Every week from August to January, fans across the Lone Star State—in big cities and small towns from the panhandle to the gulf coast—head to living rooms and stadiums to watch their favorite high school, college, and NFL teams battle on the field. In this engrossing chronicle, DallasCowboys.com writer Nick Eatman illuminates the heart of Texas football, following a high school team (the Plano Wildcats), a college team (the Baylor University Bears), and an NFL team (the Dallas Cowboys) through one turbulent season, blending their stories into a unique, eye-opening account of Lone Star football.
Eatman tells the human stories behind the snaps and looks at the successes and heartbreaks that mark every level of the game. Following each team through the unpredictable injuries, trades, upsets, comebacks, gossip, controversies, and scandals, he captures the current football moment in America and the issues surrounding the game. Ultimately, he reveals the grit, drive, and attitude that bind and inspire these players separated by age, money, and of course talent: an abiding love for the gridiron—and a relentless drive to win.
