The associate athletic director for Ohio State University furnishes an insider's account of the Buckeyes' memorable 2006 football season, from their great 12-0 regular season to their loss to Florida in the championship game, offering a personal perspective on the players, games, training, triumphs, and disappointments of a big-time college football team.
As a college football fan and an Ohio State Buckeye fan in particular I always liking reading about the sport. What I don’t like is a book like this that gives almost no extra incite, information, or perspective to what was already known. Steve Snapp, who had been familiar to me for years for his work in the OSU athletics department writes a very vanilla synopsis of the 2006 season. As a Buckeye fan I’m glad I read it because I read most things about the school/team but as a fan of literature this was really bad. It can be skipped even by diehards.
What you get is a general review of the OSU 2006 season. There are insights of on and off the field that runs from spring training to the loss to Florida in the BCS Championship Game, and then into the process of beginning the following season. It was nice to get a recap of the great season.
