Friday, 1/18


I have to go play TV Jim and do two interviews in a few minutes, but I didn't want to leave you empty handed. So, in that spirit, here are two interesting tidbits that History Jim has found while doing research for that “What's Up, Dock” show I'm doing with Jack in a mere six (yikes!) days (and the reason I'm doing those two interviews in a few minutes).

The first fact? Within about a 10 or so day span back in 1978, NMU had signed (and then lost) both Bruce Springsteen and Hall & Oates to perform in Marquette. Can you imagine how cool that'd been if either of those had actually worked out? I mean, that was before both acts were the hugest of superstars, but still.

Think of the stories people who around then could've told!

Secondly, there was an article from a newspaper back in 1961 or 1962 talking about the Detroit Lions and how they may have ended up using the University of Michigan stadium if they had made it to the NFL championship game that season.

That's so cute...thinking the Lions would get anywhere NEAR an NFL championship game!

Okay; I'm off to TV land. Have yourself a great weekend, and stay warm!
