Now you will be, too.
With "Beyond the Phog," King provides Kansas fans with an unprecedented
glimpse into one of the most memorable eras in the program's rich
history. Extensive interviews with nearly 40 players from the last
decade, as well as both head coaches, reveal fascinating details about
the inner-workings of a true college basketball dynasty.
You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll be riveted – and, at times, shocked.
Whatever the case, even the most ardent Kansas supporters will be
exposed to candid, behind the scenes stories and anecdotes that, until
