Return to Junction: Smokey and the Bear and Other Aggie Football Stories (Swaim-paup Sports)
In 1954, a wide-eyed youngster named Gareld Rollins arrived on the campus of the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas as a freshman, slated to work as a student manager for the football team. The head coach, who had just arrived at A&M the previous February, was Paul &;Bear&; Bryant, who was already in the process of becoming a sports legend. Bryant had brought with him Charles &;Smokey&; Harper as head athletic trainer, who not only taped ankles and administered first aid to injured players but was also Bryant&;s most trusted advisor on the topic of his players&; ability, potential, and, above all, their grit. In Return to Junction: Smokey and the Bear and Other Aggie Football Stories, Rollins tells the behind-the-scenes stories of the Bryant era in Texas A&M football, a time that began amid &;the goat-head stickers and dust&; of a practice field in Junction, Texas, and ended with the shocking news that Bryant intended to &;go home to Mama,&; taking the head coaching job at the University of Alabama. In fact, as Rollins relates, he had the job&;as both a trusted athletic trainer and the student editor of the Texas A&M campus newspaper, the Battalion&;of secretly helping Coach Bryant draft the news release that would officially announce his departure from A&M. Featuring interviews and recollections from many of those who lived that time along with him, Rollins gives readers a firsthand view of what has come to be seen as a golden time in Texas A&M football.
