The Legend of Sam Rogers

There are so many stories about Sam Rogers that he will surely go down in VT history as a persona of legend at the fullback position.

I figured we could put them down in place, so we can refer to it from time to time.

I'll start:

Sam Rogers once sprained his ankle in a Saturday game, and was told he could not play the following week, and on that Sunday was seen at 6AM catching balls on the practice field to prepare his ankle for battle. He never missed that next game.
