Chapters 7 and 8 may send you to tears.By Matthew RobinsonI enjoyed every single page of this book; especially the Todd Marinovich period (1989-1990) and the teams that were of my generation (1997 to 2005). This book was a candid oral account of USC football from the 1970s to the 2010s periods.I consider myself a well educated person on USC football (I've been studying them since I was in third grade back in 1991); but there was a ton of stuff in this book that even I didn't know about USC football.One of if not my favorite parts of this book was the seriously candid and in your face quotes from the one and only Petros Papadakis. In this book he really went in on some USC coaches and players as well as the NCAA. Man; Petros is a seriously talented football broadcast-journalist. He wasn't afraid to give his from the heart opinions on his alma mater's football program or the NCAA. Gottta respect that about him.I've read quite a few college (Go Gators! by Peter Golenbock and The Civil War Rivalry: Oregon vs. Oregon State; by Kerry Eggers) and pro football (Sack Exchange; by Greg Prato and Cowboys Have Always Been My Heroes; by Peter Golenbock) oral history books. And I must say Steve Delsohn's effort is by far the best I've read in this genre.And one more thing. The chapters (7 and 8) on Marinovich and the late Larry Smith's relationship may send you to tears. Wow; those chapters were something.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. A Great Read for Trojan or College Footbal FansBy Jeff McMillanI have been a Trojan fan since the 70's when my Dad worked there.This book was a great read about the storied history plus ups and downs the program has seen since John McKay's departure. Very informative and the fact that a number of the players and staff contributed their comments; made it even more insightful.I would definitely recommend it.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
