Synopses & Reviews
Michigan is the winningest football program in Division I college
football history, but that is just the starting point for the
Wolverines' storied tradition. It is about innovative men with vision,
about special players able to elevate their play and that of their
teammates, about teams that rose to the challenge when all the odds
appeared stacked against them. Jim Cnockaert, who has covered the
Michigan football program since 1990, examines that tradition, including
taking a look at the three head coaches who most define it, the three
Heisman Trophy winners who made the nation take special notice of the
Wolverines, and teams such as Fielding Yost's 1901, Fritz Crisler's 1947
and Bo Schembechler's 1969 squads that stamped the Wolverines as "the
leaders and best."
