"Dirty Dogs is Bad News Bears on steroids and will do for college sports teams what Animal House did for college fraternities." "The Dirty Dozen of sports stories." "Slap Shot on the mats." The same DNA code flows through every cell of college wrestling coach Dan Sangha's body-WIN He breathes, eats, drinks and sleeps winning. However, his knack for offending people lands him a job in the underbelly of the college ranks. After suffering through years of mediocrity, he figures out how to build a championship team-recruit the undesirables-a talented assortment of malcontents shunned by other coaches. His squad is ready to challenge the defending national champions when their off-mat antics compel the university to drop the program. Blindsided, jobless and broke, Dan decides, by hook or by crook, to fund the program and go for his once in a lifetime shot at the national title. His fanatical compulsion to win at any cost kick-starts this cast of misfits on a hysterical, inspirational, wild, and helmet-less ride down the road to self-realization and brotherhood. In the tradition of the true stories, Miracle on Ice and Hoosiers, to the imaginary tales of Rocky and The Mighty Ducks our greatest sports stories are the Davids versus the Goliaths. Our romance with underdogs will have you rooting for the Dirty Dogs. Parental Warning: We recommend adult guidance when considering this book for young teens.
