Frank Kralik lettered three years in football, but is best known as the greatest UT Athletics historian ever. Until his death in 1998, Kralik was considered the ultimate authority of UT Athletics history. Kralik spent countless hours researching archives and back issues of newspapers in order to help the UT Athletic Department establish official records and results for football and men's basketball. Much of the records sections in the UT media guides are the result of Kralik's research. Kralik was a life-long Varsity 'T' member. He is also remembered for restoring the "Peace Pipe" as a trophy in the Toledo-Bowling Green rivalry.
