Aggie Flashback with former linebacker Michael Hodges
Key quotes from Michael Hodges interview:
"Tony Romo's picture is everywhere at EIU. He's beloved here. This place also loves Sean Payton."
"With the exception of 2011, I've been involved with as part of a championship each year. Working with Tim DeRuyter and Nick Toth was special."
"What I learned from DeRuyter and Toth and how to work with a program was remarkable."
"I don't know if I can pick between OU and Nebraska '10 as my favorite game. The goal line stands vs. OU were chilling."
"I can still remember it looking like snow against Nebraska with the 12th Man towels in the student section. I loved it."
"Following the Mizzou loss in '10, there was a come-to-Jesus meeting between me, DeRuyter and Sherman. That was the worst week."
"Sherman gave us a clean slate by burning the game plan after Mizzou. We recommitted and started playing as a unit."
"We had a good run, but the Cotton Bowl loss is what it is. I still picture Damontre Moore falling on my knee on the LSU sideline."
"We only lost me. We should have still been able to hold our own but we didn't. Give credit to LSU in that Cotton Bowl."
"Everyone knows how special a person Von Miller is. To this day, he's the most unique football player I've ever been around."
"Von was the ultimate team guy. What he's done since 2009 and on ... he's committed himself to being the best in America."
"In all of the research of A&M's SEC growing pains, no one accounted for Manziel. Whoever picks him up will win games."
"We knew Manziel was special just because of his given ability, but I didn't fathom him being the game changer he was."
"Dat Nguyen is a true friend. What he taught me was leadership and the intricacies of the position."
