Though I did not agree with all of his "conclusions" and beliefs about NU football; and I also believe he did not mention some key events in Nebraska Football history (e.g. Brook Barrienger) it was an interesting and fun book to read. If you like NU football or are interested in the history (mainly with TO's coaching era) you will enjoy this book. Note: I graduated the same year the author did from Nebraska and it was fun to read his perspective during this both fun and controversial time in Nebraska football) ( ) Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya

HTML: On any given workday, any little thing might send Steve Smith's thoughts spinning back to Saturdayâ??last Saturday, Saturday two weeks ago, Saturday two years ago, back into the thrilling minutiae of game dayâ??until reality reminds him: this is not how well-adjusted adults act. Steve Smith is not a well-adjusted adult. He's a Nebraska football fan, and this is his rollicking account of what it's like to be one of those legendary enthusiasts whose passion for the Cornhuskers is at once alarming and hilarious. A journey into an obsessed Nebraska fan's soul, Forever Red immerses readers in the mad, mad world of Cornhusker football fandomâ??where wearing the scarlet-and-cream Huskers gear has its own peculiar rules; where displaced followers act as the program's ambassadors, finding Cornhusker subculture beyond the pale; and where the team's performance can barely keep pace with its followers' expectations but sometimes exceeds their wildest dreams. Blending wit and insight, Smith's story of twenty-plus years following the team takes readers back to memorable game moments from 1980 to the new era under coach Bill Callahan, offering the uninitiated and the fellow fanatic alike a window on the world where fantasy and football meet, where dreams of glory and gritty gridiron realities forever j No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |
