Ok, first off I know that the picture is way to small and messy - that's the joke.
Having trouble figuring this puzzle out? Here is the answer key:
1) Nile Kinnick - See the picture in the upper left, next to the car? There is a picture of a guy in a red shirt. That is me with my Grandpa, Charlie Smith, holding a picture of Nile Kinnick. My Grandpa has a picture of Nile Kinnick, and an associated photo album of people holding the picture of Nile Kinnick.
2) Alex Karras - If you move right you will see an autographed black and white photo of 1957 Outland trophy winner Alex Karras. Karras was also the star of the hit 80s comedy, Webster, and played Mongo in Mel Brooks' Blazing Saddles. Another Iowa Hawkeye was also in that movie, Gene Wilder.
3) Mark Bortz - below Alex Karras is a photo of the 'Fridge', William Perry, scoring a touchdown for the Bears in Superbowl XX in 1986. At the bottom of the pile is Mark Bortz. People remember Mark Bortz playing on that great O-Line for the Bears, but he actually played D-Line for the Hawks.
4) Roy Marble - Roy Marble was a great Hawkeye. With his son, Roy Devyn Marble, now on the team he is getting some mentions as Iowa's all time leading scorer in basketball with 2,116. Roy Sr. was sometimes known as the next Jordan. In the lower right hand corner of my Iowa Hawkeye mirror is an original press photo from the Long Beach times in 1986. It is a picture of Marble dunking in a game against UC Irvine. Remember these awesome shoes?
