Blackstone Audiobooks, 2001

Loved it! And I'm not an Aggie.
After watching The Junction Boys on ESPN, I knew I had to read this book. Of course the movie barely scratched the surface of the story. Jim Dent does an excellent job of bringing the historical events of Aggie football in the early 50s to life. I'm not a big fan of college football, and know very little about Texas A&M; however, after reading this book I wanted to know more about Paul Bryant and ...

Not Likely to Happen Again...
As a fan of the history of college football I found Dent's book to be a breath of fresh air in a genre that is often peppered with statistics, numbers and facts & figures. Dent goes beyond the numbers to present a living work about the Golden Program of the Golden Era of college football. Many books about the history of a team give just that, a history of the team but overlook the individuals ...

Much better than the movie!
Excellent account of what playing football for Paul Bryant was like when he was possibly at his meanest. Frustrations from dealing with The University Of Kentucky's lack of support for their winning football program (which Bryant was responsible for) and the job of turning Texas A&M around at that time would have made ANYBODY a little edgy I think!! If you love football you will love this ...

You're Out and You're Ugly Too!: Confessions of an Umpire With Attitude

Durwood Merrill, Jim Dent

DH Audio, 1998

Some very funny stories, and some that are serious, too.
When I first bought this book, I wasn't quite sure what to think. I had heard a few negative things about it, and kind of had a prejudice against it. Boy, was that wrong! I found this to be a very funny, lighthearted read (for the most part). There's some really wonderful insights into what it takes to become a big league umpire - never quite realized all they went through in "Umpire boot camp" ...

Monster of the Midway: Bronko Nagurski, the 1943 Chicago Bears, and the Greatest Comeback Ever

When Football Players Were Toughest
Jim Dent tells the story of Bronko Nagurski's football career. "Monster of the Midway: Bronko Nagurski, the 1943 Chicago Bears, and the Greatest Comeback Ever" is not a biography. It is about a football player and why he became among the greatest players ever, with special emphasis on one season (1943). Dent, however, can't help but to provide the background of Nagurski's early life. Bronko ...

Great book - I am in it!!
Jim Dent spent many years studying Jerry Jones and what he is about as a human, team owner and businessman. I personally was featured in this book after I attempted to interview Jerry. Jim Dent wrote it exactly like it happened!!

Twelve Mighty Orphans

Thomas Dunne Books, 2007

A New Favorite.
Maybe it's because I am from Fort Worth, and I consider myself to be an AMATEUR local historian; however, I just could not put this book down! I read the entire thing in one night, because I couldn't stop. The story is gripping...makes you laugh, makes you cry. This should definately be made into a movie, if it isn't being done already. Occasionally I'll drive by the Masonic Home and ...
