Cool look into the past history of the Big House and Michigan football. Enjoyed learning about a different era of sports. My copy was also signed by the author, who I used to listen to call games on the radio with my dad.

I got this from Dad a few years ago as a gift. I finally read it as my "briefcase book," meaning it was mostly read on the ferry. It is not that great. I knew about 1/3 of the anecdotes included in the book, but that's not the reason for the rating. Brandstatter is just not a very good writer. He's a king of the cliché. He comes across as a nice guy, an editor-less nice guy.

This is a great compilation of some of the greatest moments and stories that happened at Michigan Stadium. Brandstatter, a former UM player, does a nice job of detailing each story, as well as spreading them out over the 80+ year history of football at the Big House.
