My publishing house (Taylor Trade) tells me the book got a mention in the Publishers Weekly fall preview. It's, naturally, in the listing of sports books on page 122, loosely sandwiched between Rich Eisen's insider book on the NFL and Sal Paolantonio's book on the most overrated and underrared teams, coaches and moments in NFL history.Yeah, but do they have a photo of the 1923 national champions from Illinois?
Red Grange, second row and third from the left, helped coach Robert Zuppke win his third national title as Illinois finished 8-0 and outscored opponents 136-20. In his debut against Nebraska, the Galloping Ghost had touchdown runs of 50, 35 and 12 years, to lead a 24-7 victory. Photo courtesy Illinois Sports Information Archives.
Beat that guys, yeah! ... actually, Sal and I have crossed paths many times, and I have met Rich once. I hope their books do very well ... even though we're probably all going to get killed by John Daly's book: "Grip It and Sip It."
