More like a collection of short essays that was compiled into various chapters. I enjoyed reading Spike’s anecdotes about his career at Tech. On a personal level, I knew every small town he mentioned from West Texas and I am very proud of that.

Playing for Spike must have been a real honor. Seems exactly like the guy you would wanna play for. His commentary in this book was pretty enjoyable to read.
