Book Reviews of 12-0: An Insider's Account of Ohio State's 2006 Championship Season
Book Review: No, this is not an oops.
Summary: 4 Stars
Contrary to another reviewer's assertion, this book is not an "oops," nor is it "less relevant" because OSU went on to lose the title game to Florida. Such thinking ignores what an extraordinary feat (strength, discipline, fortitude) it is for any team to even make it to an NCAA national championship game, let alone to go into that game undefeated after a grueling Big Ten and out-of-conference schedule (including a win over a top-ranked University of Texas team). The fact that OSU has made it to three national championship games in six years, two national championship games in a row, and walked away with a victory over a seemingly unbeatable University of Miami team in 2002 is a testament to the fundamental relevance of the ideals espoused by the OSU coaching staff and embodied by the OSU players.
Summary of 12-0: An Insider's Account of Ohio State's 2006 Championship Season
The battle cry from day one for the 2006 Ohio State Buckeyes has been "Just One Agenda". Individual goals and outside distractions were checked at the door at the first team meeting. In their place, Coach Jim Tressel instilled a culture of team accomplishment that took root immediately and has grown with each week of the Buckeyes' grueling Big Ten season. The reward has been a perfect 12-0 record, culminating with a dramatic, historic victory over Michigan on November 18, and resulting in a berth in the BCS national title game. This insider's account of one of the greatest seasons in college football history goes behind the scenes to describe to fans what it takes to make a champion.College & University Books
