The Rise of Gridiron University
The quarterback sends his wide receiver deep. The crowd gasps as he launches the ball. And when he hits his man, the team's fans roar with approval-especially those with the deep pockets. Make no mistake; college football is big business, played with one eye on the score, the other on the bottom line. But was this always the case? Brian M. Ingrassia here offers the most incisive account to date of the origins of college football, tracing the sport's evolution from a gentlemen's pastime to a multi-million dollar enterprise that made athletics a permanent fixture on our nation's campuses and cemented college football's place in American culture.

The Big House
University of Michigan Head Football Coach, Lloyd H. Carr sums it up best, If you have an interest in the history of college football and especially University of Michigan Football, Dr. Robert Soderstrom has written a well-researched story about Fielding H. Yost, college football in the 1920's and the building of Michigan stadium. I love this book and think you will too. The book spans the years 1922-1927, the period in which Yost conceived and saw through the building of Michigan stadium, while serving as a successful coach. The 368-page, hard cover, begins with the season of 1922 that laid the cornerstone and concludes with the stadium dedication game in 1927 that pit Michigan against its infamous rival, Ohio State. With consideration for historical context, Soderstrom covers the issues facing Mr. Yost including persuading the Michigan Board of Regents to support a new stadium. There are newspaper excerpts, quotes from Yost's files, and photos from the Bentley Historical Library.

I Love Michigan/I Hate Ohio State
Presented in a unique reversible-book format, this is the ultimate University of Michigan fan guide to the passionate and historic rivalry between the Ohio State Buckeyes and the Wolverines. Full of interesting trivia, hilarious history, and inside scoops, the book relates the fantastic stories of legendary Wolverines coaches and star players, as well as the numerous villains and their even worse fans who have represented the scarlet and gray over the years. Like two books in one, this completely biased account of the rivalry proclaims the irrefutable reasons to cheer the Michigan Wolverines and boo the Ohio State Buckeyes and shows that there really is no fine line between love and hate.
