[QUOTE="Illiniguy74, post: 1947651, member: 656008"] Met a guy in my Georgia neighborhood with a unmistakable Chicago accent. Tough, burly south side type. We got to be friends over time. Turns out he went to CVS. Played fullback. Was a sophomore when Mr. Butkus was a senior. Got to practice with the varsity a little bit. Said Mr. Butkus was a pretty nice guy off the field. Did not like to be anywhere near him on the field during play. [/QUOTE]
