This is the Bible of one of the nation’s most prolific and storied college football rivalries. Through first-hand interviews with more than 250 players, coaches, officials and representatives from Oregon State and Oregon, this are 527 pages of history and perspective you’ll get nowhere else. It covers 120 years of Civil War football from the very first meeting in 1894 and provides a thorough history of the evolution of both programs.
For the book, Eggers interviewed every living head coach of both schools from the 1970s through 2014, from Dick Enright to Don Read to Rich Brooks to Mike Bellotti to Chip Kelly to Mark Helfrich at Oregon, from Dave Kragthorpe to Jerry Pettibone to Mike Riley to Dennis Erickson at Oregon State.
Eggers spoke to legends such as Bob Berry, Mel Renfro, John Robinson, Andy Maurer, Bob Newland, Dan Fouts, Ahmad Rashad, Tom Graham, Donny Reynolds, Gary Zimmerman, Nick Aliotti, Chris Miller, Anthony Newman, Bill Musgrave, Mike Walter, Chad Cota, Alex Molden, Akili Smith, Joey Harrington, Keenan Howry, Max Unger and Kenjon Barner from the Oregon side. To Joe Francis, Ted Bates, Terry Baker, Vern Burke, Steve Preece, John Didion, Bill Enyart, Craig Hanneman, Robb Thomas, Reggie Tongue, Inoke Breckterfield, Ken Simonton, Jonathan Smith, Tim Euhus, Derek Anderson, Mike Hass, Trent Bray, Sammy Piscitelli, Joe Newton, Sammie Stroughter, Matt Moore, James Rodgers and Brandin Cooks from the OSU side.
Phil Knight, Chip Kelly and Pat Kilkenny were among those providing important insight as to the rivalry. One chapter is entitled “Fisticuffs, Horseplay and More,” dedicated to some shenanigans, fights and downright brawls associated with the games. Forewords were written by Mark Helfrich and Mike Riley.
This is the book Eggers considers the favorite of the ones he has written, a collector’s item that you’ll want to read, then display in the bookcase of your study. Only a few books remaining. Get one now before they are gone.
