Iowa Hawkeyes Play a Dynamic Fourth Quarter

I am taking a break from the Florida-Georgia Game. I have just finished watching the Iowa versus Indiana Game from the Kinnick Stadium in Iowa City, Iowa.

This is the only Stadium named for a Heisman Trophy Winner and there is a statue of Nile Kinnick in the plaza of the stadium.

Nile Kinnick's life was shortened by a tragic crash in the water during his training during World War II to become a U. S. Navy Pilot.

Nile Kennick's statue at the stadium which bears his name displays him as a scholar with a book bag. Those who knew him felt that this would be the most appropriate way to honor this Hero.

Of course you may like to know why I am so interested in the Kinnick Stadium in Iowa City. My cousin was the foreman for the construction company which completed the 89 million dollar renovation in August 2006.

Now You Know.

Now I must get on with the Tim Tebow Show.
