Dr. Eddie Anderson arrives at The University of Iowa in 1939 to a program in shambles having won a single game each of the two previous seasons.  Despite low expectations Anderson knew his team could compete with the best if key players never left the field.  Determined to have the fittest squad in the nation and implement his high speed no huddle offense he weeded his team from 85 players at the beginning of spring practice to 37 when the season started.  Led by Iowa’s only Heisman Trophy winner Nile Kinnick, 16 players would play every minute of at least one game that historic season.  They will forever be remembered as The Ironmen!

My grandpa watched Nile Kinnick play in what is now called Kinnick Stadium and 80 years later, I have been shooting behind the scenes footage for Joe Heath’s film that captures his story.  The movie will premiere in Kinnick Stadium in 202?, before being released across the country.  Potential investors should contact me at jimmy@letusdisagree.com for more information.  More info coming soon about a basketball project as well, so sign up for our email list to be the first to hear about it!
