off-beat, subversive <i>anti-</i>sports novel—with an unlikely heroine—that
satirizes the lofty place of athletics on American college campuses. At Coors
State University, two old history professors decide to take their beloved
school back, and stage campus protests, 1960s style. If all of this seems timely and important,
well, maybe it is. My hope is that you
might preorder…or spread the word on social media. October is the release date.
Thanks so much…. </span></p>
