Vandervelde. Guy could sing opera, sing the players to sleep the night before games.

Gotta go with Faith. The fumble recovery against Wiscy in 2015, PLUS, the #1 pick in the CFL Draft!

Going with Hilgenberg. Frankly, they are THE "First Family of Iowa Football" in the post-leather-helmet era.

This should be no contest. Mitch King in a landslide

The only guy other than King that pops into my mind who wore 47 was Leppert because he was on the cover of SI back in 2009. What a glorious stretch that was. Until it wasn't.

I am really enjoying this freature, Rob. It brings back memories or some of the greats of the past forty years, as well as some of the more obscure who had that one moment in the sun (Perfect example; Tork (42) Hook's interception on the goal line in the 1988 Iowa State game when it was 10-3 and the Cyclones were driving late)
That said, I can't wait for #31. Stiff competition there. Ronnie Harmon one of the all time greats of the Fry era. Matt Roth similiar for the Ferentz era. Mel Cole and John Derby were no slouches. Trying to remember a 31 post Roth but most of our linebackers the past decade have worn numbers in the 40's.
Keep it up Rob. Great segment!

Lol you can remember game sequences from the 80's but you forget Anthony Hitchens?
