Title: Horns, Hogs, and Nixon Coming: Texas vs. Arkansas in Dixie's Last Stand by Terry Frei ISBN: 0743224477 Publisher: Simon & Schuster Pub. Date: 26 November, 2002 Format: Hardcover Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $25.00 |
Average Customer Rating: 4.43
Rating: 5
Summary: A well told tale of football and a changing society.
Comment: Frei does a marvelous job of telling the story of what truly was the GAME OF THE CENTURY. You may be surprised as to who suggested tha the game be moved from it's normal date to become the last game of the year. It was a time when Arkansas and Texas dominated the old Southwest Conference. Much went into the preperation and much came out of it. Frank Broyles, AD at Arkansas and the head coach at the time of the 1969 game has NEVER watched the tape of the game.
Rating: 5
Summary: A Must Read
Comment: Excellent book not only for the coverage of the players and the game, but also for reminding us of the social issues of the time. A must read not only for college football fans, but anyone interested in the era.
Rating: 5
Summary: Well researched and objective
Comment: Unlike reviewer Star (who for some reason felt compelled to slam the book because he didn't like the teams involved) I found this to be a great book about a unique era in college football. The book is well researched and the author doesn't take sides. The detail of the game itself and the coaches thinking is very interesting for those who weren't watching college football in those days.
Obviously Texas fans will enjoy it more than those from Arkansas, but they still might be interested all the same. After all, it was an epic game. For those Penn State fans who are still bitter about finishing #2 to Texas, answer this: Why did Penn State avoid playing Texas in the Cotton Bowl? Notre Dame was the bowl committee's second choice. If you don't want to play #1, you don't get to be #1.
