A nice book... but there are better ND books
I bought this book expecting more, but I am a bit disappointed. It does a good job of individual player bios, but if you want a more comprehensive encyclopedia, pick up the Notre Dame media guide published by the university. That book has over 480 pages all on ND history and has all time records.
The perfect Notre Dame football reference book
If you knew a starting football player, wanted to check a reference to an alumnus, or argued about how the Irish faired against former powers like Haskell, Carnegie Tech, and Great Lakes Academy, this is the book for you. The authors assembled biographies of Notre Dame players and coaches, including past heroes such as Frank Carideo (2 national titles as quarterback and kicker), Frank Tripucka (a football star before his son played basketball), and Marchy Schwartz (the second best running back Rockne ever coached).Scores, records, and titles from the dawn of Notre Dame football to the recent past follow the personal entries, including individual awards, All-American honors, bowl appearances, and records against opponents. Other interesting notes include lists of leaders in every player performance category and the names of all the Irish who went on to play professional football. This comprehensive guide to Notre Dame football is authoritative and fascinating and makes a perfect companion to other books or accounts of great games.
Everything You Ever Needed To Know About ND Football
This book exceeded my expectations and is a valuable part of my Notre Dame library. The book is comprehensive and written in a lively manner. If you want to know anything about the Irish, this is the place to get it. I have been a fan my whole life and learned many interesting facts.
