Terry Frei is a columnist for the Denver Post, and regularly contributes articles to ESPN.com and The Sporting News. He lives in Denver.
It is a great story, well told with more delicious details than a linebacker could tackle.
— San Antonio Express-News
Frei does a masterful job of weaving in the historical significance of the turbulent times, including the Vietnam War protests, the military draft lottery and the civil rights movement that were so much a part of the campus life in that era...It's political football at its best...
— Arkansas Democrat Gazette
Denver Post sports writer Terry Frei's book is much more than a recounting of the Texas-Arkansas 'Game of the Century' that earned the Longhorns the 1969 national college football championship. Horns, Hogs and Nixon Coming is a timeline of one of the most tumultuous and important years in American history.
— The Denver Post
After 35 years it may be time to move on—from the war, from radical divide, from Bill Clinton as a lightning rod, from 15-14. Reading this book might be cathartic.
— John Brummett; Times Record
A very good book, Horns, Hogs and Nixon Coming has been written not only about the game and the people, but its extraordinary time of war and racial struggle.
— John Brummett; Fayetteville Morning News
A very good book.
