Boye Mafe has a simple philosophy about happiness. I just try to make one person smile, the Gophers defensive end said. If I see someone who s down or is having a hard day or somebody who s frustrated, just by making somebody smile, that makes my day. … If I m in a room with 20 people and one person in the room is sad, I can t be happy.
Of course, that doesn t necessarily apply to those in football stadiums on the road. Mafe, a former Hopkins standout, certainly didn t put a smile on the face of Nebraska s Adrian Martinez last Saturday. Instead, he helped make sure the Cornhuskers quarterback was down, frustrated and having a hard day.
