Men In The Arena

from Middle-Aged Men On... Hosted by Middle-Aged Men On...

Ever wonder what it's like to be a member of a Big 10 Conference football coaching staff? Or what it's really like to play Division I football? From the shock and uncertainty of coaching staff transitions, to battles for a freshman debut on ESPN, Gene and Dave detail their personal accounts, including the highs and lows that underscore the business side of big time college athletics. "It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat." - Teddy Roosevelt
