Finished: The One and Only (Giffin) A book about a fictitious college football team in a fictitious college town in the very real state of Texas....Texas college football...that about sums it up. :-) Oh, and there were also some relationships between the football coach, the ex-football stars, the socialite coach's daughter, and her best friend, the girl who loved and knew football inside and out; their relationships to each other, and the hold that little Texas college town had on them all. At first I was picturing College Station, Texas as I read...but then the fictional team actually played the Aggies, so I couldn't picture that anymore. Besides...the stadium they described didn't compare atall to Kyle Field at A&M. I intended to listen to this book on my phone while I walked all week, but I couldn't turn it off, so ended up listening to it in the house as well. There was something very poignant about listening to the lilting Texas accent of the narrator who read this book. A lot of great memories came flooding back! :-)
