Overview

   

No university has won more football championships than Alabama, and Barry Krauss played a key role in one of them. The linebacker’s fourth down stop of Penn State’s Mike Guman in the Sugar Bowl on January 1, 1979, was recently named by ESPN as one of the ten most important plays of the 20th century.

 

The Goal Line Stand, as the play became known, immortalized Krauss among legions of fans. More than twenty-five years later, people still tell him exactly what they were doing and how they felt when he collided in mid-air with Guman that New Year’s Day—and almost never mention his twelve-year career in the NFL.

 

In this entertaining and well-illustrated memoir, Krauss tells of scrimmaging on front lawns with friends as a kid in Pompano Beach, Florida, and of his childhood dream to play for Don Shula. He acknowledges how Coach Bear Bryant tamed his free spirit and shaped him into the football player—and the man—he became. And he emphasizes the importance of team, weaving together the personal stories of his Alabama teammates on the field during the Goal Line Stand, and acknowledges their significant roles in winning the game and the championship.

 

Ain’t Nothin’ But a Winner offers an insider’s look at how a team is built, tested, and becomes a national champion—and how that process sometimes calls upon an individual to rise to the challenge presented by his own personal gut check.

 

Editorial Reviews

From Barnes & Noble
In Alabama, it's always Paul "Bear" Bryant season. Everything about the famed Crimson Tide coach seems almost mythic: his six national championships; the last-minute victories; the heroic goal-line stands. As Penn State's Joe Paterno noted, "Even his peers in the coaching business felt in awe of him. He had such charisma. He was just a giant figure." In Ain't Nothin' but a Winner, two-time All-American Barry Krauss adds even more sheen to the Bryant legacy with an inspiring first-person account of Alabama's crucial Goal Line Stand in the 1979 Sugar Bowl.
