Bacon found himself with the kind of access unheard of in modern athletics. The result is a remarkable book . . . [If] you are simply a fan of college football, or interested in big-time college athletics more generally, it is a fascinating read.” —The National Review“A fascinating look inside the workings of a major-college football program. Rodriguez’s failure was everyone’s fault and no one’s. Unreasonable expectations combined with bad decisions and bad luck led to three bad seasons. Not acceptable at Michigan. Fine reading for college-football fans.” —ALA Booklist“John U. Bacon’s Three and Out [is] an epic piece of reporting behind the scenes of a college football program going to hell.” —New York Magazine“Rich Rodriguez never had a chance as coach of the Michigan Wolverines. He showed up with a glowing resume and got himself eaten alive. John Bacon’s account of Rodriguez’s epic failure is a cautionary tale for anyone who doesn’t realize that being a major college football coach requires one to be part CEO, part psychologist, part carny barker, and all crazy.” —Charles P. Pierce, author of Moving The Chains: Tom Brady and the Pursuit Of Everything“College basketball has Season on the Brink. High school football has Friday Night Lights. Now college football has Three and Out, which takes you inside the locker room to show you what it’s really like to be a college football coach and player. If it surprised me—and it did—I’m sure it will surprise even hardcore fans. If you care about college football, you’ll want this book.” —Adam Schefter, ESPN“John U. Bacon is one of the best reporters/writers of my generation. Three and Out proves it. It’s one of the most riveting non-fiction works I’ve read in years, in any genre. The eyewitness details from the locker room, the sidelines, and the most powerful offices on a college campus are breathtaking. Get this book. You will thank me.” —David Shuster, Emmy Award-winning broadcast journalist“When, several millennia from now, archeologists excavate American ruins as archeologists have done those of Carthage, they may be mystified by the Big House in Ann Arbor, Michigan. How did this 109,901 seat football emporium come to be connected to an institution of higher education? Or was the connection the other way? Without waiting 2,000 years, readers can join John U. Bacon on his eye-opening, and occasionally jaw-dropping, report on the weird world of college football.” —George F. Will

If you like old photos and rich, documented Route 66 history, including the people, places, and things of that era, THIS IS IT! Camp Cajon, built next to a stream on historic ground in the Cajon Pass, “Gateway to Southern California,” 65 miles east of Los Angeles, and about 20 miles northwest of San Bernardino, was a dream come true. Built in 1919 by William Marion Bristol on the site of the ancient Indian village at the junction of the Spanish and Salt Lake Trails, with Route 66 going right through the middle of it, Camp Cajon became the most famous and talked about rest stop, auto camp and picnic area anywhere along Route 66. It lies buried and almost forgotten today under modern Interstate is northbound, truck scales and McDonalds. William Marion Bristol traveled the local mountains in the mid-1880’s by burro, and later wrote stories of his travels, the habitat, hunters, miners, hermits, and others he met along the trail. Without these written accounts, their names would have been forgotten. All this and more in this first in a series of books, Trails and Tales of the Cajon Pass by John and Sandy Hockaday.
