    Worth noting: Kerry, 74, enlisted during Vietnam & decorated officer w/Purple Heart; Meanwhile, W, 72, was AWOL & Cheney, 77, 5 deferments, yet they sent kids to Iraq to die & have limbs blown off. Trump, 72, played golf w/5 deferments. And Republicans attacked Kerry war record?

    Imagine @NFLDraft w/Bubba Smith in green room. Imagine draft w/only 4 Black players as was case in 1966. @MSU_Football changed face of NFL w/4 of the top 8 picks Black players. Daugherty's 1960s rosters college football's first fully integrated rosters. tinyurl.com/5n96hw28

    Duffy Daugherty's Great Football Northward Migration, sometimes called the Underground Railroad as metaphoric, nod to Harriet Tubman's bravery, ran from 1959 to 1972. No school did more for college football integration...here are 10 of @MSU_Football pioneers. #GoGreen #Relentles

    Is @Coach_Smith re-tapping Duffy's Hawaiian Pipeline? Let's hope so. Burnett 3-star from @PunahouSchool, alma mater of Duffy @MSU_Football recruits Charles "Kale" Ane, Arnold Morgado and Charlie Wedemeyer. Burnett had committed earlier to Oregon State. tinyurl.com/mzekjeb9
