Sage Rosenfels Interview

Interesting interview in this morning's Pioneer Press. They have these full-page, whimsical interviews all the time, and today, it's Sage's turn.

He says he wasn't ready for the NFL coming out of ISU. Not sure if that's a swipe at our program or not.

Does this work?

**isucyfan** · 03-09-2009, 08:46 AM

Sorry about that, guys.

Thanks, cycloneG!

**GeronimusClone** · 03-09-2009, 08:47 AM

Works. Thanks.

I don't think he was knocking ISU, just said he didn't do a lot of passing there. I could identify with a lot Sage said. Four channels growing up and scooping off the driveway in 20 degree weather to shoot hoops every day.

Imagine the chaos if I wasn't here to police broken links.

That was my take, too. I just thought it could be interpreted differently.

I, too, had four channels, but had the luxury of a heated, indoor basketball hoop!

Eventually we got smart and cleared a spot in our hayloft and hung a hoop. It was pretty cool, hardwood floor, bails of hay to use as screeners and plenty of pigeons to **** on you while you're playing.

Mine was an 8-foot hoop in my dad's shop. Cement floors, low ceilings (for some creative bank shots), mounted almost flush with the wall. Great dunkability...when we were really little, it was cool to get a running start, jump, push off the wall, and dunk. In the summer, you could open the garage door and have some more creative H-O-R-S-E shots from outside.
