Every Iowa State Football Game Ever: The 1940s

This decade is dedicated to Jean Lange, letterwinner from 1939-1941, who died on Aug. 3, 2020 at 100 years old.

To him, and all Cyclones past, present and future, I hope this series ensures the memories you brought to Ames will never fade.

Jean Lange, who lettered at Iowa State from 1939-41, passed away on Monday at the age of 100. He continued to attend every Iowa State home football game and was ISU's oldest living football alumni. #RIPJean @isuletterwinner pic.twitter.com/J2FhBNCwSt
