Woody Hayes, the legendary archconservative coach of Ohio State, feared for the future of America. His protégé and rival, Bo Schembechler of the University of Michigan, didn't want to be bothered by these \"distractions.\" Hayes worshipped General George S. Patton and was friends with President Richard Nixon. Schembechler befriended President Gerald Ford, a former captain and team MVP for the Wolverines. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In this enthralling book, Michael Rosenberg dramatically weaves the upheaval into the story of Hayes and Schembechler.
