From the clash of college to the best married shooting duo in history,
the Lone Star State clears every hurdle the sports world offers. A
former Texas Christian basketball player became the first tenured
African American professor at Harvard Business School. Aggie football
legend John Kimbrough's first professional contract required him to act
in movies and serve as the stadium's handyman. For every date on the
calendar, Ryan Sprayberry provides a play-by-play of 365 memorable days
in the state's athletic history, beginning with the birth of the Cotton
Bowl on January 1, 1937, and ending with the final snap of the Ice Bowl
on December 31, 1967.
