Urlacher combined his brute force, agility, and speed to lead the Lovington High School Wild Cats to a 14-0 season. Although Urlacher was partial to attending Texas Tech University, his dreams were cut short after the university did not offer him a much needed scholarship. The only two Division I schools that expressed genuine interest in him were the University of New Mexico and New Mexico State. He ultimately chose to attend the University of New Mexico. Urlacher did not get a lot of playing time as a freshman in 1996, as head coach Dennis Franchione's rebuilding plan for the team relied heavily on upperclassmen.

Are you one of those people who wear an "Urlacher 54" football jersey?Goooooooo, BEARS!
Brian Urlacher wasn't born with a silver spoon in his mouth by any means.When he was young, his parents divorced and his mother, Lavoyda,was forced to work three jobs in order to support the family.Later when she remarried, they were still living, according to Brian's best friend, Brandon, from "paycheck to paycheck."Whatever his life circumstances were when he was young, Brian learned to be a tough, hardworking football player.If he got slammed on the field he got up and was ready to roll again.He was never one to wear jewelry, dance around the field or trash-talk.He is a man who does his job!

When Brian was high school, his determination was evident even then.He wasn't a big guy.In fact he was only 5'9" tall and weighed in at 160 pounds.He worked and trained hard, bulked up to fighting weight and by the time he was a senior in 1995 he "was a scoring machine."All his hard work eventually paid off because he ended up being "one of the most popular Bears' players ever."In this book you'll see him in action, learn about his high school days at Lovington, his days on the University of New Mexico team, his "special position" there, how he is and was a total team player, how he became NFL Defensive Rookie of the year (2000), his "game," and much more.

This is a very nice introductory book not only about Brian Urlacher, but also the game of football.The opening chapter is action oriented and leads the reader through an actual game.Football terminology is introduced and words such as punt, kickoff and running back are highlighted in purple and are included in the glossary.This is an enthusiastic portrait of a man who "hustles when he is supposed to," works hard and is a role model to young and old alike. In the back of the book are "Selected Career Highlights," an index, a glossary and additional recommended book and website resources.

Tales from the Duke Blue Devils Hardwood
I just finished Jim Sumner's book. It's called "Tales From The Duke Blue Devils
Hardwood". It's a great read and nearly impossible to put down. The Book Chronicles Duke Basketball history beginning with Wilbur "Cap " Card a Trinity College graduate from 1902 who returned to introduce basketball at Trinity in 1906 and culminates with the Blue Devils 15th ACC title in 2005.
The majority of the book was taken from interviews from the likes of Mark Alarie,Tate Armstrong, Gene Banks, Joe Belmont,Vic Bubas, Tom Butters, Johnny Dawkins,Randy Denton,Danny Ferry, Mike Gminski,Bernie Janicki,Jack Marin,Dan Meagher,Gary Melchionni, Jim Spanarkel and Robby West to name a few.
