Fans will finally get the chance to walk onto the field with their
favorite Nittany Lions in Game of My Life Penn State Nittany Lions.
In this updated edition, Penn State alum Jordan Hyman asks over twenty
of the school's greatest football legends to share their favorite
memories and most poignant moments while wearing the white and blue.
This isn't a book that dwells solely on happy memories of great games of
years past.
When author Jordan Hyman, a Penn State graduate, went looking for 20
game recollections from some of Penn State's football legends, he
discovered in his interviews feelings of joy, respect, and pride, but
also locked-away emotions dealing with anger, racism, and regret.

Wally Triplett raves about the famous 1948 Cotton Bowl, Penn State
versus Doak Walker-led Southern Methodist, but he'll also relay his
experiences as a black football player in State College in the 1940s.
Rosie Grier will recall upsetting Illinois in 1954, but he'll also
reminisce about his roots on a Georgia farm and how he came to arrive in
University Park in the first place.
There are shining moments paired with wonderful anecdotes: Gregg Garrity
cannot forget the catch that would help win the 1983 national title game
for the Lions. A must-read for any Nittany Lions fan.
