About this ebook
What event most electrifies a small college town?
Is it the U.S presidential elections?
No.
Is it an earthquake? No.
Is it the election of a new mayor? No.
Is it the firing and hiring of a football coach? Yes..
This is the story of just such an event. This is a fictionalized version of real stories and real people who lived long ago. The undefeated football season summarized here actually once took place at Rutgers University.. Other events actually took place primarily at St Lawrence University. Yes there was an outstanding season. Yes there actually was the horny sociologist. Yes, there actually was a beautiful woman we have called yes. Yes, the sex in the chapel and the ridiculous faculty smoker actually happened; And the coach is the hero, or is he? And there has to be a villain, but who is the villain in our story? And who is the heroine?
