About the author

Michael Atchison is the author of the novels Mellow Submarine and XL and the book True Sons: A Century of Missouri Tigers Basketball. His writing on collegiate sports and popular culture has appeared in Sports Illustrated, Basketball Times and The Providence Phoenix, among other publications.

During his previous career practicing law, Michael helped earn freedom for a man wrongly convicted of murder, aided basketball coaches who ran afoul of NCAA rules, and once stood in his office, stripped to the waist, and swapped clothes with veteran rocker Sammy Hagar. The other ninety-nine percent of the time he did things that some might think tedious.

Michael lives in Parkville, Missouri with his wife and two children.

Reviews

A fun book for Mizzou fans. Having a small inside role with the program in the late 80’s, I don’t find some of his stories from that range as I remember. Finally, got it read too after 12 years on my shelf.
