A Century of Orange and Blue is just that--an in-depth look at the history of one of the Big Ten's premiere basketball programs. The University of Illinois' basketball roots date back to 1901, when the idea of men's basketball was introduced to UI director of athletics George Huff during a scrimmage at the Men's Old Gym. By 1906 a varsity basketball team was in place under the direction of Leo Hana and coach Elwood Brown. That team defeated Champaign High School, 71-4, on Jan. 6, 1906, before losing to more formidable college teams in Purdue and Indiana. Some 100 years later, the Fighting Illini have hoisted 15 Big Ten championship banners and sent four teams to the Final Four in search of a NCAA championship. From the Whiz Kids of '42 to the Flyin' Illini of '89 to the Big Ten champs of '04, A Century of Orange and Blue is full of fond memories of fantastic teams, recounted by authors Loren Tate and Jared Gelfond and the amazing players and coaches that put Illini basketball on the national map.

The word team is often overused in sports writing. It's used casually to refer to a collection of players that represent any old franchise or college. It's used passionately to describe a rooting interest--that's our team. And, occasionally, it's used to discuss what has come to be a cliche: the idea of a group of individuals coming together for the common good, sacrificing all personal gain for the greater goal of winning a championship. Serious scribes don't toss around that meaning of the word team lightly--or very often. And with good reason. In sports, there's rarely a cause to use it. But, there is no wiser usage of the word team--a unified core of players all working toward the same goal--than when applying it to the 2004-05 Fighting Illini squad that we've all come to cherish. They were a team like no other. Tales from the 2004-05 Fighting Illini captures the team step-by-step on its March to the Arch. News-Gazette reporter Brett Dawson shadowed Bruce Weber's boys the entire season and shares his insights into what made this team so special. The entire season was a rollercoaster ride of emotion: from the thrilling peaks--victories over Wake Forest, Wisconsin, Michigan State and ArizonA and unfortunate lows--the loss to Ohio State and the death of coach Weber's mother. Dawson adds a new perspective to those moments, plus goes behind the scenes to discover what made this team tick. He examines their funny bone as well as their fierce will to win. It's all here: from Midnight Madness to the first Dee for Threeeeee to the hoisting of two Big Ten trophies and finally a date with North Carolina in the NCAA finals. Dee, Deron, Luther, Roger, and James--led by the nationalcoach of the year--have a story to tell. Until today, only half of it has been told.

Brian Cook written by Brian Cook and has been published by Sports Publishing LLC this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2003-06 with Biography & Autobiography categories.
Former University of Illinois basketball star Brian Cook worked his way from a tough, poor upbringing (often eating syrup sandwiches), having been raised by his loving mother and dealing with self-esteem and a lack of confidence. From that beginning he slowly built himself into a McDonald's All-American basketball player in high school and eventually into the Big Ten Conference Player of the Year with the Fighting Illini. As shown in Brian Cook: An Illini Legend, Cook resisted the temptation to leave college early, instead staying all four years during what he called "the best time of my life." He grew from a boy to a man while at college and maintained a tremendous relationship with his mother (his best friend) and his sisters. Now Cook, beginning his career in the NBA, looks forward to the day when he can use his money to buy something wonderful for his mother. In an era filled with players best described as "punks," Brian Cook: An Illini Legend tells the story of a man who is sweet, sensitive and caring.
