People would ask what college are you going to, and I'd say, 'San Diego State.' And they'd say, 'Why?'
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
If someone asks me to go to speak at, say, Princeton, I might or might not go. But if someone asks me from Norman, Oklahoma, I certainly will go.
Notre Dame is the one school that has a national recruiting base, from Florida to Texas to California.
Notre Dame was my dream school growing up. But in recruiting, they had some other plans, what position they wanted me to play.
If I did want to go back to school, I'd want to go to Loyola Marymount University over in, I believe, Morina, or Pepperdine. Those are just beautiful campuses. I know that's probably not the right reason to go school. The campuses are just stunning.
I didn't want to go to college. I wanted to move to Los Angeles right out of high school.
God has a plan for everybody's life, so there was obviously a reason why He wanted me to go to Notre Dame. Everything happens for a reason.
I consider The O.C. as my college. It was four years and I made friends who I'll have forever.
My dad went to USC and it always had been very important to me and my family.
My mom was born in San Diego, around Vista. So we've always been California people.
Everything I ever will be is because of Texas A&M University.
