Synopsis

What happens when college football gets too bigtime for its own britches? Its captivating illusion of semi-noble amateur sport, sponsored by dear old alma maters, comes apart at the seams ----- that's what happens! The bigtime game's big ugly ass is exposed, even rabid fans turn away in disgust, and America is faced with the calamitous prospect of not having a worthy national champion. This book, SUMBITCH, tells the tale. - Dooley Doolittle, Chairman of the University of Texas Big Booster Club, copes with Notre Dame's threat to break-up a realigned Big Star Conference, last bastion of bigtime college football. - Brother Shepherd, semi-evangelical promoter, offers demoralized football followers an alternative: new wine in old bottles, as it were, or maybe vice versa: oldtime interstate football in a new amateur format. - In the midst of this upheaval and ongoing turmoil, Gaylord Goodhart, a blue-chip high school triple-threat stud, is caught in a bitter recruiting tug o' war between rival sibling coaches ----- A.C. and D.C. Cantwell. - A girl, Henryetta Hebert, semi-self-appointed reporter for the New York Times, comes to the rescue in and of the epic tale, told in print for the first time ever. SUMBITCH.

About this title

About the Author:

Simon Plaster is, by any definition of the term, a storyteller: both a writer of fiction and a fibber ---- or as some might say, a downright liar. Currently, he is looking for an equally undemanding but better paying line of work in or near Odessa, Texas, where he resides in the company of a deaf-and-dumb dog named Goat.
