That Would Be Gold (Erik Ainge)
Guest: Erik Ainge (WNML Sports Radio - Tennessee Football)
On this episode, you’ll hear from Erik Ainge. He was an outstanding QB at Tennessee from 2004-2007. He was a 5th round draft pick by the NY Jets in 2008, and he now hosts The Erik Ainge Show with Brian Rice weekdays on WNML The Sports Animal.
In addition to having an accomplished career as an athlete, his uncle is Danny Ainge…former player and now executive in the NBA. So that leads to some fun stories as well. Listen for when Erik tells of the time he played H-O-R-S-E with Charles Barkley.
Erik has a lot of experience with D1 as he’s trained and coached here in the past.
