This book took me back to a time when life was simpler and simple satisfactions, like football, at the time meant little, but over time they mean a lot more.
The author takes you into the game. Not just what you saw on TV and how the announcers made it look, but really takes you into the pre-game, how the Fiesta Bowl people did what they did to get this game played on Jan 2.
He takes you on the field with each of the players 20 years later as they relive the greatest college game that they ever played. Even the insights from the Miami players makes this book totally complete.
I couldn't put it down and am glad I bought it. I gave it to my Brother and he read it in about 4 days.
Great book, great story

Customer Review: Don't waste your time. There are three different books with the same photo by different publishers. They are all ripoffs. Try Chris Warner's "A Tailgater's Guide To SEC Football". It's much better than this filler book.
