    Summary note
    "Tells the story of how, in 1947, thirty-one-year-old Bud Wilkinson was named head coach of the University of Oklahoma's football program and led the team on its meteoric rise from mediocrity to its present status as a perennial powerhouse. Includes vignettes of Wilkinson's closest coaching friends (Royal, Bryant, Leahy, Sanders, Blaik, Tatum) and serves as an authoritative and entertaining history of the sport that will appeal to all college football fans.
