1983 Week 18 - Sunday, July 3, 1983. Attendance: 31,905, TV: ABC. [NOTE: If you want to skip all the pregame analysis you can forward the audio to about the 7:00 minute mark where the game begins] Defensive end John Banaszak, who has played football in Michigan as a collegiate at Eastern Michigan and as a professional with the Michigan Panthers, tried to put the moment into focus. "If we win the playoffs we'll be the toast of this town," he suggested during a champagne-soaked post celebration. The bubbly put an exclamation point on the Panthers' Central Division title clinching, which brought the Detroit area within two victories of its first major league sports championship since the Tigers' 1968 World Series victory. The 33-7 victory over the Arizona Wranglers, on the final day of the United States Football League's first regular season, sent Michigan, 12-6, into a semifinal round playoff matchup against Oakland. The Invaders were the Pacific Division champs with a .500 record. In the Panthers' victory, running back Ken Lacy threw for one touchdown and ran for another in the first quarter as Arizona, 4-14, matched the Washington Federals for the league's worst record.
1983 Week 17 - Sunday, June 26, 1983. Attendance: 25,041, TV: ABC. Five of Bobby Hebert's passes fell neatly into the arms of receivers Anthony Carter, Derek Holloway and Ken Lacy as Hebert set a United States Football League record for touchdown passes in one game and increased his league lead in that department to 26. Hebert defied the heat in Soldier Field -- where the temperatures reached 99 degrees in the stands and zoomed to an estimated 134 degrees on the artificial turf -- and blistered the Chicago Blitz secondary with 12 completions in 21 attempts for 247 yards. His performance before 25,042 fans -- 7,100 above the Blitz's average home attendance -- led the Panthers to a 34-19 triumph over their Central Division rivals and pulled them into a tie with Chicago for the division lead. Each team was 11-6 with one week to go in the regular season, but Michigan would win the division in case of a tie because they won both head-to-head confrontations this season. Hebert, who opened the scoring with a 39-yard pass to Ken Lacy. His other TD passes were of 42 and 15 yards to Holloway and 35 and 32 yards to Carter, whose eight receptions for 143 yards gave him over 1,000 yards for the season.
1983 Week 11 - Monday, May 16, 1983. Attendance: 32,862, TV: ESPN. New Jersey's Herschel Walker and a five-game winning streak by the Michigan Panthers brought out the crowds at the Pontiac Silverdome. They got what they wanted — a good show by Walker and a better show by their own Ken Lacy. While Walker ran for 87 yards — and caught passes for 105 more — it was Lacy who generally won the hearts of the 32,862 Panther fans, chalking up 156 yards and a touchdown as Michigan came back from a 17-3 halftime deficit with an explosive third quarter. John Williams also made the crowd sit up and take notice with a fine second-half performance, scoring two of the three TDs in the Panthers' rally to help them extend their current winning streak to six. Walker, meanwhile, moved back into the USFL rushing lead with 1,138 yards, 17 ahead of Philadelphia's Kelvin Bryant. Walker also caught three passes for 105 yards.

There's something about being around good people that want to grow personally, that makes you a better person yourself!
Ken Lacy, Executive Director of the non-profit, Veterans Path Up talks about the growth of this wonderful mission to end veteran homelessness. A lot of times, non-profits do not run like a business even though they should be. Ken talks to us about how his non-profit has been able to scale using a valuable network and implementing other systems into the business.
Ken Lacy, Veterans Path Up, is on the show to discuss his work with United States veterans and affordable housing. Ken is a Navy Veteran himself and talks about how he got his start with helping veterans and all his company does to help veterans. Ken and Abhi have a good conversation about donating a home for affordable housing and it can be used as a tax write-off. With rising property taxes and fixed income, it can be difficult for veterans to afford housing and this is why Veterans Path Up has been so beneficial. While this is a problem for individuals across the board, both veterans and non-veterans, Ken believes the key for long-term success and maintaining a standard of living all comes down to financial literacy. Be sure to tune in and hear all about Ken and the amazing things he has accomplished, as well as a favorite success story. To learn more about Veterans Path Up, email Ken at Ken@VeteransPathUp.org.
