“The best football book since Frederick Exley’s classic A Fan’s Notes. Adam Jones’s Rose Bowl Dreams delves deeply into everything that made this country great--mother, God, football and drinking. Even if you can’t stand any of those things, Rose Bowl Dreams will almost certainly change your mind.”

            -Kinky Friedman, author, musician, Texas icon

“Adam Jones had the good sense to be born into the middle of four generations of a football-lovin' Texas family, and now that I think about it, that's probably redundant. Rose Bowl Dreams reads as if Jones just pulled up a chair, popped open a cold one and started telling stories. He's good company, and you don't have to be able to name the starting lineup of the 2006 Longhorns to enjoy him. Even an Aggie would agree that Rose Bowl Dreams can teach us all something about faith, family and football.”
             -Ivan Maisel, ESPN

“This is a remarkable story about football and family. It provides a wonderful message about how sports, if handled in the proper context, will forever keep humans together. Rose Bowl Dreams made my spine tingle.''

            -Jim Dent, New York Times bestselling author of The Junction Boys

“Rose Bowl Dreams reveals what lies at the heart of the hardcore college football fan better than any other book I’ve read. This story of faith and faith rewarded will move all readers, even those who scarcely know the difference between a punt and a pass.”
