In 1998, this calculating Belgian and former professional cyclist looked Lance Armstrong in the eye and said, "Look, if we’re going to ride the Tour, we might as well win."

Through thrilling stories of his own racing career and those of the cyclists he has guided during his extraordinary career, Bruyneel reveals the keys to victory both in cycling and in life.

Download or read book I ll Play These written by Bob Markus and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2011-07-19 with total page 585 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Writing in a golden age of sports, Bob Markus, like a Zelig or a Forrest Gump, was present at many of the most famous-or infamous--sports events of that time. He was there for the Franco Harris Immaculate Reception", for the tragic 1972 Munich Olympics and the stunning upset of the United States basketball team by the Russians, with an assist by the game officials, for the over-hyped Bobby Riggs-Billie Jean King tennis match, for the first Muhammad Ali-Joe Frazier heavyweight Championship Fight and several college football so-called games of the century. The athletes he interviewed and wrote about included Ali, Joe Frazier, Michael Jordan, Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer, Roberto Clemente, Mario Andretti and Joe DiMaggio. Here are many of his best columns and stories, interspersed with the story of his own sports writing life. You'll read of the day Ali admitted to him he was afraid each time he stepped in a ring and of the tragic 1973 Indianapolis 500 in which driver Swede Savage, a good friend was killed. And, you'll read about office politics and behind the scenes maneuvering that resulted in one man's journey from ecstasy to angst.

Download or read book The Hemi in the Barn written by Tom Cotter and published by Motorbooks. This book was released on 2012-04-24 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It’s every car lover’s fantasy: the perfectly preserved classic automobile discovered under a blanket in some great-granny’s garage. And as author Tom Cotter has discovered time and again, it’s a fantasy that can come true. The Hemi in the Barn offers more than forty stories of amazing finds and automotive resurrections. Avid collectors big and small recall the thrills of the hunt, the tips and hunches followed, clues pursued, the heart-stopping payoff. There’s the forgotten Duesenberg—probably one of the last unrestored ones around—that Jay Leno found in a Burbank garage. Unbelievably, Leno found another Duesenberg in a parking garage in New York City—a car that was parked in 1933 and never moved. There’s a Plymouth Superbird found buried in a hedge in Alabama. There’s the rescue of the first 1955 Corvette ever built. As entertaining as these tales are, they’re also full of tantalizing hints and suggestions for readers setting off on their own adventures in automotive archaeology.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The work of this institution has only begun.... I want to see this faculty continue to develop in not only teaching ability, but heart power—the ability to lead and inspire.... I want to see the fullest opportunities furnished to students.... I want to see young men and women who will become effective leaders.... I want to see all of these things and more.—John W. Carr, first president of Murray State University, April 1, 1926 When Murray State University was founded shortly after World War I, it was a modest, one-building teachers college with a mandate to prepare better-trained educators for schools in the Jackson Purchase area of western Kentucky. Now Murray State has grown to become a major university with nearly 10,000 students from all over the world. Over the past century, this institution has indelibly shaped the lives of generations of talented young people, some of whom went on to enjoy remarkable careers at NASA, on the Kentucky Supreme Court, in Hollywood, and with the NBA. In The Finest Place We Know, authors Robert L Jackson, Sean J. McLaughlin, and Sarah Marie Owens celebrate the one-hundred-year story of Murray State University by looking back on the people, places, and events that have shaped the institution's history. This comprehensive pictorial history features hundreds of images from the Pogue Special Collections Library as well as stories that explore everything from the school's first student-produced weekly newspaper, The College News, which began publication on June 24, 1927; to the hiring of Ernest T. Brooks, its first Black professor, in 1970; to the appointment of Dr. Kala Stroup, the first woman president of any Kentucky university. This work—equal parts history and celebration—presents an in-depth account of one of Kentucky's prosperous public universities.
