew I was able to do the work necessary to recover from the injury, but I didn’t know how tough it would be. It was a hard road, but it brought out my football career and allowed me to learn how tough I was."
"The Utah game is one of my favorite memories. It was a great win. The quarterback I hit was Brett Elliot, the reason I know that is because he was our quarterback in Canada. I didn’t know him but he knew me, he came up and said, 'Hey, you’re the guy that broke my wrist.'"
"Texas was on the two-yard line and all I remember is Vince Young jumping over the pile. It was almost like slo-mo. Once I caught the ball, I knew I just had to make one defender miss. I did a hesitation step and went to the left and from there it was. I thought, 'I can’t believe this is happening in my hometown, in my last game.' If people know me, they know me from that.

Key quotes from Jonte Buhl interview
"Playing in the CFL was definitely a different experience. What I enjoyed was the challenge of it, they say it is a defensive back's nightmare and a wide receivers dream. I’m on the one-yard line and get beat for a 21-yard touchdown, on the one and get bombed on. It’s definitely a rewarding experience, playing against some of the guys you played against in college with new rules. Go from four downs to three, different game.""I never was a Texas fan after knowing about A&M and the Wrecking Crew.
