Hello Loyal Readers!
Hello Loyal Readers!
We’re back for the fall – in full force!
And, in addition to the upcoming book, Three and Our: Rich Rodriguez and the Michigan Wolverines in the Crucible of College Football, I have some more news: A new website host, starting next week!
We’ll tell you how to jump over to it in a few days. It will have more features, more color, and more ways to interact. It might also allow me to make a living doing this. (Novel concept, I know.)
We’ll keep you posted. In the meantime, George Will reviewed the new book:
“When, several millennia from now, archeologists excavate American ruins as archeologists have done those of Carthage, they may be mystified by the Big House in Ann Arbor, Michigan. How did this 109,901 seat football emporium come to be connected to an institution of higher education? Or was the connection the other way? Without waiting 2,000 years, readers can join John U. Bacon on his eye-opening, and occasionally jaw-dropping, report on the weird world of college football.”
You can PRE-ORDER the new book by calling Nicola’s Books in Ann Arbor:
Nicola’s Books
or by ordering from amazon.com.
See you in a week – and as always, THANK YOU!
-John
Hey Bacon,
Is there any timeline as to when the new book is going to be shipped and available?

Yes! It will be on ALL store bookshelves by October 25, and sent out by amazon.com on the same day, though some stores will likely get it a bit sooner.
Get yours now -- or join the Communist Party. Your call.

just hope they realize it was the Michigan Stadium and not a prison which Big House indicates

Insofar as there are very few open air prisons providing just a seat for over 100,000 inmates, I'm optimistic they'll make the distinction. Further, the name Big House isn't anywhere on it.
Think it's safe!

Douhh!! Bad spot for a typo, Bakes. What's the title of that book again?

So I read your comment, and think, "Typo? What typo?" Then I go back and read the message -- and yes, I went "D'oh!"
To clarify, it is in fact, "Three and Out."
I promise the cover is spelled correctly. Honest.

Really looking forward to the book. Wouldn't it be refreshing if folks understood and appreciated what an unbiased journalist does? Keep up the good work John.
