Tanner Castora fills in the gaps of information for any Jackrabbit Football fan. From the history of the football program to the history of the man, Castora lays out a rich history of a program and coach who went from relative unknowns to beloved figures in the state of South Dakota. As someone who not only graduated from SDSU but was also part of the strength and conditioning staff, I was able to witness some of the what was detailed in this book. The nostalgia and the new information to those of us who were not privy to the inner workings of the program makes for such a wonderful read!
This was a very enjoyable read. One does not need to be a football junkie or a religious zealot to appreciate this depiction of a humble, simply good man as he lived his life following his dream and his passions. Castora kindly covered the raw human foibles and idiosyncrasies of an influential man to many, if not most, of us alumni from South Dakota State University and beyond.
Really liked this, especially since I lived in Peirson Hall(3rd north) when Stig was there. I knew Tim Wassom and “fingers” Mcphearson plus many others in the book. Good read.
