When autumn comes to the Great Plains, Lincoln is the place to be, as the mighty Cornhuskers of Nebraska mount their annual bid for a national championship. This book chronicles the colorful Cornhusker history on the gridiron--from their early days when they were nicknamed the "Bugeaters" to the more recent football dynasty of coach Tom Osborne, who won three national championships in his last four seasons. In between, there are all sorts of characters, such as "Trainwreck," "Mr. Touchdown," "Sweet Old Bob" (Devaney), the infamous "Black Shirt" defenses, and an amazing string of walk-ons, many of whom seemingly came from nowhere and went on to national fame.

Written by Babcock and his longtime friend Rick Larsen, the credo hung on Team Canada's dressing-room wall during their historic run to Olympic gold. It provides a compelling framework for excelling in life. Illuminated by revealing stories about overcoming doubt, "owning pressure," and making a difference, "Leave No Doubt" is based on a firm belief in everyday commitment and a step by step approach to being "better than good enough." The words originally written for Canada's Olympic gold medal hockey team - leave no doubt, every day counts, our determination will define us - inspire an approach to succeeding in life that is relevant to people of all interests and ambitions. Athlete or not, each of us will find valuable guidance in this succinct primer from one of the most respected leaders in sports.
