Don't trust anyone over 30. Nixon was "not a crook" - or so he claimed. At the other end of the spectrum was the intense rivalry between Woody Hayes, the legendary Ohio State football coach, and his nemesis, Bo Schembechler from Michigan. To them, the American heartland was still "pure and sacred," and they were totally in command of their football troops. Hayes idolized General Patton, the great American war hero. Schembechler idolized President Ford, a former All-American football player from Michigan. Michael Rosenberg sets the stage brilliantly for this coming clash of cultural differences, as Hayes and Schembechler try desperately to win a national football championship while coping with a shifting political landscape. It all leads to a climatic, and in part tragic, downfall of an important era gone by. This is far more than a sports story. This is an American coming of age story, as experienced by two of the most successful coaches of our time. Rosenberg's extensive research and interviews perfectly captures what life was truly like on two major college campuses during this remarkable time. 3393055 10 9 2008 War As They Knew It: Woody Hayes, Bo Schembechler, and America in a Time of Unrest total:52|5:23|4:21|3:8|2:0|1:0| 52 223 79 25 3 1 false false Tue May 20 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sat Jun 07 14:10:35 -0700 2008 Sat Jun 07 14:18:14 -0700 2008 more...]]> 4 0 false false Tue Oct 20 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed Oct 21 09:18:37 -0700 2009 Wed Oct 21 09:19:28 -0700 2009
