Illinois at the 2008 Rose Bowl

1964 Rose Bowl Memory

Blackie Blackwell

My Dad was associate trainer for that team when we played the Washington Huskies and WON 17-7. Our family was raised loving the Illini. Many, many fond memories.

If I can figure out how to upload the banquet picture you will see a young Dick Butkus. I have the Rose Bowl watch, the Rose Bowl went to my brother, James, the ring went to my brother, Ron and we have no idea where the Rose Bowl Ball went. The family thinks coach Smith of Rantoul Eagles 1970's may know.

Go Illini!
