📷 HEISMAN PORTRAIT OF THE WEEK: Nile Kinnick💥
In 1939, Nile Kinnick etched his name in history by winning @HawkeyeFootball's first Heisman Trophy, delivering a remarkable season of grit, skill, and leadership.
As a halfback, Kinnick passed for 638 yards and 11 touchdowns, rushed for 374 yards, and contributed as a stellar punter and defensive back, leading Iowa to a 6-1-1 record. His 16 total touchdowns and relentless work ethic earned him the nickname “The Cornbelt Comet.”
Off the field, Kinnick’s academic excellence and humility made him a beloved figure. His Heisman campaign wasn’t just about stats, it was about heart, inspiring a generation of Hawkeye fans. Tragically, his life was cut short in World War II, but Kinnick’s legacy as a scholar, athlete, and hero endures as one of the most revered in Heisman lore.

🚨 BREAKING: Matthew Dowd has been FIRED from MSNBC after blaming the assassination of Charlie Kirk on Charlie himself, per Variety
Good riddance, loser!
Before tonight's game we held a moment of silence in memoriam of Charlie Kirk.
Kirk founded the youth activist group “Turning Point USA” and had become a fixture on college campuses. Charlie Kirk, a husband and father of two children, was 31 years old.
Charlie Kirk, a name synonymous with having the courage to speak what you believe and seek/welcome conversations with those whom you disagree with.
I’m not a political person but I am a proud American citizen and today was startling, saddening, and maddening all at the same time.. I’ve realized that I’m a bit naive to how crazy it all has become but watching a man get hunted and slayed in broad daylight because of his opinions made me disgusted and devastated.
This can’t be what we actually are or become as a country.. I believe that the good people will always outnumber the evil people but damn… today was an alarming day in our country’s history.
2 kids lost a dad.. a wife lost a husband.. and societal discourse lost a voice.
RIP @charliekirk11.. I send my prayers, thoughts, and love to his family and friends.
@farmerted71 How are you making that in a clear liquid? Where I used to work it wasn’t unheard of to run those rates, but we used 32%,10-34-0, ATS and used liquid clay to hold soluble potash in solution.
