Sorry I missed this. I don't have much time to internet, so it's usually easier if people email me these days.

Here it is--just another example of how you can continually honor Jack Trice in a "low-stakes" kind of way that is cheap, yet would generate more revenue vs cost with merchandise sales.

Thanks. That is indeed very cool!

In addition to Trice, I’d love to see this guy back at Trice someday:

Moving the statue might be a way for the Mid American Energy to be emphasized more. Convenient solution to potentially de-emphasize Trice which we should DEFINITELY not do.

I am thinking that we could incorporate Jack's letter prior to every football game by using the video board. Perhaps do a video montage of historical pictures, the statue, and Jack Trice Stadium showing while reading Jack's letter aloud over the audio system.

I would suggest that the audio/montage could be played just prior to sounding the sirens as a way to start hyping the crowd in the stadium. Also, it would be another signal to the folks still in the lots to shut the tailgate down and get into the stadium.

Record each senior reading the whole letter, then cut it up into segments, overlaid with the bolded above. Finish it with captains staring into the camera, each one saying "I WILL."

One thing we know for sure. Liberals control public universities. So whatever makes the most money for them will eventually happen. Right or wrong is secondary. Liberals are all about money.

We're going to start instituting mandatory gay marriages too before games. They'll be forced, but they'll be fabulous.


On the Trice note, there is still a large display for him on the east side of the stadium. Hopefully there will be something in this new pavilion, too.

Ugh...this post just reeks of slow and spotty satellite internet.

I think we should do a thing like the Bears do with the little badge on the unis.

We have a 100 year anniversary coming up. And this time we'll do it right.

Why does this have a snap crotch? I usually only find those things at Adam and Eve.

Ya know I was going to chime in with a hearty "disagree" but I do think we run the risk of over-playing the hand. It's an amazing story that deserves to be told but I would HATE for this to be overly cliche and cute ala Iowa waving at sick kids.

MAYBE one game a year we make it Trice appreciation. Wear retro unis, maybe read his letter, tell his story, etc... but for a predominately white school in a predominately white state to seize the racial opportunity

Is that one of those Christian “book stores” I see around town?

We should do a LGBTJT appreciation game offering cheap wine coolers?

Aren’t conservatives all about money too?

My opinion is that they should have statues lining the new plaza. Start with Trice, McCarney, Davis, Amundsen. Then there are spots for additional statues down the line.
