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!
