June Jones book

Postby ALEX LIFESON » Wed Mar 26, 2008 1:19 pm

Just finished it, and it was one of those books, you hate to see come to an end. Should be mandatory reading for the whole team, and our fans. Very inspiring, with some great human interest stories. SMU is very blessed to have June Jones on the Hilltop!

I agree.

I finished it last week, and I came away with a far greater appreciation and understanding of the Jones Method...both on and off the field.

It's a fun read that tries to explain June Jones and his thinking...why he gives second chances at the same time talking about the guys he's kicked off his teams - guys that are given multiple chances who continue to be detrimental to the team.

Some great stories about Jeff George, Warren Moon, Barry Sanders, etc. I talked briefly with Jones about the book at his book signing, he said the author came to him with the concept but Jones thought the whole book idea was goofy but was talked into the idea by the author and ended up liking it...
