[QUOTE="reopseed60, post: 1443367, member: 746303"] I go back to an Illini/Minnesota game in 1955 with Ray Netschske (SP) Later attended Illinois and graduated in Feb.1960. Still a strong supporter. I even have a story of Dick Butkus wanting to transfer to Memphis State mid year his freshman year. I personally heard the discussion between he and his advisor who used" pride of playing with the best( Big 10 and Illinois) at the time, to talk him out of it....... Was at Kam's when Ray came back from ,I think the North South game, and had signed with the Packers and was payed a bonus of $7,000.......I ran the parlay cards on Campus my senor year (only took 9 hours) that semester. before going in the service. almost got busted. the FBI visited campus and asked some questions... Ah memories.... [/QUOTE]
