The game is a natural...This book tells much about the proud history of both football programs, and as a fan of either school, you will further understand the rich tradition of the both programs, and hopefully you will have the opportunity to see the renewal of the Terps vs. Mountaineers Rivalry." Johnny Holiday, Voice of the Terrapins since 1979: "Chip has written a 'must read' book for every Terrapin or Mountaineer fan. His connections with both athletic departments provide him a unique perspective and behind the scenes insight. From Danny Buggs' punt return in 1973 to Scott McBrien's revenge games in 2003 and beyond, his terrific storytelling captures the essence of this historic border rivalry." Jeff Tennant, former executive, Learfield IMG College: "Chip has enjoyed an exceptional vantage point from both sides of this rivalry and offers a unique perspective that captures the best of the many memorable players, coaches and games and also great insights on some less familiar - yet compelling - storylines." Doug Dull, former president of CoSIDA: "The Maryland-West Virginia rivalry has always been one of the most underrated in the nation, but in our area, it has a life of its own. Chip has told the stories of the heroes, goats, stars, performances and moments that have made this rivalry heart-stopping for college football fans in our area."
