What a wonderful, yet painful collection of memories that one mother kept of her first son. This was one of those books that you don't put down until you finish. Whether you are a mother, or just want to know what it feels like to be one, you have got to read this memoir

This book is a disturbing look at the win at all costs, I don't know you if you're hurt tactics of Lou Holtz. A school with the rich tradition of Notre Dame seems to be above the law. But it is more Lou Holtz the Notre Dame. The same things occured at Minnesota and Arkansas during Holtz's tenure at those schools. The book is outstandingly written with stories right from the mouths that witnessed them. The players stories really make this book believable. A great book!!

First, let me state that this book does attack Norte Dame and Lou Holtz, but is a great read into a two faced school and man. Hotlz is a master of winning with the other guys players, but seems to always hit the high point of his stay at a school in his third year, unlike other coaches. He has left every school he has been at in NCAA trouble. Remember this before writting this book off as just an another attack on Holtz, what is happening now at South Carolina is along the same line as the book states what happened at all the other schools Holtz has been at.

This was a great book by Don aeger and Douglas Looney on what actually happens in South Bend, Indiana, the home of the Fighting Irish. In the locker room, at the practices...they explain everything that happened during the coaching tenure of Lou Holtz with quotes from his former players and other colleagues. It was wonderfully written and great to read.
