Congratulations to Rollie and Nancy Cooper who will be inducted into the UW-Whitewater Athletic Hall of Fame Saturday evening in the Hamilton Room at the James R. Connor University Center.
The Cooper’s are the recipients of the Hall of Fame’s 2011 Distinguished Service Award.
The contributions the Coopers have made to UW-W intercollegiate athletics are numerous.
Rollie and Nancy have been long-time supporters of Warhawk teams with their attendance at events, financial support, booster club membership and service to the athletic department.
One thing is a constant – the Coopers support not only football, but a wide range of UW-Whitewater athletic programs by attending games or contests on a regular basis.
For years, the Coopers have been seated at the same table (southeast corner) of the Saxes Lone Star Inn dining room at the weekly Quarterback Club meetings.
Each week, Rollie and Nancy’s names top the reservation list for the fan bus heading to a Warhawk road game.
In his letter to prospective Quarterback Club members Warhawk head football coach Lance Leipold wrote: Our Warhawks would not be where they are today without this support. Becoming a member of the Warhawk Quarterback Club is your way to support the team and be a part of the “power behind the tradition.”
