Synopsis

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN COLLEGE FOOTBALL GETS TOO BIGTIME FOR ITS OWN BRITCHES? Its captivating illusion of semi-amateur sport, sponsored by dear old alma maters comes apart at the seams ---- that's what happens! This Second Edition of SUMBITCH tells the possibly true tale. * Dooley Doolittle, Chairman of the University of Texas Big Booster Club, copes with Notre Dame's threat to break-up a realigned Big Star Conference, last bastion of bigtime college football. * Brother Shepherd, semi-evangelic promoter, offers demoralized college football fans an alternative: new wine in an old bottle, as it were, or maybe vice versa: oldtime interstate football in a new amateur format. * Unhinged national sports commentator, Kris O'Berman, supports Brother Shepherd's initiative, as well as other means of destroying what's left of the bigtime college game and ridding campuses of the bullies who play it. * In the midst of this upheaval and ongoing turmoil, Gaylord Goodhart, a blue chip high school triple-threat stud, is caught in a no-holds-barred recruiting tug o' war between rival sibling coaches ---- A.C. and D.C. Cantwell. * A girl, Henryetta Hebert, small town newspaper reporter, rides her old Checker cab of a car to Gaylord's rescue, and in doing so, rescues this epic tale, told in print for only the second time ever.

À propos de l'auteur

SIMON PLASTER is or was, by any definition of the term, a storyteller: both a writer of fiction and a fibber ---- or as some might say, a downright liar. After he went missing, it was discovered that the first edition of SUMBITCH, though considered by some a masterpiece, was a mistaken publication of only a first draft of Plaster's seminal work. Mossik Press regrets the error, and is pleased to present new and revised material in this even more masterful Second Edition.
