Kinsinger's Story Picked up by KCCI

Morgan Kinsinger

Senior left tackle Morgan Kinsinger's story was picked up by Des Moines news station KCCI Channel 8. As chronicled earlier, Kinsinger has battled through football injuries this season, as well as illness off the field, to remain a consistent force on the offensive line for the Pioneers.

Kinsinger blocks a PAT attempt by Lawrence, his second of the season

Morgan played another solid game in the Pioneers 24-21 victory over Lawrence this past Saturday. With a huge block to spring Emmi Sandoval on a screen pass and his second blocked PAT of the season, he had a huge impact on the game. Kinsinger and the rest of the senior class have two games left, this Saturday at St. Norbert, and November 16 at home against Cornell.

The Honor G

The Honor G, the official emblem of Grinnell College athletics, was first used at the Iowa state track championship in 1892. Designed by Earnest "Skip" Atherton, class of 1895, the original Honor G consisted of a scarlet maltese cross with a black "I and "C" (for Iowa College) superimposed on the cross. Two years later in 1894, the "I" and "C" were replaced by a black gothic "G", and the modern day Honor G was born. The gothic "G", which was also used on letter sweaters and is now used on letter jackets, was replaced by an Old English "G" in the mid-1930's. After some protest, it was quickly changed back to the gothic "G", and it has remained unchanged since that time.
