Customer Reviews

No, this is not an oops.

Contrary to another reviewer's assertion, this book is not an "oops," nor is it "less relevant" because OSU went on to lose the title game to Florida. Such thinking ignores what an extraordinary feat (strength, discipline, fortitude) it is for any team to even make it to an NCAA national championship game, let alone to go into that game undefeated after a grueling Big Ten and out-of-conference schedule (including a win over a top-ranked University of Texas team). The fact that OSU has made it to three national championship games in six years, two national championship games in a row, and walked away with a victory over a seemingly unbeatable University of Miami team in 2002 is a testament to the fundamental relevance of the ideals espoused by the OSU coaching staff and embodied by the OSU players.
