ogan Sobieck will go under the knife before Turkey Bowl according to sources close to the Blue Jell-O's star receiver. Sobieck a veteran of the annual game played at Poquette Field injured his knee at work weeks ago and was trying to rehabilitate himself before the big game but damage to his knee cannot be repaired with out surgery according to his doctor. Physical therapist
Brittany Rezek encouraged her youngest brother to go ahead with the surgery before the match up despite his plea's to remain on the team for opening kick off. Rezek acts as the teams medical trainer along with her duties as the sound slut.
This is not Sobieck's first bout with physical injury, he began with bad luck when he was just a small boy when he was severly bitten by a dog and had to have his leg rebuilt in the hospital. Parts of his leg remain without feeling to this day from the attack and he approaches all dogs with caution. Another incident where he jumped off of the basket ball hoop to the ground resulted in his breaking of both feet, but he failed to report the incident to anyone no doubt because of embarrassment and by the time his parents found out it was too late to do anything about it. During cold damp weather his feet will ache. And finally as reported last year in The Newsletter Sobieck was the victim of an attack by his room mate who punched him in the face for not bringing him a beer, leaving him with a broken jaw, and the prospect of sucking his pourage through a straw for six weeks. None of the other injuries have left him unable to play in the past but this incident definitely will.
