Sorry...I realize people have already discussed this, but it's 5 am, I've been up since 3:30 (thank you, night shifts, for the havoc you wreak on my sleep schedule...) reading this book and it's just awesome. I gave it to my dad for Christmas and he and my mom are staying with is for the next few days, so I decided to get through it quickly.
It's fun to read about the teams my dad played on and see just why he's so proud of the two-year run he had (he played at Dixie for two years before). It's great to get a sense of the history of football at BYU and the background years that set up the first football season I remember following closely, 1983. I still think that 83 team was their best ever.
SU et al. really need to read this book to get an appreciation of just what BYU did in the 70s and 80s. Utah's BCS-busting, while impressive, just pales in comparison; BYU essentially did the same thing for about fifteen years.
Anyway, great read. I would love to see similar books about ND, SC, etc.
