ok last question forreal...what are his thoughts on NCAA Football video game? What was the consensus of it when he was in college? did most guys care that their likeness was being used without pay or were they just happy to see themselves on a videogame?
make sure to especially ask him this one. it's from the heart :mjcry:

I can answer this one. I never knew one OU player who complained about that. Players would be trying to cut in line to get their game first. They loved it. I did meet one player who complained about the NCAA in general making money off them, but this dude never played and I think got kicked off/cut the team

Oh another note....

Man I miss those days. Being in a football crazed college town when NCAA 04 came out. Line was 30-mins deep even on a pre-order, but so much fun. So much energy, anticipation to play a game that was worth the hype.

I've said too much :mjcry:

What up coli Brehs, I just started a sports/music/entertainment podcast and I'm starting it off by interviewing my cousin and former NFL player/Virginia Tech stalwart/Army HS All American, Jonathan Lewis. He was a 6th rd pick by the Cardinals in 2006 (same draft class with Matt Leinart) and was a key player on those Bud Foster Virginia Tech defenses of the mid 2000s with DeAngelo Hall, Jimmy Williams, James Anderson, Darryl Tapp etc

He wasn't a star or even rotation guy in the NFL, and his career was cut short due to injuries. He only saw action in a few regular season games, but he's had some unique experiences. I'm gone get him on my podcast later tonight and ask him about his time in the league, toughest guys he's faced, the Geno/IK incident.

Throw a few questions in the thread and I'll be sure to ask him when I broadcast.

ask him,

not counting injuries why are some guys able to play well into their 30's and some guys in the same position don't make it past their early 20s?

Ask him what were some of the extra benefits he got offered during his recruitment. I could state some things my kinfolk got offered but statute of limitations aren't up yet
