Seller's Description:
Jeffrey Sylvester (Jacket photograph) Very good in Very good jacket. xvi, 299, [5] pages. Foreword by Lloyd Carr, Head Coach, University of Michigan. Illustrations (color). Index. In this book, acclaimed sports reporter and Author Brian Curtis takes readers on an unprecedented whirlwind tout of NCAA Division 1 Football. To get the beating heart f college football, Curtis embarked on a breakneck itinerary that took him where all red-blooded college football fans long to be: Behind the scenes at nine big-time programs. In nine weeks, Curtis visited the Colorado State University, the University of Georgia, Boston College. The University of Tennessee, The University of the Georgia, Boston College, the University of Tennessee, The University of Maryland, the University of Wisconsin, Louisiana State University, and Arizona State University. He braved the rain to watch Wisconsin pull off the upset of the year, he was at Neyland Stadium to see Tennessee manage a thrilling overtime a thrilling overtime victory; he was in Tallahassee to witness Florida State's dramatic double overtime battle. At each stop, he brings us inside the game's inner sanctum; in team meetings and scouting sessions; on the field and on the sidelines during scrimmages, practices, and games; at re-game traditions, meals, and religious services; in the locker room before the game an at half-time. Virtually nothing and no one is off-limits. Also, with the players, Curtis got to know the coaches--from the young guns to the legends--spending time with them in their offices and on the road. BRIAN CURTIS is a New York Times best-selling author who has contributed to Sports Illustrated. He is the author or coauthor of several books, including Every Week a Season, The Legacy Letters: Messages of Life and Hope from 9/11 Family Members and Go Long! : My Journey Beyond the Game and Fame (with Jerry Rice). Curtis was nominated for two local Emmys for his work as a reporter for Fox Sports Net and served as a national reporter for CBS College Sports. In Every Week a Season, acclaimed sports reporter and author Brian Curtis takes readers on an unprecedented whirlwind tour of NCAA Division I football. It's a world that breeds great drama, a world that millions watch but few understand. It is a multibillion-dollar business. It is an obsession. To get to the beating heart of college football, Curtis embarked on a breakneck itinerary that took him where all red-blooded college football fans long to be: behind the scenes at nine big-time programs. In nine weeks, Curtis visited Colorado State University, the University of Georgia, Boston College, the University of Tennessee, the University of Maryland, the University of Wisconsin, Louisiana State University, Florida State University, and Arizona State University. He braved the rain to watch Wisconsin pull off the upset of the year; he was at Neyland Stadium to see Tennessee manage a thrilling overtime victory; he was in Tallahassee to witness Florida State's dramatic double overtime battle for the ACC title. As added bonuses, he was with Georgia when the team fought for the SEC Championship, and on the LSU sideline when the boys from Baton Rouge defeated Oklahoma to capture the BCS National Championship. At each stop, he brings us inside the game's inner sanctum: in team meetings and scouting sessions; on the field and on the sidelines, during scrimmages, practices, and games; at pre-game traditions, meals, and religious services; in the locker room before the game and at half-time. Virtually nothing and no one was off-limits. Along with the players, Curtis got to know the coaches, from the young guns to the legends, spending time with them in their offices and on the road. We see firsthand the challenges of running a major college football program, when called on, coaches must serve as CEOs, PR gurus, lawyers, politicians, and policemen. We also learn of the sacrifices made by wives and children that enable coaches to keep the numerous young athletes under their supervision...
