You may have seen Sister Sean Marie Tobin at mid field Saturday for the coin toss before the Packers-Seahawks game. Wondering why she was there? Well, through an essay contest, she won the opportunity to participate in the coin toss.

And she had some words for Seahawks QB Matt Hasselbeck (who famously called out at a coin toss four years ago that the Seahawks would get the ball and score): “I just said today the ball is ours. You’re not going to get it, Matt,” she said. “That tickled Favre, and he got this big grin.”

Read more in Jim Stingl’s column or on the Franciscan Sisters blog. Pictures of Sister Sean Marie are there, too.
