"Jarecke's photography goes beyond the standard game day sports photography and gives us an entire season of images that transcend the action on the field... I've concluded that Jarecke's photography books may be the most important Nebraska football books available today because they not only capture the games, but the world that surrounds them. Their true value will not be realized for years to come, which is why this review is still relevant and the idea that you'd buy a book that came out a while back is too." -- Jon Johnston, Corn Nation More than 275 images by veteran photojournalist Kenneth Jarecke: a definitive look at the Husker's final season in the Big 12 Conference. This hardcover book is a heirloom item meant to be shared and treasured by Nebraska football fans for generations to come. Printed in a limited edition of only 5000 copies.

Excellent book for sports fans

By Pat Downs on December 19, 2011

Format: Hardcover

This is a great book by world-renowned photojournalist Ken Jarecke, a Nebraska lad himself. It's a wonderful keepsake of the Cornhuskers in their last season in their previous conference. Not only are the action and detail photos great, but Ken has an exquisite eye for those "in between" and "quiet" moments that many fans miss, or don't have the opportunity to even see. I think any Husker fan would treasure this book, and it would become a family heirloom. It records the end of a chapter in Husker history that people will want to have in their library. Highly recommended.

A Piece of History; a Work of Art

By kayakrm on December 28, 2011

Format: Hardcover

2010 was a historic year for Nebraska football; never before has the program's move from one conference to another (a rare event in itself) been formally documented. Husker Game Day 2010 - Farewell Big 12 is a loving look at the drama, pageantry and action of this transitional season through the photos and words of photojournalist, Ken Jarecke.

This wonderful book transcends its subject, Nebraska football and connects with the reader on a number of levels. From a photographic standpoint, Ken Jarecke has created a book that can be appreciated by anyone from a purely artistic standpoint; these photos are vibrant, beautifully realized pictures capturing the action of the game and the singular event that is college football.
Jarecke is one of the finest photojournalists working today and his creative "eye", craft and professional intuition are on display throughout this heirloom-quality book. Sports fans and certainly all football fans even if not followers of the University of Nebraska athletics will be enthralled by the photos and written insights delivered in this book.

From a historical perspective it captures a moment in time when the very foundations of college athletics are in transition: old rivalries are dying and new alliances are being formed on what seems like a daily basis. I suspect that the importance of this book will only be fully realized with the passage of time. This truly is a book that can connect generations with remembrances of a historic season of exhilarating highs and painful lows rekindled through the magic of these wonderful images. As a Nebraskan, I am very proud to own this book and the fact that it was designed, printed and bound in Nebraska makes it even more of a treasure that I, my children and their children to come will thoroughly enjoy for years.

Great photography

By AmA on June 21, 2012

Format: Hardcover

Ken Jarecke is one of the premier photojournalists of our time. He has travelled the world to document history, but has never turned his back on his own country as a subject: he makes heartfelt, passionate pictures of the United States as well. His pictures have the utmost integrity, elegance, and humor. Ava.

Part of our Husker collection that will be passed down through generationos

By Ivy Davis on February 22, 2012

Format: Hardcover

I bought this book for my husband's birthday, and he loves it. His "man cave" is devoted to Husker football even to the point that he said our wedding album couldn't be on display in there..."it doesn't have anything Husker in it." The photographs in this book tell stories of fans, players, coaches, and even opposing teams. The book itself is of good quality and will last through many generations of Husker fans perusing the pages and reliving our last year with the Big 12. And I appreciate that the book was created by a Husker, in Nebraska: "designed, printed and bound in Nebraska, not overseas. It's also licensed by the university, which means 10% of the retail price goes back to the athletic department" (K. Jarecke, author). As I understand, this will be the ONLY printing of this book. I highly recommend it!

By stephen ferry on January 30, 2012

Format: Hardcover

Ken Jarecke is an excellent photographer, who has made iconic pictures from historical events world-wide. Yet, he has always excelled at documenting America, as in this book. I highly recommend it.

Photojournalism at best

By Y. Kim on January 7, 2012

Format: Hardcover

This is a great book for anyone who loves football, not just for Huskers fans, but all football fans. It's visual story telling, a day in life of a team through Ken Jarecke eyes. Its photojournalism at best to document a team's season and put it in a book.

Wonderful Photojournalism !

By Scott Goldsmith on January 6, 2012

Format: Hardcover

This is far more than a "sports book" It is an intimate look at the extensive family of people that make a football game possible. In this case a whole season of games. Watching the Nebraska coach praying in a private corner outside the locker room before the game is one of many photos that gives the viewer a sense of being at the game AND being being "back stage" at the same time. Renowned photojournalist Kenneth Jarecke also showcases some of the best sports action photography I have seen. Stunning moments on the field. The historical aspect of this book should also be mentioned. It is the last season the storied Nebraska team played in the big 12 before entering the Big 10. This book is a "must have" for all Nebraska fans an anyone who loves football amd great photography. These photographs are simply amazing!Husker Game Day 2010 - Farewell Big Twelve ("Husker Game Day", 2010)

David

By David Bentz on January 6, 2012

Format: Hardcover

If you want a unique pictographic retrospection of last year's season, look no further. Kenneth Jarecke's documentation of the Huskers is unmatched. The images away from the action often amuse and enlighten. From the action shots, you'll find many up close details not elicited in other day-to-day images of our boys on the gridiron. It's truly hard for me to decide which images I like best. Kenneth has done an excellent job of really capturing the essence of each game and of Husker Football in general.

I for one hope that the Kenneth turns this into a season-by-season series. I've already enjoyed immensely the images and the idea that I own a limited edition that will surely be a collectible.
