Set in the volatile decade of the 1960s, FSU's Sons of the Sixties: A Case For the Defense provides an insider's peek into the work, sweat, tears, challenges, and joy of being a college athlete at Florida State University. This book is not just a nostalgic trip down college football's memory lane; it is a compilation of gridiron stories about a group of stellar defensive athletes and coaches who helped define a decade of success for the Seminoles of Florida State. The aspiring athletes who came to FSU in the 1960s were the children of the Greatest Generation. These young men came to fulfill their dreams of playing college football and getting an education to honor their parents, who never had such opportunities. While making their case for the defense, co-authors John Crowe and Dale McCullers, two former Seminole teammates, highlight the experiences of 12 FSU Hall of Fame defensive players and Sons of the Sixties. Their individual rise as star athletes and their relationships with their college coaches is woven into a tapestry of intriguing insights while the critical - and often-overlooked - role that defensive football plays in building an elite college football program is explored through the perspective of those who experienced it firsthand. FSU's Sons of the Sixties: A Case for the Defense takes you onto the field and into the lives of the stalwarts of the Seminole gridiron. FSU's Sons of the Sixties is a behind-the-scenes tour college football at 1960's Florida State University. Spotlighting twelve Hall of Fame defensive players who attended FSU at that time, FSU's Sons of the Sixties is filled with engaging anecdotes about hard work, dreams of greatness, the bonds between football players and their coaches, and the often-overlooked yet invaluable-to-victory role that defensive players contribute to the team. A handful of black-and-white photographs illustrate this celebration of 1960's FSU college football.
