#BIG10 refs gave @KofiBigCockburn everything but s'mores this afternoon as they allowed the @IlliniMBB star to camp out for a couple hours in the lane against @umichbball.

A main reason for the fascination with Matthew #Stafford is he joined the #NFL #Lions just as #FantasyFootball was becoming a national hobby. Never have individual stats been so exciting, and fun to root for.

Talked at lunch the other day with Lowell Priestley, 78, of Tuscola County. Said that when he hired in at Eaton #foundry in Vassar, #Michigan in 1966, there were 670 workers. The place, later known as Metavation L.L.C. foundry, closed in 2013 in Vassar, pop. 2,600. #MichiganThumb
