The identity of the University with football is investigated in
this chronicle of Notre Dame's 2004 football season, with its
fans, fanaticism and, of course, its famous firing. The author
looks at the entwining of religion and sport and at the politics
played on and off the field as he serves up in-depth profiles
of University leaders and the devoted fans who congregate to cheer
and jeer, hope and pray.
The book received excellent reviews for being what Publishers
Weekly called "one of the rare football books that will
appeal even to those who've never touched a pigskin."
