Description
"To say that Knute Rockne was the best coach who ever lived might be to understate his importance to football. True, in a mere twelve years his "Fighting Irish" won 105 games, completing five astonishing undefeated seasons. But Rockne was more than the sum of his victories - he was on icon, a legend on a par with Babe Ruth, and a sports giant who, more than anyone, made football an American obsession."--Jacket. "In Rockne of Notre Dame, Ray Robinson delivers a memorable portrait of one of the great figures in American sports. The book gives us colorful descriptions of such Rockne teams as the undefeated 1924 eleven led by the illustrious Four Horsemen, and the 1930 squad, Rockne's last and greatest. Here, too, are vivid accounts of some of the great games in Notre Dame history, including epic battles with arch rivals Army, Nebraska, Carnegie Tech, and USC. But the heart of the book is Rockne himself."--Jacket.
