Every Tuesday and Thursday from 1-4:30 p.m. in a classroom at Wisconsin, tight end Owen Daniels sat attentively during his AOS 452 course titled "The Frontal Cyclone.''
Professor Jonathan Martin recalled Daniels, the Broncos 10-year veteran whose NFL career peaks Sunday in Super Bowl 50, totally transfixed without ever worrying about the class interrupting Badgers football practice. Weather patterns took precedence over pass patterns for the aspiring meteorologist who graduated with a degree in atmospheric and oceanic science.
"Owen never complained, never left early, never was anything but completely riveted by our discussions,'' Martin said in a phone interview.
