Dahl's Dad used to be a sales rep for our company on the West Coast. I never met him. He was transitioning out in the late '90s before I had the chance.

Fighting Illini playing in the '83 Rose Bowl was a pretty big deal. Stores were giving away posters and Dahl even did a broadcast from the Rose Bowl Parade. Can you imagine a modern, regular shift radio host working new years day for a parade


Wasn't that the '84 game. I guess, it was the bowl after the '83 season but I always think of the year it was played in vs. the season and that was of course the game I am referring to. Does't matter. I probably remember it for no other reason than the Fighting Illini in Pasadena song. My folks weren't big Illini fans but it was drilled into my head that you cheered for the Big 10 in the Rose Bowl. Unless it was the Golden Gophers but that has never been a problem in my recollection.

He used to have his dad, Roger I think, on a lot.

Strange, because the only reason anyone even remembered Minnesota back in those days was the crazy basketball arena with the raised floor

Usually considered the best team to never win a Rose Bowl. Source: Hang on, BRB

Iowa and Minnesota had a rivalry when my parents were in college in the late 50s/early 60s and mom said it rather jokingly. If my grandmother had said it.. well, thst wouldn’t have been a joke.
