  • The Ice Bowl: the Cold Truth About Football's Most Unforgettable Game
    SPORTS | FOOTBALL $16.95 GRUVER An insightful, bone-chilling replay of pro football’s greatest game. “ ” The Ice Bowl —Gordon Forbes, pro football editor, USA Today It was so cold... THE DAY OF THE ICE BOWL GAME WAS SO COLD, the referees’ whistles wouldn’t work; so cold, the reporters’ coffee froze in the press booth; so cold, fans built small fires in the concrete and metal stands; so cold, TV cables froze and photographers didn’t dare touch the metal of their equipment; so cold, the game was as much about survival as it was Most Unforgettable Game About Football’s The Cold Truth about skill and strategy. ON NEW YEAR’S EVE, 1967, the Dallas Cowboys and the Green Bay Packers met for a classic NFL championship game, played on a frozen field in sub-zero weather. The “Ice Bowl” challenged every skill of these two great teams. Here’s the whole story, based on dozens of interviews with people who were there—on the field and off—told by author Ed Gruver with passion, suspense, wit, and accuracy. The Ice Bowl also details the history of two legendary coaches, Tom Landry and Vince Lombardi, and the philosophies that made them the fiercest of football rivals. Here, too, are the players’ stories of endurance, drive, and strategy. Gruver puts the reader on the field in a game that ended with a play that surprised even those who executed it. Includes diagrams, photos, game and season statistics, and complete Ice Bowl play-by-play Cheers for The Ice Bowl A hundred myths and misconceptions about the Ice Bowl have been answered.

Former Crewmen Returning to USS ALABAMA for Annual Reunion Mobile, Alabama, March 18, 2016 – The men who served aboard the USS ALABAMA (BB 60) will return to Battleship Memorial Park for their annual reunion on Friday and Saturday, April 15 and 16. This will mark the 51st year that the crewmen have assembled for the USS ALABAMA Crewmen’s Association Reunion. “April is the most special time at USS ALABAMA Battleship Memorial Park,” commented Janet Cobb, executive director. “It’s a homecoming for the crew, a privilege only a few World War II sailors enjoy, that of reuniting with their ship. I can’t imagine how these men feel when they pull into the Park and see her at anchor, at rest, ‘The Mighty A,’ ‘The Lucky A.’ Whatever they might have called her back then, they’re still coming home every time they visit her,” Cobb continued. “We look forward to another special few days together with these members of the Greatest Generation and look forward to welcoming them aboard.” This year 12 former crewmen will be attending the reunion, along with wives, children, grandchildren and other family members. “This is such a special time for these families,” explained Bill Tunnell, organizer of the annual reunion and member of the USS ALABAMA Battleship Commission. “The reunion is the time that these brave men share stories of the war and their lives with their grandchildren and great-grandchildren, passing their personal history down through the generations.” As part of the Crewmen’s Association reunion, the Crewmen’s Luncheon, an invitation only event, will be held at the Park.

    Parsons College E-News Volume 9, No. 1 Spring - 2016 Springtime spawns memories of America’s #1 pastime..BASEBALL! PARSONS COLLEGE BASEBALL – ONE OF THE TOP COLLEGIATE PROGRAMS OF THE 1960’S WITH A .814 WINNING PERCENTAGE OVER SEVEN SEASONS Parsons College in the 1960’s was well known for its top academics, social life and athletic programs. This spring, we’re highlighting the baseball teams that carried a winning banner throughout the Midwest and the nation. The seven seasons between 1964 and 1970 the Wildcat team won 233 games and lost only 53 games for a .814 winning average. During those years they also sent a number of players off to Major League Baseball including pitchers, Rich Folkers, Charlie Williams, Dick Mills and Jim Todd, to name a few. The Coaches who made it happen!!! Coach Joe Lutz got the program rolling in 1964 Coach Hall, 1966 Coach Banks, 1966-69 Coach Blixt, 1970-73 Dr. Millard G. Roberts vision for national recognition extended beyond the academic halls of campus. He was determined to send a message to future students that Parsons College was a well-rounded institution. He made that very clear when his athletic department extended an invitation to Coach Joe Lutz in the fall of 1964 to take over and develop a top notch varsity baseball program. Lutz was born on February 18, 1925, in Keokuk, Iowa and was a high school baseball standout. He signed a professional contract with the St. Louis Browns in 1941. Joe played for minor league teams in the Browns organization and advanced to their AAA level in1951 prior to being traded to the Brooklyn Dodgers organization.
