per Marcus:

Josh Campion always wanted to meet a player who was a part of the glory years of University of Minnesota football back when the program won a national title and went to consecutive Rose Bowls in the 1960s.

That wish came true when he was on an official recruiting visit with the Gophers as a high school senior in 2008.

Campion, a Fergus Falls, Minn., native, not only crossed paths with former U standout Judge Dickson, but the two bonded after they were stuck on campus for almost 48 hours during a snowstorm.

"Both of our flights were canceled," Campion, now a starting Gophers junior left tackle, said Monday. "We rode back to the hotel together. We got to talk. It was really cool. He showed me his national championship ring."
