Now, in \u003ci\u003eScoreboard, Baby\u003c\/i\u003e, Armstrong and Perry go behind the scenes of the Huskies' Cinderella story to reveal a timeless morality tale about the price of obsession, the creep of fanaticism, and the ways in which a community can lose even when its team wins. The authors unearth the true story from firsthand interviews and thousands of pages of documents: the forensic report on a bloody fingerprint; the notes of a detective investigating allegations of rape; confidential memoranda of prosecutors; and the criminal records of the dozen-plus players arrested that year with scant mention in the newspapers and minimal consequences in the courts. The statement of a judge, sentencing one player to thirty days in jail, says it all: \"to be served after football season.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bison Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780803228108\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 374\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.48h x 5.56w x 0.82d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Edgar Allan Poe Awards - Winner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/15\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/24\/2010 pg. 25\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/31\/2010 pg. 22\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eForeword\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/17\/2010\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Ken Armstrong, Nick Perry","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36643635134620,"sku":"9780803228108","price":16.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_19648622-f7a2-4fa7-97d7-d82b4c7e12e8.jpg?v=1603856987","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/scoreboard-baby-a-story-of-college-football-crime-and-complicity-9780803228108","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
