Thanks, lewis. I'll forgive you if you pull for the Tigers. Rivalries are much more fun if there are fans on both sides, after all.
The "real" Nile Kinnick was an outstanding athlete and a remarkable man. He was one of my dad's idols as a boy, and when he told me his story, I could understand why. I thought it might be fun to include him in my dynasty in some way. Look for his character to emerge more fully as the story continues.
Here's a link to a very good short biography of
Nile Kinnick
from an ESPN Classic program called "Everybody's All-America."
