Book Description
The most beloved and decorated player in Florida history takes fans behind the scenes and into the locker room for one of the greatest eras in the annals of college football. Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback Danny Wuerffel, now retired from the NFL, has finally had the time to look back, reminisce, and share his thoughts about that magical time when he was referred to by some "as the greatest passer to ever play college football." Wuerffel gives his many fans a first-time reflection into a variety of topics, including his relationship with Steve Spurrier, his rivalry with Peyton Manning, and how his strong Christian beliefs shaped his football career. Along with award-winning sports columnist and coauthor Mike Bianchi, he replays the big games from each of his four magnificent seasons, talks about the quarterback controversies and quandaries, discusses faith and football, compares Spurrier and Bobby Bowden, and takes readers on a glorious trip that starts with a recruiting visit to Gainesville and culminates with an incredible national championship victory over Florida State in New Orleans. Danny Wuerffel's Tales from the Gator Swamp will take readers on a delightful journey back to the "good old days" of the 1990s, when Spurrier's funning and gunning and cunning style of offense revolutionized the Southeastern Conference. After reading this book, fans will understand why Danny Wuerffel collected as much admiration and as many accolades as perhaps any player in the proud history of college football.

Languages : en
Pages : 132
Book Description
The University of Florida, the state's oldest and largest university, is recognized today as one of the country's most academically diverse public institutions. Though able to trace its history to 1853, the school did not begin its popular football program until the first few years of the 20th century. The program has had its share of scandals and embarrassments over time, but it has also produced two Heisman Trophy winners, a national champion, numerous players drafted into the professional ranks, and a visibility that consistently ranks the team in the top five in the country. Now attracting 85,000 fans to each of its home games, the Gators' football program has become a vital part of the University of Florida. When the team won the national championship in 1996, no one could have predicted such success just 90 years earlier. Fortunately, that fascinating journey through the last century has been captured in great photographs that include formal portraits of teams; action shots on the field; views of "The Swamp"; and snapshots of fans from every decade. These images tell the story of the birth and growth of a football team, a team that has brought enjoyment to millions and national recognition to the University of Florida.

The Architect
Author: William David
Publisher: Strategic Book Publishing & Rights Agency
ISBN: 1631355791
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 312
Book Description
If you enjoy art and architecture, you may be surprised to discover a distinct similarity between a great work of art and a magnificent building, as well as to that of a wonderful, fulfilling long-term relationship between a man and a woman. Although, you will learn, if you are not already aware, you cannot rely on luck alone to achieve happiness in marriage. The art of choosing a mate requires as much forethought as designing a building or creating an oil painting. The Architect: Time Out of Mind will help you know whether a person you date is worth pursuing after two dates or less. Perhaps, during your next first date with someone new of interest, you will want to ask a few specific and relevant personal questions. After considering the answers thoroughly, you now have more information to decide whether your date is worth pursuing. After dating awhile and before bonding or considering a long-term commitment, shouldn’t you also have a clear understanding of your special person’s relational “needs,” beginning perhaps as early as the end of the first date? You will find the answer to that question and many others you may have never thought to ask, in this captivating novel about two young people, Ed Decker and Camilla Holmes. Their story spans forty years, beginning in the late 1950s and how their early “boy-girl” relationship influenced their lives.

Why the U.S. Men Will Never Win the World Cup
Author: Beau Dure
Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN: 1538127822
Category : Sports & Recreation
Languages : en
Pages : 247
Book Description
October 10, 2017. The U.S. men’s soccer team loses in Trinidad and Tobago, and fails to qualify for the 2018 World Cup. Winning soccer’s greatest prize never seemed more distant. Immediate fixes—a new coach, a revamped professional league, a commitment to coaching education—won’t put the USA in the global elite. The nation is too fractious, too litigious, too wrapped up in other sports, and too late to the game. In Why the U.S. Men Will Never Win the World Cup: A Historical and Cultural Reality Check, Beau Dure shows what American soccer is really up against. Using hundreds of sources to trace more than 100 years of history, Dure delves into the culture that only recently lost its disdain for the global game and still doesn’t have the depth of soccer insight and passion that much of the world has had for generations. The difficulty isn’t any single thing—the mismanagement of failed leagues, the inability to agree on a path forward, the lawsuits that stem from an inability to agree, or the unique American culture that treasures its homegrown sports. It’s everything. And yet, Why the U.S. Men Will Never Win the World Cup is ultimately optimistic. Dure argues that with the right long-term changes, the U.S. can build a soccer environment that consistently produces quality players, strong results, and a lot more fun on the international stage. Soccer fans and skeptics alike will find this a fascinating examination of America’s past, present, and future in the beautiful game.
