The Football Writers' Association of America (of which I am a member, full disclosure) put out its 75th Anniversary Team on Thursday, a three-deep list of college football players at each position over the last 75 years.
Because of this demarcation, the timeline starts at 1940 and as such Nile Kinnick is not part of the discussion. BHGP briefly considered mancotting calendars in protest, but with another Hawkeye being celebrated, we figured we'd keep things positive here.
That Hawkeye is second-team honoree Cal Jones, a BHGP favorite, an icon of Sports Illustrated history and a hero on par with Kinnick in his own right.
