"Herbstreit ... take[s] you inside the locker rooms, to the practice fields, to the meeting rooms, to the stadiums ... [and] describe[s] how a combination of hard work, perseverance, and a little luck landed him on the set of ESPN's iconic College GameDay show, surrounded by tens of thousands of fans who treat their Saturdays like a football Mardi Gras ... Kirk Herbstreit is the undeniable face and voice of college football--but he's also a survivor. He's the quiet kid who withstood the collapse of his parents' marriage. The boy who endured too many overbearing stepdads and stepmoms. The painfully shy student who always chose the last desk in the last row of the classroom. The young man who persevered through a frustrating Ohio State playing career. The new college graduate who turned down a lucrative sales job after college to pursue a 'no way you'll make it' dream career in broadcasting"-- Provided by publisher.
