For those interested,

Sooner Born in Tulsa, OK, had a rough start at life and was on the streets by 11.
Drifted for a few years, but always found a way back to T-town. Turned to crime and was termed a "menace to society" by 15 (it's an actual legal term, not just a movie), then certified as an adult and sent to a real jail, to this day, I believe I was the only 15 year old to do so without having a violent charge.
Spent several years in prison. Was so young that I was mistaken for a guards lost son by the inmates (at 15, I looked 12).
After a few beatings, both sustained and delivered, learned what respect was and how to disrespect most effectively if called upon.
Got to experience a real riot at Holdenville (Davis CC), that was fun. Met the smartest person I know and the most gifted athlete I know in prison, along with the craziest (real crazy). Learned that if I see a line, to get in it because it's going somewhere and the meaning of, "If you meet a new person, you lie to them for 15 minutes, then they lie to you for 15, then you both rest for 15." What a tangle of truth that statement is!
Never had the chance to experience high school, but did get some college in, go figure.
Did spend a few very memorable summers in Tampa, FL, and still consider it my second hometown.
Related by blood to Will Rogers, the husband of outlaw Bell Star, Amber Valletta http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amber_Valletta, Candice Rojas-watch out for this one world!- (http://www.experiment7themovie.com ), and also numerous Cherokee Chiefs (Moy Toy Tribe), one of whom is John Rogers, the last hereditary Chief of the Cherokee tribe.
Have a beautiful 5 year old daughter named Cambria (Coheed and Cambria), and a son named Legion just born on May 4th.
Recently found a new skill in writing here on B/R (what a site, huh!) and always look for a reason to talk about my Oklahoma Sooners.

Thank You,
Logan Rogers

Funny, I was at both of those Bradford games too.....and a lot of the ones in between. Every time I felt as if we were watching something special, and that I'd better enjoy it while I could. If he ends up a Redskin, I'll be attending 1 Cowboy game every year.
