5.0 out of 5 stars
Great Book for Mizzou Sports Fans,
By D. O'Brien (St. Louis, MO) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Tales from the Missouri Tigers (Hardcover)
Because the author took the time to talk with dozens of Missouri players and most of the living coaches, Tales from the Missouri Tigers captures a ton of great moments in the school's sports history.
I liked that it gave me a "behind-the-scenes" look at many of my favorite Mizzou games and accomplishments, especially what the players and coaches were experiencing. As a relativly new Tigers fan (since the early 1990's) I was also very interested in the stories from as far back as the 1940's and 50's -- I especially enjoyed reading about Missouri Football's golden age in the 1960's -- something I had heard mentioned now and again, but never knew the details. The author deserves a lot of credit for tracking down so many players and coaches from this era and earlier! Overall, the author did a great job at providing a lot of history in an enjoyable, easy-to-read way. The book made me a more appreciative fan and I learned some great facts about my school's sports heritate.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent read,

I give this a solid 5 stars. The author clearly has a very thorough understanding of MU's college athletic history.
