Here's a book that takes readers behind the scenes for some of the greatest moments in University of Michigan football history. From "Kip" Taylor, who scored the first touchdown at Michigan Stadium in the late 1920s, to Lloyd Carr, the Wolverines' current head coach, Michigan fans will be offered details of the stories they've heard about for years...and some that they have never heard. Players who knew Yost, Oosterbaan, Crisler, Elliott, and Schembechler tell their stories in Tales from Michigan Stadium about practice, famous plays, and games from one of the most tradition-rich football programs in collegiate history.

About the Author
Jim Brandstatter played three varsity seasons as an offensive tackle for Michigan, which resulted in two Big Ten championships and two Rose Bowl appearances. He graduated in 1972 and started a career in radio and television broadcasting. In 1980 he was named co-host of Michigan Replay, the Wolverines coach's show, where he was reunited with former coach Bo Schembechler. Later in the decade he began work as a color analyst on the statewide Michigan football radio network broadcasts, which he continues doing today. He is also in his 26th year as the host of Michigan Replay. Brandstatter is married to WXYZ-TV news anchor Robbie Timmons and they spend their free time at their home in Commerce Township.

If you just want to sit down and enjoy an easy, fun book to read, get this book. You can sit down at one reading and finish it, or pick it up and put it down a number of times and enjoy it.The individuals who tell the stories are people who have lived Michigan football. While the real Wolverine fan will love it, all college football fans will enjoy it.

Michigan football as you've never known it,
By A Customer
This review is from: Tales from Michigan Stadium (Hardcover)
These are the stories that were never in the newspaper..some things players or coaches didn't even know! The reader feels like he/she is sitting around with 50 Michigan football players and coaches listening to one story after another.. with the next story funnier or more "secret" than the last. The reader feels like they're reading the secret diaries or journals of people in Michigan football they've only seen on the field or on TV, or read about. Now each one is telling me something that no one else knew.
