Book excerpt: Fancy Gap, Virginia, a postage-stamp town up in the cool air of the Blue Ridge escarpment, is only three hundred miles from the Ridley Circle Homes of Newport News, Virginia. Sociologically, they are worlds apart. Frank Beamer, born 1946, grew up in Fancy Gap, an all-white hamlet where good folk attended church and high school football games, and the Mountain Top Motel was the closest thing to nightlife. The tranquil town represented an idyllic imagining of the American past represents that still, today. Many people wish they could live in an idyllic version of the American past. Beamer did. Michael Vick, born 1980, grew up in Ridley Circle Homes, a nearly all-black housing project where no one would wish to live. Ranks of town houses were squeezed between an eight-lane freeway and Langley Air Force Base. Military jets passing overhead regularly made windows in the Ridley Circle Homes shake. Garbage blew across the brown dirt spaces between the structures there were no lawns, no shrubs. Benzene fumes from a nearby petroleum tank farm could make the air sting the nostrils. The general area was known to residents not as Newport News but as Bad News. In the Ridley Circle Homes, gunshots were common. Sometimes when there was a gunfight, mugging or rape, no one called the police, knowing gangs would retaliate after the officers departed. The crime-ridden Cabrini-Green project in Chicago had long been cited as the most inhumane public housing in the United States. Ridley Circle Homes was every bit as bad it just didn't get as much press.

Download or read book The Buff and Blue written by Ralph Gray and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-10-26 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For many years, the George Washington University football players were out-manned and out-gunned on the gridiron. They did not have the best equipment or facilities; and never had a stadium they could call their own. In spite of that, the Buffmen played with heart; and fought to the final whistle of every game, supplied with the energy and enthusiasm of the student body and their coaches. They took on the likes of Iowa, Maryland, Alabama, Tennessee, and many superior football programs; and although they had some great teams, the Colonials fell short of a .500 overall winning percentage. This book is about those young men, their mentors, and the football games that were played from 1881 until the sport was ultimately dropped from the University athletic program in 1966.

Download or read book Third Down and a War to Go written by Terry Frei and published by Wisconsin Historical Society. This book was released on 2012-08-22 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On December 11, 1941, All-American football player Dave Schreiner wrote to his parents, "I'm not going to sit here snug as a bug, playing football, when others are giving their lives for their country. ... If everyone tried to stay out of it, what a fine country we'd have!" Schreiner didn't stay out of it. Neither did his Wisconsin Badger teammates, including friend and co-captain Mark "Had" Hoskins and standouts "Crazylegs" Hirsch and Pat Harder. After that legendary 1942 season, the Badgers scattered to serve, fight, and even die around the world. This fully revised edition of the popular hardcover includes follow-up research and updates about many of the '42 Badgers, plus a new foreword by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and author David Maraniss. Readers and reviewers agree: Terry Frei's heart-wrenching story of Schreiner and his band of brothers is much more than one team's tale. It's an All-American story.

Download or read book The Real All Americans written by Sally Jenkins and published by Anchor. This book was released on 2007-05-08 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sally Jenkins, bestselling co-author of It's Not About the Bike, revives a forgotten piece of history in The Real All Americans. In doing so, she has crafted a truly inspirational story about a Native American football team that is as much about football as Lance Armstrong's book was about a bike. If you’d guess that Yale or Harvard ruled the college gridiron in 1911 and 1912, you’d be wrong. The most popular team belonged to an institution called the Carlisle Indian Industrial School. Its story begins with Lt. Col. Richard Henry Pratt, a fierce abolitionist who believed that Native Americans deserved a place in American society. In 1879, Pratt made a treacherous journey to the Dakota Territory to recruit Carlisle’s first students. Years later, three students approached Pratt with the notion of forming a football team. Pratt liked the idea, and in less than twenty years the Carlisle football team was defeating their Ivy League opponents and in the process changing the way the game was played. Sally Jenkins gives this story of unlikely champions a breathtaking immediacy. We see the legendary Jim Thorpe kicking a winning field goal, watch an injured Dwight D. Eisenhower limping off the field, and follow the glorious rise of Coach Glenn “Pop” Warner as well as his unexpected fall from grace. The Real All Americans is about the end of a culture and the birth of a game that has thrilled Americans for generations. It is an inspiring reminder of the extraordinary things that can be achieved when we set aside our differences and embrace a common purpose.
