A lovely short read about Paul James time as a sports reporter for KSL covering BYU sports. I loved reading it because I used to listen to his reports and this book covers games that I listened to and that I read about. This is my time period as a BYU student and alumni and I relate to the games and the stories around them. This is great escape material full of nostalgia.

What can I say - I'm a huge BYU Cougars fan. And this book has some great stories from the long-time voice of the Cougars. If you blood runs blue you'll love this book.
