CHAMPAIGN — Hard rains didn’t keep away customers on re-Opening Day at iconic Jarling’s Custard Cup — and Josh Whitman and Luke Butkus waited in line just like everybody else.
Shortly before the sun came out at 2 p.m. Saurday, the Illini athletic director and the former Illini center were served by former Illini and NFL football players Kurt Kittner and Tony Pashos, who are partners in the new venture.
While serving custard to the Illini, Pashos tried to teach his daughter Melina, 2, how to chant ILL-INI, but she was more interested in her chocolate treat.
