KU has produced a variety of great football legends--coaches and players alike. From their beginning in 1890 to the present-day coaching regime of Mark Mangino, the Jayhawks have provided their fans with many thrilling wins. Some of college football's greatest players led the Jayhawks to many notable wins while gathering numerous honors for themselves, including Gale Sayers, John Riggins, Bobby Douglas, Dana Stubblefield, John Hadl, and Nolan Cromwell. In Tales from the Jayhawks's Gridiron, many former Kansas football stars share their firsthand accounts of playing for the University of Kansas. Those stories, plus tales from other great games and rivalries--the situations, anecdotes, and triumphs that have delighted KU football fans for decades--are highlighted throughout the book, capturing the tradition of Kansas football.

Book excerpt: For years, football at the University of Kansas was nothing more than a time-fillerwhile students and alumni awaited the start of basketball season.That changed dramatically in one magical season in the fall of 2007 when anundersized quarterback led the Jayhawks through 11 straight wins and madeMemorial Stadium the “in” place on a Saturday afternoon in Lawrence.Todd Reesing’s football career at Kansas is a fairy-tale story that beganimprobably and ended the same way. But he and his teammates took Jayhawks fanson a ride they had never experienced before – the heady heights of playing for theNo. 1 ranking in college football and their first-ever win in a major bowl game whenthey defeated Virginia Tech 27-24 in the Orange Bowl following the 2007 season.A year later, Reesing was even more prolific, and the Jayhawks played inconsecutive bowl games for the first time in school history. That season waspunctuated by Reesing’s scrambling touchdown strike to Kerry Meier that beat thethe Missouri Tigers and lifted the Jayhawks into the Insight.com Bowl where theythumped Minnesota.His senior season was a disappointment, marred by confrontation betweenmembers of the football and basketball teams, a university investigation into the conductof the head football coach, and a seven-game losing streak to end the season.In Rising to New Heights: Inside the Jayhawks Huddle Reesing talks about it all, thehighs and lows of making Kansas football relevant again and his journey through collegefootball with all the skills of a big-time quarterback but none of the size.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beginning with their founding as the Dallas Texans of the American Football League in 1960, the Kansas City Chiefs have been one of professional football’s most storied franchises. In Tales from the Kansas City Chiefs Sideline, veteran sportswriter Bob Gretz brings the team’s rich history to life. Gretz begins with the Chiefs’ visionary, 27-year-old owner Lamar Hunt, who founded not only a team but an entire league. After the Texans won the AFL championship in 1962, Hunt moved the team out of his hometown to Kansas City. Two Super Bowl appearances as the representative of the AFL culminated in a Chiefs’ championship in 1970, despite being a double-digit underdog to the Minnesota Vikings. It would be the final game featuring an AFL team, as the Chiefs and nine other teams merged with the NFL. Gretz covers the battles leading up to the merger along with the high and low points in team history—the lean years (1972–88); the “Carl and Marty” era, when the team made the play-offs in six consecutive seasons; the “Joe and Marcus” show of 1993; the dismal 2008 season; and the team’s 2013 renewal under Andy Reid and John Dorsey. Tales from the Kansas City Chiefs Sideline is a must-have for any Chiefs fan!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Straight from the mouths of the legends of the Silver and Black, Cheating Is Encouraged recapitulates the many as infamous stories from the last team to play “outlaw” football. Regardless of whether you loved or hated them, the Oakland Raiders of the 1970s were an amusing cast of outlaws, misfits, and anomalies that made up one of the greatest pro football teams of their era. The Raiders’ roster consisted of a collection of mavericks and rebels, some with behavioral issues, such as John “Tooz” Matuszak and Lyle Alzado, as well as castoffs like the aging George Blanda and the sandlot player Otis Sistrunk, who were passed over or disregarded by other NFL teams. To say that this group of outlaws had “attitude” would be a gross understatement. They were the Oakland Raiders, the Silver and Black, and Al Davis’s dream of “Just win, baby.” Gridiron characters (such as the Snake, Foo, the Assassin, the Hit Man, Dr. Death, and many others) chronicle the notorious on- and off-the-field exploits, away-game adventures, and the party-hard attitudes that are reflected in the team’s intimidating and glorified mix of renegades. Cheating Is Encouraged defines an era that can only be considered the last days of “real football played by real men.” Skyhorse Publishing, as well as our Sports Publishing imprint, are proud to publish a broad range of books for readers interested in sports—books about baseball, pro football, college football, pro and college basketball, hockey, or soccer, we have a book about your sport or your team.
