Excellent account of the journey of the Oklahoma Sooners and their incredible winning streak in football in the mid 1950's. The characters are developed nicely, and the story covers the coach and the select players as they survived being in Oklahoma during the Dust Bowl and the Great Depression.
The winning "Streak" was also being played in the time of civil rights activities, and thus was an important event in this timetable.
Lots of recognizable names of players and coaches who became legends in their own time.
