Title: College Football as It Used to Be Played
Review: This is a "must-read" for all football fans sick of the egomaniac coaches and players so prevalent in big-time football of today. Murphy's book chronicles, with exceptional wit and wisdom,the travails and joys of the players and legendary coach of Division III St. John's University of Minnesota during a recent "Sweet Season." It is also the story of a young football writer for a national sports magazine who, in returning to college football as it used to be played before it bacame a major industry, rejuvenates his marriage and gets to know his kids - and himself.The story introduces the readers to a lot of "down home" Minnesotans who love St. John's, the monks, and most especially the Johnnies, their team of undersized athletes who don't realize they are not supposed to be winners, but are shown the way by a coach who is one of the greatest of all time.
