Summary: Replacement finally published for outhouse copy of sears cat
Review: If you want trash, sensationalism and a young writer trying to make a name for himself (gosh, I guess "unsafe cars" or "e-coli hotdogs" were already covered when this author determined his topic. I have known Dr. Tom Osborne and the Nebraska program and this book reflects nothing of a football program that has not only excelled on the field, but has achieved an NCAA record for Academic All-Americans, outpacing Notre Dame, MIT, UCLA and other fine Universities. The truer reflection of the Nebr program would be found in players like the late Brooke Berringer, who led the team to a national championship in 1994 and 1995, while playing as a backup quarterback. Brooke not only did well in school, but was a frequent visitor to children's hospitals and spoke to high school students. These type of student athletes never get mentioned, but there are plenty at Nebraska and I am very proud they attend NU.This author got his stripes tearing down and it galls me that he probably never met Dr. Tom, Brooke or never even traveled to Lincoln. The understanding in this book was probably derived from reading a paragraph or two from an Eastern Elitist newspaper. (You know, unless you are from Boston or New York, you can't be "sophisticated" or "street smart"). Save your money for gumballs, high caffeine sugar drinks and calling psychic lines....this book ain't worth it.....
