Goldberg watching son from sideline as Colorado, Deion Sanders face North Dakota State
BOULDER, Colo. – Shortly before Thursday's season-opening game between Colorado and North Dakota State, famed professional wrestler Goldberg roamed the sidelines wearing a black Colorado football hat as fans in the stands started chanting his name.
The WWE Hall of Famer, whose full name is Bill Goldberg, is not new to the celebrity scene here because he’s known coach Deion Sanders for decades. But he is new to the scene as the father of a son on the Colorado team. Gage Goldberg is listed as a non-scholarship freshman linebacker out of Boerne, Texas.
The Buffaloes run in the family. Gage's cousin David Goldberg lettered at Colorado from 2009-11.
Bill Goldberg played for Georgia for three seasons and was drafted in the 11th round by Los Angeles Rams in 1990. He played with Atlanta Falcons for three seasons through 1994 and was a teammate of Sanders with the team before turning to his wrestling career.
