Jon Falk: If These Walls Could Talk
In April, MGoUser LB alerted us to the upcoming publication of longtime Michigan Football Equipment Manager Jon Falk's, If These Walls Could Talk.
It's now been published and should be available in local bookstores. Here's the Amazon link where it's selling for $15.61.
From the publisher's press release:
Falk was hired as the team’s equipment manager by Bo Schembechler in 1974 and has been one of the most trusted members of the staff for the past four decades. In his new book If These Walls Could Talk: Michigan Football Stories From Inside the Big House, written with Dan Ewald (foreword by Tom Brady), Falk shares countless stories from an insider’s perspective including:
- Bo Schembechler’s epic gridiron chess matches with Ohio State’s Woody Hayes
- Why a Michigan place-kicker was falsely accused of robbing a bank
- What lesson Tom Brady took from Falk and still uses today
- Why Falk took the shirt off of the back of a freshman during a game
- The day Falk introduced freshman phenom Anthony Carter to All-American Ron Kramer

This book just shot up to the top of my "To buy" list, which actually doesn't exist, so basically I'll be buying it soon.

I just happen to have an Amazon gift card handy.
I read those last two words 'hard candy' about 4 times...
I'm 25 and already losing my mental capacities.
It only gets worse.
No gift cards. No matter. I'm purchasing today. Many thanks!
EDIT: Just went out to Amazon and its out of stock. Well, that really sucks.
EDIT2: In stock at Barnes and Noble. (Online and in stores).
...to see. Check overstock.com as well.
I'm glad I was able to use my card. I think there were still half a dozen left when I bought mine. The sheer power of MGoBlog!
Sweet. Ordered.
Very cool, going to go look for it after work today. Thanks for the heads up!
...do I just buy it, or drop a hint to my wife.
Amazon is offering students with a valid .edu email address a free year of Amazon Prime, which "grants buyers free two-day shipping on any item they buy" among other things. They ask you for your major and class standing, but I doubt they'll really investigate if you happen to work at a unviersity but aren't currently a student.

Ordered it yesterday with standard shipping. I'm about half way through the book right now. :)
It would seem this book has Wings!
Yes, it is good.
But I'd bet money it's the funniest. And possibly the most entertaining.
I will own this.
I wonder if any of his strip club stories made it in....
