Book excerpt: The long-standing rivalry between the Kentucky Wildcats and the Louisville Cardinals is one of the most heated in college basketball. Facing off against each other on the court for over a century, the intrastate rivalry became red-hot over thirty years ago when the two faced each other in 1983 NCAA tournament, and Louisville narrowly edged out the Wildcats to advance to the Elite Eight. The heat hasn’t died down since ’83; in fact, the animosity between the two has only gotten stronger, with numerous face-offs—both on and off the court. In Fightin’ Words, Joe Cox and Ryan Clark expertly narrate the blow-by-blows of all the most important moments in the history of the Kentucky-Louisville rivalry. Fightin’ Words, first published in 2014 and now newly updated in paperback, covers the hundred-plus year span of the feud. From the twelve games played prior to the fated 1983 meeting, to the Wildcat-Cardinal meet-up in the Final Four round of 2014 NCAA tournament, and every game in between through the 2014-15 season, all the games covered include insightful pregame evaluation, commentary on the games’ most important plays, and expert postgame analysis, along with interviews from key players. From off the court, read how Louisville coach Denny Crum craftily out-recruited Kentucky coach Joe Hall or the athletes in inner-city Louisville; discover a blow-by-blow of Hall of Fame coach Rick Pitino’s move from the Wildcats to the Cardinals; and learn how John Calipari transformed a losing Kentucky team into NCAA Champions. With individual chapters chronicling every meet-up, Fightin’ Words is a must-have for every true fan of college basketball.

Book excerpt: One of the oldest and most celebrated franchises in baseball history, the Cincinnati Reds have left an indelible mark on the national pastime. Perhaps the most compelling but overlooked period in Reds history is the 1940 championship season, during which the team won 100 games and earned the world title while overcoming an in-season tragedy faced by no other team in baseball history. Four attempted suicides, three of which were successful, by individuals connected to the team dealt a tragic and unprecedented setback to what was ultimately a successful season. This book addresses both the 1940 Cincinnati Reds as a collective group and, to a greater degree, the individual players who comprised that championship squad. The book begins with the story of Willard Hershberger, the 1940 reserve catcher for the Reds and the only player ever to commit suicide during a major league season. Later chapters tell the stories of Bill McKechnie and Warren Giles, the managers who together led the Reds to victory over the Detroit Tigers in 1940, and the stories of the players on the pennant-winning team: Frank McCormick, Lonnie Frey, Billy Myers, Billy Werber, Eddie Joost, Paul Derringer, William "Bucky" Walters, Johnny Vander Meer, Gene Thompson, Jim Turner, Joseph Beggs, Jimmy Ripple, and Ernie Lombardi. The crucial games, important performances, and personal tragedies of the 1940 season, culminating in the drama of a seven-game World Series, are chronicled in this book.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kyle Van Noy played college football for Brigham Young University from 2010-13. He quickly became a key contributor on defense as an outside linebacker. By his sophomore season he was the centerpiece of the defense and team MVP. As a junior in 2012, he was the catalyst of a unit that became the best defense in school history. What made Van Noy such a special player was his knack for making game-changing plays. Van Noy was a fan favorite, but not only for his play on the field. He had an inspiring story away from the field. Van Noy had some problems in high school that almost kept him from attending BYU. Once he was enrolled at BYU, the special environment of the school gave Van Noy life changing experiences that has made him a role model for many. Kyle Van Noy: The Game Changer looks at both sides of the Van Noy legacy. Each of his game changing plays is documented and discussed. Many of the life changing lessons he learned are also discussed by his coaches, friends, and teammates.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the civil rights era, Mississippi was caught in the hateful embrace of a white caste system that enforced segregation. Rather than troubling the Closed Society, state news media, on the whole, marched in lockstep or, worse, promoted the continued subservience of blacks. Surprisingly, challenges from Mississippi's college basketball courts questioned segregation's validity and its gentleman's agreement that prevented college teams in the Magnolia State from playing against integrated foes. Mississippi State University stood at the forefront of this battle for equality in the state with the school's successful college basketball program. From 1959 through 1963, the Maroons won four Southeastern Conference basketball championships and created a dynasty in the South's preeminent college athletic conference. However, in all four title-winning seasons, the press feverishly debated the merits of a National Collegiate Athletic Association appearance for the Maroons, culminating in Mississippi State University's participation in the integrated 1963 NCAA Championship. Full Court Press examines news articles, editorials, and columns published in Mississippi's newspapers during the eight-year existence of the gentleman's agreement that barred black participation, the challenges posed by Mississippi State University, and the subsequent integration of college basketball. While the majority of reporters opposed any effort to integrate, a segment of sports journalists, led by the charismatic Jimmie McDowell of the Jackson State Times, emerged as bold advocates for equality. Full Court Presshighlights an ideological metamorphosis within the press during the civil rights movement. The media, which had long minimized the struggle of blacks, slowly transformed into an industry that considered the plight of black Mississippians on equal footing with whites.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We can't speak for other schools, but at the University of Tennessee, they never want to turn loose of their sports heroes. After bidding their seniors farewell in their final game at Neyland Stadium, Vol fans begin charting the career paths of the school's athletes. When safety Charles Davis is featured on national television providing commentary for a West Coast football game, they will tune in. Or if towering offensive lineman Tim Irwin becomes the judge at Knoxville's Juvenile Court, they rejoice in their community's good fortune. It's safe to say UT fans have trouble letting go.On these pages are collected the stories of 25 former Tennessee football players. They were not chosen for the impact they had on the school's proud gridiron tradition, although it's fair to say all performed with distinction. Rather, it was their unusual-in some cases, daring-lives after college that captured the authors' attention. To a man, each player credited the lessons acquired playing football at Tennessee with helping him achieve rich accomplishments later in life.Fans will enjoy reading how Jim Haslam built the gigantic Pilot Oil Co., Bill Emendorfer put together a string of successful restaurants, and Dr. Bob Overholt became a popular television personality in his hometown. From Willie Gault to Doug Atkins, from Mallon Faircloth to Fuad Reveiz, Once a Vol, Always a Vol! details the lives of many a proud man of the Volunteer Nation.

Book excerpt: The Hall of Fame story of Grant Fuhr, the first black superstar in the National Hockey League and the last line of defense for the Edmonton Oilers dynasty, told through Fuhr's 10 most important games. Grant Fuhr was the best goalie in the league at a time when hockey was at its most exciting. Wayne Gretzky's Edmonton Oilers were arguably the greatest team in league history, and during the 1980s arguably the most popular team across the United States, even if many had little idea where Edmonton was. They were that good. And so was Fuhr: Gretzky called him the best goaltender in the world. Fuhr broke the colour barrier for NHL goaltenders when he played his first game for the Oilers in 1981, and was an inspiration for later players including future Hall of Famer Jarome Iginla. But in addition to their dynastic run of Stanley Cup championships, the Oilers were also synonymous with the excesses of the decade: Fuhr himself was suspended for substance use, a discredit he had to fight back from--and did, going on to set career records and earning election to the Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibility.
