I chose this book. I really liked the movie and wanted to get more of the story about what the players went through and how important football was to this small town (both positively and negatively).
You did!! Woo hoo. Anyway, I wes sort of saddened by this book. One quote that I still remember was, " no candle burns faster than that of a high school athlete." Being around high school athletes, it is easy to see why they think they are invincible and will never age. I was sad about boobie and curious about the teacher who refused to change that kid's algebra grade.
My goal is to finish this book before GLOVER! It would be an upset on par with the United States beating the Soviet Union in hockey.
