Coach Rich Rodriguez granted author and journalist John U. Bacon unrestricted access to the Michigan Wolverines' program. Bacon saw it all, from the meals and the meetings, to the practices and the games, to the sidelines and the locker rooms. Nothing and no one was off-limits. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eJohn U. Bacon's \u003ci\u003eThree and Out\u003c\/i\u003e is the definitive account of a football marriage seemingly made in heaven that broke up after just three years, and exposes the best and the worst of college football.\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSports fans invest great hopes and dreams into their teams. College football fans invest even more, I think, because of the stronger connection they feel with the school and the players. But I've never seen any fans ask more of their teams than Michigan football fans ask of theirs. There are only two groups who are more devoted to the Wolverines, and demand more in return: the coaches and the players. They have the most to gain and the most to lose. They know the stakes. And they accept them--even embrace them. It's why all of them, from Rich Rodriguez to Tate Forcier to Denard Robinson, came to Ann Arbor. Not to be average, or even good, but \"the leaders and best.\" Anything less would not do. This book explains how the coach and his team fell short--and what happened when they did.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJohn U.
