Jack Trice throw backs

What if Richardson wore #37, just for the game that we wore the throwbacks?
I would rather see #37 retired, but if that isn't happening, this would be cool too
There is no NCAA rule that prohibits it. The only position that can't wear #37 is an offensive lineman -- and even then, an interior lineman can wear #37 on kicking downs. Every other position is fair game.

Others may have done some good research, but I don't think any of us were even claiming to know the number until you disclosed it in your article.
P.S. A link to that article would be very appropriate in this thread. Can you do that for us JK?
The article that confirmed his number as 37:

Just for fun here's the other article I wrote highlighting his high school pictures:

I'm currently working on at least three more stories involving him that will come out this fall on Cyclone Fanatic and my site.

Thanks. Great to read the first one again ... and I hadn't seen the second one. Have family visiting from Akron, so they really enjoyed the Cleveland connection.
Aww, crap, you're not related to that ISUCyclones2015 jackarse that's bragging about his 'high powered' internship, ar eyou?
No relation. We both just happen to have connections in Akron. We have never met, but I kind of like him. He is definitely a serious Cyclone Fanatic, so I definitely like him for that.
I hadn't seen those previously. I'm really impressed--good job. I can't wait to see the other stories this fall.
I don't think it's our place to decide what he "died for." We're all proud to call him a Cyclone, but it's not our part to make bold statements as to what defined him as a person. Trice himself said "[FONT=verdana,arial,helvetica][FONT=verdana,arial,helvetica]The honor of my race, family and self is at stake,"[/FONT][/FONT] so he clearly put those things ahead of his school, as he should have.
If Iowa State were to ever formally decide to do anything with this number, I would be in the camp of wanting to see a handful of student athletes (not even one per season, necessarily) honored with the opportunity to don his number.
Sure would be a hell of a lot better than the fugly things the Hawks wore in Kinnick last year.
I kind of like that idea. Maybe have one rotating team (or honorary) captain wear it every game? Whoever shows the most effort and drive to the coaches, or based on a vote from the team?
Yeah, we traded them out for our annual game against the Pittsburg Steelers.
Would have been cool if Jake or AJ could of worn it for one game, then have it retired forever.
