Scott Siepker visits Jack Trice's grave

[ChrisMWilliams]

I'm a history nut and thought this was really cool. FWIW, Scott is currently working on a documentary on the lives of Jack Trice and Nile Kinnick. He's been working on the idea for years. Finally starting to shoot it. Pretty cool.

What is the nature of this documentary? And more importantly, is Josh Kagavi involved? I hope so.

That town isn't too far off 80. I think the next time I'm out that way, I owe it to Jack to stop.
Looking forward to the documentary.

I was going to drive to the game against Akron in, well, Akron, Ohio.

This is not too far of a deviation from there...

Neat find.

Siepker's alright for a Hok fan.

I dropped by to pay my respects in 2013. Was going to leave a small stuffed Cy but forgot. Met a guy in the cemetery that was a retired HS teacher/wrestling coach in Hiram. He told me about wanting to win a state HS team wrestling title.

So he would take his team out to ISU each year to Harold Nichol's wrestling camp. He won the HS team state wrestling title. I told him the Jack Trice story and he said that he would look out for Jack.

Very nice tribute to Jack on that website. Pictures and notes left by Cyclone fans.

If Siepker isn't smart enough to use Kagavi for the Trice portion of this he is making a mistake. Kagavi is very well rounded on this part of ISU history.
