Tulsa, Okla. - A new book "Golden Hurricane Football at The University of Tulsa" that chronicles the history of TU football has hit the newsstands. The book, authored by TU alumnus Chad Bonham, focuses on Tulsa's rich tradition in football and looks at the 2003 turnaround season. "Golden Hurricane Football at The University of Tulsa", published by Arcadia Publishing, has many photographs depicting Tulsa football history as well. Since 1895, The University of Tulsa has consistently produced high quality football teams and players despite being one of Division I-A's smallest institutions. From the perennial bowl teams of the 1940s to the revolutionary passing game of the 1960s, TU has made its mark throughout the history of college football. That tradition spawned pro-caliber talent including Jerry Rhome, Howard Twilley, Drew Pearson, Tim Gordon, Dennis Byrd, Gus Frerotte and Pro Football Hall of Fame inductees Jim Finks, Bob St. Clair and Steve Largent. Legendary coaches such as Francis Schmidt, Henry Frnka, Glenn Dobbs and John Cooper have led the Golden Hurricane to 521 victories and 59 winning seasons. The book takes a look at these impressive historical accomplishments and offers a glimpse of TU's future through the eyes of Coach Steve Kragthorpe and the 2003 team. The book can be purchased at: Steve's Sundry, Tulsa Treasures, Hillcrest Medical Center Gift Shop, Gift Gallery At the Promenade Mall, Barnes and Noble locations and Border's Books on 81st Street. Other sale locations may be added at a later date. The book can also be purchased at www.arcadiapublishing.com.
