12/17/61 Pete and Bump Elliott, two brothers who were the head coaches at Illinois and Michigan at the time. Bump's Michigan teams played Pete's Illinois teams every year from 1960-66 and Bump won the first six before Pete finally beat him. Illinois had lost all nine games they played in 1961 but two years later they won the Rose Bowl. Michigan won the Rose Bowl the year after that.
