From the Publisher:
When Bill Snyder arrived as head football coach at Kansas State University prior to the 1989 season, he inherited the worst NCAA Division I football program on planet Earth. In 93 previous seasons, the Wildcat football record was a miserable 299-510-40.The program had earned exactly one league title, that coming in 1934, well before Snyder was born. In the years just prior toSnyder's arrival, the Wildcats had slumped to their worst, even by K-State standards.The program had lost 13 games in a row, and except for one tie, and had not rung the victory bell in 27 games. Seventeen years later, Snyder 's orchestration of the greatest turnaround in college football history defines the American dream of achieving the unimaginable.

It's A Fact!
Barry White was the arranger of 'Harlem Shuffle' by Bob & Earl...not strictly a sporting fact, but an interesting one nonetheless!
