"A wonderful ride of emotion and history."—Jorge Iber, Sport in American History
“Steve Smith, a self-described ‘serial contrarian,’ has updated Forever Red in such a way that it should be looked at as volume 2 in a set, with additional insight into what it means to be a Cornhusker football fan. Except that this isn’t just about football. No back-of-the-cover blurb will do the book justice. It’s one of a kind.”—Mike Babcock, editor of Hail Varsity
“Steve Smith captures the true spirit of the state of Nebraska and what makes it tick. You will quickly recognize yourself, family members, and friends in Smith’s hilarious observations and stories about Nebraska football history as seen through the eyes of its fans. This is a must-read not only for Cornhuskers but for true sports fans everywhere.”—Charlie McBride, former Nebraska defensive coordinator
“[Forever Red] is a marvelous microcosm of where Big Red fever can take you.”—Adrian Fiala, the late host of Big Red Wrap Up and former color voice of the Huskers on the Pinnacle Sports Network
