Spelling error on NC State's part turned Stephen Hauschka into Steven Hauschka

Being a Steven is pretty good but we are not without our modest day-to-day struggles. No, we are just like you, people with other names. Case in point: former NC State placekicker and current Seattle Seahawks kicker Steven Hauschka. Hauschka's given first name is actually spelled with a PH and not a V. He is Stephen Hauschka. And yet you will not find him listed by that name anywhere, whether we're talking about NFL.com, or stories in the Seattle Times, or the Seahawks' website.

This is all NC State's fault, amusingly enough: when he arrived at NC State in 2007, he was just another anonymous kicker, and State incorrectly spelled his name with a V.
