You are about to be swept into the genius minds of Iowa fans, awe-struck by their farsighted scheming, stricken dumb by their tales of fandom as they lay bare their sordid love affair with their home state football team. America’s bestselling sports author Rich Wolfe garnishes this one-of-a-kind chronicle with oodles of sports trivia and captures the spirit with chapters called "Fandemonium" and "A Coach is a Teacher with a Death Wish." There’s never been a book like this…a vehicle for black-and-gold fans to share their funniest stories, saddest memories, happiest times, and craziest moments. Every story will jog your personal Hawkeye memory bank—the joy, the jokes, the pranks, the games—told by an all-star team of fans. Get your estate in order. You may not live to see another dawn because you might die laughing.
If you are a Hawkeye, especially an older one, you can't miss reading this book! I savored almost every word in it. What old times it brought back and the fact that I have first hand experience in the best parts, the old days of 50's and 60's, doesn't hurt! Now that I have found a sports writer that is "down to earth" I want to read more by him. For one thing, I understand that he has a new book out about the famous announcer, Harry Kallas! That is a must read for me.
