[QUOTE="Zettler, post: 1664598, member: 748487"] Great site and thread here. While I never attended the U of I, I was born and raised in Champaign and my Father was a Pike and Class of 1938? I remember going with family to Willlard and welcoming Butkus and teammates back from the Rose Bowl and then running into him at the Rose Bowl in 1984 where he almost took my head off with the look he gave me - I took a flash picture from a couple feet away as he signed a football. Turns out we were both drunk too. My big motivation now is reminiscing about campus bars from 1970-1985. My bar was Dooley’s along with Stans, Whitts, Red Lion, etc. I have a lot of memories from them, including running with football players… Anyway, just thought I would post here to prime the pump. oh, and my parents are buried across from Memorial, so maybe that counts as well!
