Kind of think we have done enough for Jack Trice. His story is everywhere at Iowa State. WE named the stadium for him, we have a bronze statue out front. I think that is plenty to be honest.

Your name says it all.
The 100th anniversary of the season he died is in 2023... would be neat if they scheduled a series with Minnesota for that season and had some kind some kind of ceremony to honor him.
. I'm not sure Minnesota would want anything to do with this anyway.
I don't think Iowa State has ever published anything stating that Minnesota intentionally killed Trice. First hand witnesses even differed on whether it was intentional or in the play of the game."Let's play Iowa State so they can showcase how we intentionally killed one of their players 100 years ago."
I would think that they would want to avoid that if at all possible.
No it's a great story and we have honored him greatly. Don't need to keep coming up with stuff to honor him.

That being said, you stated pretty much what I was hinting that Minnesota might be concerned about.
Ohio return game could possibly be moved to 2024 when we only have 2 non con scheduled but that would mean we would have an extra home game in 2023 and fewer home games in 2024 (Iowa is on the road in 2024).Agree to an extent... but I also think/hope both universities would want to honor him.
I did see that our 2023 schedule is technically full... but would imagine we could move the UNI game without too much trouble.. not sure if Pollard would want to sign us up for 11 P5 games and 0 FCS games though.
Anyway... whether they play minnesota or not, hope they do something to highlight this anniversary. Great opportunity to introduce a Jack Trice game day tradition (imo).
I was trying to find Jack Trice's number... I don't think they had them on their jersey's when he played.. But was hoping to confirm that this article is correct... does anyone know if Jack Trice's number was 37?
It looks like someone uncovered the Iowa State vs. Simpson program from 1923, which would have been his only home game.

I assume you're referencing the Trice uniforms? (As opposed to the '07 CyHawk throwbacks).
It wouldn't surprise me if they hold off doing a Trice-uni again until 2023, near 100th anniversary of his death. They made a good attempt at the design, but being restrained on size of jersey numerals leading to the big white numbers detracted from its effectiveness. I know some fans agree with that, others don't.
So, what made you wonder about Jack Trice's number? We have been over this a few times with Kagavi's research, but your inquiry seems new.
It was just new to me... I was curious what his number was.. so did a google search and found Kagavi's research. I wasn't able to find anything else. I was just surprised I could not find anything official on it from ISU.
Just posted here to see if anyone was familiar with this and why there has not been any official confirmation.
