Have you forgotten? Sage was the one that flipped me off during the Nebraska Game. In case you need a reminder, it's been over 9 years since that day in Lincoln where I put my life on the line to cheer for the Cyclones inside a stadium full of Huskers. That was also the day most of my family disowns me, including my grandma Pat who was sitting next to me but very very ashamed. That was also the day when Pitzen and I made it up on Husker Vision!!! And getting booed by 70,000+ fans (and most of the state of Nebraska) in the process.
Unfortunately not all was well in the Cyclone loss. You'll see my letter to the editor from that time here.
BTW - my letter was originally much funnier than that. The Daily always took the humor out of my submissions. I had a couple of others that were chopped.
After publication, my letter was photocopied and put onto every locker in the locker room. The coaches made a point to state they were to never EVER do something like this again. And that night I got a call from Sage himself to apologize and thank me for being such a die hard Cyclone fan. We resolved our differences at the next game when he showed me a shout-out during pre-game warmups.
Ahhhh... those college days!! I assume he's no longer flipping people off. With the NFL salaries now a days, he can hire someone to walk around and flip people like me off!

"Did you see that?"
"Yeah."
"Rosenfels just give me the finger."
Nice job photoshopping his hands.
Funny, I saw the blurb about Rosenfels going to MN and immediately thought about your letter to the editor which turns out to be your blog topic today.
