Iowa - Nebraska; Nile Kinnick shares roots to both states ...

[cidsports]

Bragging rights will be on the line on Black Friday, but Iowa and Nebraska share often in the journey together for many people, including Iowa's 1939 Heisman Trophy winner Nile Kinnick.

Just another example of Nebraska failing to recruit local talent.

I am okay with the. Heroes trophy concept although it is pretty forced him by actual reality. I think the idea of putting someone like his name to it in addition to it: at the hero's trophy what out a little bit more Nebraska/Iowa meaning to it since he had a significant impact on the history of both State Nebraska at the high school level and Iowa at the collegiate level.

Omaha Benson graduate I think.

update, confirmed. The Nile Kinnick Heroes trophy to the winner of the Corn Bowl would be alright and much deserved.
