Ladies....if you want to know the athlete or the athletic supporter in your life and what makes them tick....I recommend this book. It is for the football lover as well as the "noob".

A great ride from one who's been there. Gent has a unique style and it really shines in this book. Funny and sad at the same time. Well worth the time to read.

Taylor Rusk became my hero back in the '70s when I first read this book.....his mettle, his mantra, his cynicism--- the ideal role model for a 22yr old chasing life. ....thank you Pete...again!

Bought the hard copy because I've worn out the paper.

I expected a lot more than I got here. I knew him at MSU as a very bright guy who was a terrific athlete. After he recently died I ordered this book. I'm sorry to say that his scope here struck me as narrow and shallow. It's as if at some point he ceased to grow his human capital concomitant with his enormous potential. Very unlike what we might have expected.

I don't write reviews

I suppose if you love football it would be alright, but there is no real story line here. I read about 25% of it and stopped.
