I know and I spelled Rodgers wrong. Edited it.
My grandmother's last name was Rodgers. She told the family that we are related to anyone who spelled Rodgers with a “d.” So I’ve always liked the idea that I was related to Johnny the Jet.

I also grew up in Scottsbluff...
QB Travis Turner...I actually wore some of his hand-me downs that my mom got from them when his family owned Turner Motors on East Overland.
WB Jamie Worden...He graduated with my older brother...didn't play much. His little by brother and I were in the same class, but the family moved to York before we graduated.
Eric Piatkowski...His older brother, David, was a year older than me who I played high school basketball with. After David went to Hastings to play in college, the family moved to Rapid City, SD.
I actually met Frosty Anderson at a National USATF Meeting in Florida and didn't know all that much about his history in Scottsbluff since I was born the following March after that 1968 game against Fremont.
I'm from Bellevue, so there have been a bunch, but I went to High School with Willie Miller

I owe him a drink!
I can't be that guy for my little bitty drip town. I graduated from same high school as @FeelLikeAStranger
Not much here in Bethesda, Maryland. But my dad was a janitor at the university when George Sauer played. Top that!
Not a Husker, but my dad went to Scottsbluff Junior College at the time when Dick "Night Train" Lane was playing football there.

I've been away from Minden a long time so I don't know John.
Chis Van Norman and I played on the same state championship team. We were both RB's and both played on defense. He was the star of the team and a really good guy too.
Greg Jorgensen dated my sister for a short time. I remember him pulling us behind a tractor on an old car hood in the snow. It was a lot of fun and nobody died.
He pulled your sister’s behind on a what ?
I’m not sure whether this is TMI or not enough.

Her behind was pretty big. Pulling her behind a tractor on a car hood was the only way to get her from place to place.
(Disclaimer: In case she ever happens to see this, her behind was really not that big. And please don't hurt me.)
