New Book on SMU Death Penalty

[dbone]

I played on the 1987 Death Penalty Team and just finished a book on what happened from the player's perspective.

eBook has been out for two weeks and physical book just went live today. I think most will be surprised at my revelations.

i remember reading "A Payroll to Meet" & it was full of inaccuracies & downright lies. The author was a jerk & everything else. I don't even think I finished the $%#@ thing.

As long as it's the 'truth' - it'll sell. Definitely will buy it when the book is released.

Go get this book.

Does it mention the Trans A&M?

[gostangs]

Hey - its a fan board where people give their opinion. And in my opinion there is nothing more to say about this subject that has not been said, it is time to look through the windshield instead of the rearview mirror, it is just flat out boring to discuss this any further, and is ancient history.

Thads 30/30 was a detailed look that was interesting. Case closed. We need to quit wallowing in this and move on.

I love Thad, but his version of the story was slanted to sell a film. Yes, it had the feel good ending, but it was slanted and caricatured those involved. Good to get a different view of the situation.

gostangs I thought it was a little harsh to be so abrupt, especially since it was the author posting on here for the first time and its a labor of love from him AND he is a fellow Mustang. I downloaded it and will read it.....should be an interesting viewpoint. Its just a view from him about that time and its not 'wallowing in it'.....lighten up Francis.

i'll give it a read.

i guess gostangs doesn't like new things.

...like beating pharts out of a dead mule.

[PonyFan]

If it's written by a player from that era, I'll be interested to read it.

Good luck with the book, dbone.
