Between him, Mercury Morris, and bad man Larry Csonka, they rampaged to a perfect season.

This backfield and perfect season for the fish were one of the favorites to watch. Kiick was a leader of men in that group.

RIP, pal. You were an inspiration to many as part of that team.

RIP Kiick

If memory serves me correctly not only was he a duo with Csonka but he was one of the greatest duos in College football. Teaming up with Dickerson at SMU a big time one two punch!

He was way ahead of Dickerson at SMU. In fact, I think that he retired from the NFL about 5 years before Dickerson's rookie season.

That's it, thanks. Believe James was with the Pats for a few season??? Still I remember Kiick and Csonka with their Sports Illustrated cover photo and them doing the finger on their knee in a pose. Us jocks in HS then emulated them and did that pose in the year book. They were able to find it and erased them so that it was not viewed in the year book. But they forgot to check the Varsity Club photo...there it was, lol laugh

My heart goes out to Kiick and his family. Lets leave the NAZI Csonka out of this.

Never heard of Csonka being a Nazi, but I haven't heard everything. I just mentioned him as being part of the best trio of backs on a team ever assembled.

You have been a bud a long time. I wasn't trying to disturb you.

I’m sorry, did you have something read-worthy?

Doubtful. But either way, I can’t see what you post.
