Reviews

[Laura Jean · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book is great for College Football fans, but ESPECIALLY for the Aggie in your life...ha ha ha, just kidding. They'll burn it. This is an oral history of the University of Texas football team. It is quite broad in scope, covering from the mid 30s through to the 2000s. These men came mainly from Texas, but other states as well, but they all share a love of football and the University of Texas. It was inspiring. And even though I am a pretty lackluster alumna myself, it was a powerful book.
