Twombly was a joke.
He was a horrendous writer and or family never approved the final version of the book.

As you pointed out..his facts were often way off.
Once again a great write up.
Thanks


I read that book many, many years ago.

I felt all the way through it that Twombly had an axe to grind with ND and he went out of his way to do so. Unfortunately, he did a disservice to Frank Leahy in the process. If I ever wrote a book on Leahy, it would point out w/o question his love for his alma mater and especially for Rockne. Along with his family that was his life.


I was waiting for you to chime in on this.

I bought the book when it came out oh so many years ago. Still have it but view it now with a jaundiced eye.
