After Dianne posted the photo of Harold 'Butch' Gutke on her blog I got to thinking, "That there is a phenomenal photo. USU Football needs a lil' something. This is just dying to be a shirt..." So I made it. Now I am off to the local printer. Place your order, limited time offer*
Update: The following was recently asked to readers of the Herald Journal October 5th, 2007, "Tell us who you think the best Cache Valley athletes are of all time. To qualify as a "Cache Valley athlete" an individual need not be a valley native, they must only have competed here for at least one year."

" If we are talking "all-time" and not just what we can remember from the past 15 years, Butch Gutke. Born and raised in Smithfield. USU football star from the early 40's. Drafted to the NFL, served our country in WWII instead. Coached for years at North Cache. "

" 1940's USU football was Butch Gutke. A Cache Valley legend!..."

" Coach Gutke coached me years ago at North Cache. He was a great role model and coach and I heard he was a great football player for Utah State in his day in the early 40's. Although, I think it was still the Agricultural College at the time. "

" What about Butch Gutke? He starred for North Cache, Utah State and was drafted by the Giants to play football before he served his country in WWII. He went on to coach at North Cache for many years. Truly a legend in this valley."

That is the coolest thing ever. I want one badly.
Wouldn't it be cool if we all went to the games wearing those? Awesome. Go Grandpa.
I want one. (and not to be too picky, but it was my blog, not Diannes) I definitely want a shirt with that awesome logo though.
AAAAAAAAAH! I LOVE it! (Sorry I'm yelling.) It actually was Steven's blog, but I ripped it off and put it on my Facebook page. If you are really making T-shirts, my family is definitely in!

That is pretty cool. We are all proud to be Aggies and proud of "Grandpa Butch"!!
I definately want one and I think if there's a picture of Grandpa on it I could get Nate to wear an Aggie shirt.
And if truth be told, Steve (or somebody Steve got it from) got the picture from my facebook (which I scanned and posted). So I am taking ultimate credit (I guess Grandpa had something to do with it).
I love the design. Maybe I love it because it features my DAD! Gordon and I each want a shirt. I have sent an email to my kids. I am sure many of them will also want to order shirts. Who do we contact? How much will they be? Go Aggie Football! We hope Coach Anderson has success!
Where can I git me one?

I guess I should be completely truthful. I got that picture from Ryan's USU Goodies website. I should have given him credit. Now, whether he got that from Karl's facebook I don't know...
I scanned mine in independently of Karl's.
