2011 VETERANS DAY TRIBUTE, SPECIAL GUEST TERRY FREI AUTHOR OF THE BOOK ”THIRD DOWN AND A WAR TO GO”

Author Terry Frei, author of the book "Third Down and A War To Go" joins us to tell the story of the 1942 Wisconsin Badgers Football team. After posting an 8-1-1 record and #3 AP Poll National Ranking, the majority of the 1942 Badgers went off to fight WWII. Author Terry Frei's Father, former Oregon Head Coach Jerry Frei, was one of them. Only learning of his Father's WW II service and a little about the 1942 Badgers late in his Father's life, Terry Frei was inspired to embark on the journey of finding out about these young men of 1942, who were both typical carefree college football players from a simpler era, and, ultimately heroes who fought and won a war to save the free world. His award winning book, "Third Down and a War To Go" tells their story.
