Bob Stoops New Book A Great Read For Iowa Fans

The book explains his rise from undersized football player to National Championship coach at Oklahoma, based on his mentoring from his dad (HS coach), Hayden Fry, Bill Snyder, and Steve Spurrier.

Since this website is based on past videos, I wanted to highlight the games that Bob Stoops mentions in his book that you might find interesting, especially if you read the book.

The book starts at this statue unveiling ceremony at OU, after his retirement.

Here are some key games during his playing days at Iowa (if I have video of the games).

• First win under Coach Fry in 1979
• Iowa upset win over #6 UCLA (1981)
• Iowa upset win over #7 Nebraska (1981)
• Bo Schembechler's first loss to Iowa
• Peach Bowl win over Tennessee (1982)

When he left with Bill Snyder to rebuild Kansas State, here is the first win to end their 31-game losing streak.
