About the book:
In 1997, South Dakota State football was your everyday Division II program. Twenty-six years later, they were Division I national champions. This is the story of coach John “Stig” Stiegelmeier — the man who led the way — and the overlooked recruits who defied the odds, survived the grim transition to Division I, and steadily built a powerhouse program in the frozen plains of South Dakota. Discover how a program nobody seemed to believe in became the team nobody could beat. With over 135 interviews with Stig, former players and coaches — this book offers an inside look into how a National Champion was built at SDSU.
