Ezekiel Nana “Ziggy” Ansah is an American collegiate football player from Ghana, Africa. He is a linebacker at Brigham Young University. Ansah grew up playing soccer but was recruited to BYU by a Mormon missionary who thought the Ghanaianâs 6′ 6″ 250-pound frame would lend itself to football. Ansah converted to the LDS faith and was awarded an academic scholarship to BYU in 2008. However, rather than going out for the football team, Ansah, a huge fan of LeBron James, tried out for the basketball team but was cut from both the 2008 and 2009 teams. After facing rejection in basketball Ansah did successfully walk on to the BYU track team, where he ran a 10.91 in the 100-meter dash in addition to clocking a time of 21.89 seconds in the 200 meters. Finally, Ansah was persuaded to try out for the football team, and he began playing football for the Cougars in 2010.
Super Bowl XLVII, the 47th edition of the Super Bowl and the 43rd modern era National Football League championship game, is scheduled to be played in 2013 at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana to determine the champion for the 2012 season. The game is to be held on February 3, 2013. Therefore, the 2013 Mardi Gras calendar in Orleans Parish will be changed. Parades scheduled for February 3 and before will likely move ahead one week. The same occurred in 2002 when the September 11 attacks caused a one-week delay in the 2001 NFL season, resulting in Super Bowl XXXVI falling within the Mardi Gras parade calendar.
