The Jack Trice Legacy Game is here. 100 years ago, John “Jack” Trice, Iowa State’s first African-American athlete, penned a moving and inspirational letter in his segregated hotel room before his second collegiate football game. Jack’s life was tragically cut short after he died due to injuries in that game. His words and message have lived on, and his legacy has impacted Iowa State and its football program in every way. The stadium that now bears his name will be the place to be on Saturday as we honor our hero.

Weather: Cool and partly cloudy

This may be the perfect forecast for a Saturday football game.
