Sports is a great place for a writer to shine, and many, including Hemingway, have done so.

I love his sprts books

 

The Old Man and the Option

A Farewell to the Running Game

For Whom the Whistle Blows

 

Any others I've missed?

yes, you missed some of the most important, not included his stories in the Kansas City Star.

 

The Big Red Also Rises.

 

Football in the Afternoon.

 

The Scrimmages of Spring.

 

Men Without Football.

I voted for appearance. Shades of Groucho Marx!!!

 

The fact he doesn't come off as a huge Husker backer, make him more appealing to me. No one in the region covers the big XII like he does. Go to any conf. school area and you will catch my drift when you pick up their local papers. Don't sugacoat my Huskers. If they stink it up say so. If they look like worldbeaters say that too. I think thats what he does. No he isn't right all the time when stating opinions, no writer is. At least he will say so when it warrants it and he holds nothing back. That I respect.

i still think he's a douche. Yeah it's one thing to be a straight shooter or whatever (and i have no problem with that, trust me i like that) but repeatedly writing mindless dribble, and tearing down the 'skers all the time gets old after a while.

It's not as if the guy is thoughtful, has solid takes, or anything else.

 

He's just against the Huskers no matter what.
