Book excerpt: The University of Cincinnati's football team has always been an after thought to sports fans in Cincinnati, Ohio. That all changed when Coach Brian Kelly came along and led the team to its first bowl game appearance in the program's history. How did he do it? In Bearcats Rising, the story is told of how an old, dusty football program was brought back to life by a coach whose enthusiasm could set the world on fire. Sportswriter Josh Katzowitz takes a hard, in depth look at the history of the program from the early 1900's to their 2008 Orange Bowl win and what he uncovers is a circus of a program that was in desperate need of a genius ringmaster and finally got one.

Book Synopsis The 1960s in Sports by : Miles Coverdale Jr.
Download or read book The 1960s in Sports written by Miles Coverdale Jr. and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2020-04-27 with total page 381 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book includes the most significant sporting events of the 1960s, covering all the moments that generated tremendous growth in professional and college sports in America during this decade. It features stories such as Roger Maris breaking Babe Ruth’s home run record, Wilt Chamberlain scoring 100 points, and Muhammad Ali beating Sonny Liston. Sports became a national obsession in the 1960s as people tuned in on their new televisions to watch the exploits of some of the most legendary athletes and teams in history. It was the decade of Mickey Mantle, Jim Brown, Bill Russell, Bobby Hull, and Arnold Palmer, the decade when the Celtics dominated basketball, Joe Namath delivered on his Super Bowl guarantee, and the Miracle Mets won the World Series. In The 1960s in Sports: A Decade of Change, Miles Coverdale looks back at what was arguably the greatest decade in sports history, when the sports world of today began to take shape during a very tumultuous period of American history. At the start of the decade, thirteen years after Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier in baseball, major league rosters were still populated mostly by white Americans. The NFL and NBA were struggling financially and were much less popular than college football and basketball. The Olympics were still open only to amateur athletes. But the sports landscape changed dramatically in the 1960s. Coverdale traces this development by covering the significant events and iconic players of the decade, including stars such as Sandy Koufax, Johnny Unitas, Bobby Orr, and Jack Nicklaus. There were great teams and incredible rivalries, and professional and college sports alike expanded and thrived. Featuring over 70 photos of legendary athletes and memorable moments, The 1960s in Sports transports the reader back to a golden age in sports. With additional coverage of important historical events such as the Cold War, Vietnam, and the Civil Rights Movement, this book also reveals how social and political events impacted the sports world, making it an invaluable resource for anyone interested in this significant decade.

Book Synopsis From Rinks to Regiments by : Alan Livingstone MacLeod
Download or read book From Rinks to Regiments written by Alan Livingstone MacLeod and published by Heritage House Publishing Co. This book was released on 2018-10-26 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A celebration of thirty-two heroes of the First World War enshrined in the Hockey Hall of Fame. Praise for Remembered in Bronze and Stone: “A remarkable look at the many ways we honoured our war dead.”—Canada’s History “A fine tribute and a call to current and future generations.”—Mark Zuehlke, author of the Canadian Battle Series and Through Blood and Sweat This year marks the centenary of two pivotal events in Canadian history—one of them weighty, the other an enduring source of delight. In November 1918, the catastrophe of the First World War came to an end. That same year, the first season of the National Hockey League concluded with the Toronto Arenas winning the NHL championship over the Montreal Canadiens. This book with deals the nexus, or collision, between hockey and war. Unbeknownst to many modern-day fans, thirty players, one referee, and one builder now enshrined in the Hockey Hall of Fame were also soldiers in the Great War. Most of them served in the Canadian Expeditionary Force—the Canada Corps that distinguished itself on the battlefields of Ypres, the Somme, Vimy, and Passchendaele. Four of these men were killed in action. Four were decorated for gallantry. Twenty-seven were volunteers, and five were conscripted under the Military Service Act of 1917. All have remarkable stories. From Rinks to Regiments resurrects the memories of these national heroes and celebrates their contributions on both the ice and the frontlines.

