Hansen returned to the fireworks tent, ready for the week to be over, ready for the payday that would cover the rest of the expenses to attend Butler (Kan.) Community College and permit his comeback to football.
Months removed from his decision to transfer from the University of Oklahoma, Hansen had voluntarily isolated himself from his parents, his family, his friends.
