Review Quotes:
Doug Brunk has done it again. Forty Minutes to Glory is a book every Big Blue fan will want to include in their library. It chronicles the great 1978 NCAA Championship team and some of the best players to wear the blue and white. Also, Coach Joe B. Hall finally gets the credit he deserves for the impossible task of replacing Hall of Fame coach Adolph Rupp. Keep them coming, Doug!