Book Synopsis Scrimmage for War by : Bill McWilliams
Download or read book Scrimmage for War written by Bill McWilliams and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2019-09-19 with total page 399 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In late November 1941, two college football teams—Willamette University and San Jose State—set sail for Honolulu for a series of games with the University of Hawaii. Instead of a festive few weeks of football and fun, the players found themselves caught up in the first days of the United States’ war with Japan. For two weeks after the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor on December 7, the young men were recruited to dig and man trenches, string barbed wire, guard hotels, and join patrols as martial law took hold in Honolulu. They arrived home on Christmas Day after a dangerous journey back across the Pacific. Almost all of the players would go on to fight in the war. This is a different kind of war story, blending battle and gridiron—along with a strong dose of human interest, of college-aged young men unexpectedly caught up in the world war. This is a story of war and football, of Pearl Harbor and the first moments of the U.S. in World War II. It is a story of the very first days of World War II as experienced by a group of young men who witnessed it firsthand—and would soon be fighting it (indeed, who were already fighting it). This is a story of heroism, courage, self-sacrifice, and duty in the maelstrom of war.

Book Synopsis Tales from the 2004-05 Fighting Illini by : Brett Dawson
Download or read book Tales from the 2004-05 Fighting Illini written by Brett Dawson and published by Sports Publishing LLC. This book was released on 2005-10 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The word team is often overused in sports writing. It's used casually to refer to a collection of players that represent any old franchise or college. It's used passionately to describe a rooting interest--that's our team. And, occasionally, it's used to discuss what has come to be a cliche: the idea of a group of individuals coming together for the common good, sacrificing all personal gain for the greater goal of winning a championship. Serious scribes don't toss around that meaning of the word team lightly--or very often. And with good reason. In sports, there's rarely a cause to use it. But, there is no wiser usage of the word team--a unified core of players all working toward the same goal--than when applying it to the 2004-05 Fighting Illini squad that we've all come to cherish. They were a team like no other. Tales from the 2004-05 Fighting Illini captures the team step-by-step on its March to the Arch. News-Gazette reporter Brett Dawson shadowed Bruce Weber's boys the entire season and shares his insights into what made this team so special. The entire season was a rollercoaster ride of emotion: from the thrilling peaks--victories over Wake Forest, Wisconsin, Michigan State and ArizonA and unfortunate lows--the loss to Ohio State and the death of coach Weber's mother. Dawson adds a new perspective to those moments, plus goes behind the scenes to discover what made this team tick. He examines their funny bone as well as their fierce will to win. It's all here: from Midnight Madness to the first Dee for Threeeeee to the hoisting of two Big Ten trophies and finally a date with North Carolina in the NCAA finals. Dee, Deron, Luther, Roger, and James--led by the nationalcoach of the year--have a story to tell. Until today, only half of it has been told.

Book excerpt: "I have seen war. I would think no one who saw the Western Front in the Great War would ever think that a preferable way to solve world problems." George Grant thought his biggest problem was getting the love of his life to marry him. Living in the American paradise of Hawaii and caring for his teenage daughter Amelia were his daily concerns, punctuated only by what romantic trysts he was able to arrange. When the opportunity arrives for a private weekend with just himself and his sweetheart Georgiana, he gladly seizes it and things finally seem to be falling into place. However, George's paradise is about to be shattered. It is December 7, 1941, overlooking Pearl Harbor. Just what is that out over the horizon?

Book Synopsis The Oklahoma Football Encyclopedia by : Ray Dozier
Download or read book The Oklahoma Football Encyclopedia written by Ray Dozier and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2013-10-01 with total page 1109 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Oklahoma Football Encyclopedia is an historical description of every University of Oklahoma football game from the beginning in 1895 through today. Learn how the team got its start and how Coach Bennie Owen laid the foundation for the Sooners to become one of the most respected teams on the college football scene. Bud Wilkinson, Barry Switzer, and Bob Stoops later directed the Sooners to college football’s elite prize. Wilkinson was a great teacher of the Split-T formation, which guided the Sooners to three national championships, 72 consecutive conference games without a loss, and a major college winning streak. Switzer, a master recruiter, implemented the Wishbone formation, which brought another three national titles and 12 conference crowns to Norman. After the Sooner football program had dropped to mediocrity status, Stoops turned the program around and won the national championship in his second year at the helm. This book, now in its second edition, provides insight into Sooner Magic. Many OU football teams appeared to have a supernatural force carry them to victory when victory was not assured. Was it sleight of hand? Smoke and mirrors? No, just pure talent and inspiration helped push the Sooners to the overwhelming tradition the teams have displayed on the gridiron.
