Some Kansas City sports fans think that Jack Harry should just go jump in a lake. Thursday, the cold water came to him.

Missouri Mavericks President and General Manager Brent Thiessen challenged Jack Wednesday to take the Ice Bucket Challenge, the social media phenomenon that has led to more than $4 million in donations for ALS research.

Jack, with an assist from 41 Action News Chief Meteorologist Gary Lezak, took the challenge, but not before issuing a challenge of his own.

Sharing the love on both sides of the state line, Harry passed along the challenge to Missouri Tigers' head basketball coach Kim Anderson and Kansas Jayhawks head football coach Charlie Weis.

His third challenge went to the man with the bucket, Gary Lezak, commenting it would be a change from the LRC to I-C-E.
