Here’s a recent article written by Joshua Kogavi in the Smithsonian Magazine. We all know the story, but it’s nice to see it being shared more broadly.

Another top notch article by @Kagavi, no surprise there.

Yes it was a very good book. Goes into the history Jack's childhood, and time at Iowa State and the end is how the students led the effort to name the stadium after Jack Trice. I found out my professor was pretty instrumental in that stadium naming effort in the 90s. Very well written.

Excited to check it out. I got it not long ago.

After seeing the thread title, and then opening the thread, I am relieved that this isn't about Campbell and his post game reactions to "you're on the hot seat!"

Thanks for the heads up. Where can you get a review of this book, purchase option?

I'm waiting for the movie. Anyone know if it is getting any closer to happening?
