One Fantastic Ride

“Numbers, words, photos — three ways to tell the same story. The strength of One Fantastic Ride is that it brings all three elements together in a compelling way. . . . Surpasses previous championship books in the level of detail it pays to what actually happened on the court and why. . . . As time passes and more seasons come and go, the legendary performances turned in by the 2008-09 Tar Heels at the end of the season are likely only to grow in stature. One Fantastic Ride captures this extraordinary moment in exemplary fashion.” — InsideCarolina.com

“Offers more behind-the-scenes stories, quotes and insights plus hundreds of color photos usually found in more expensive coffee table books. . . . The authors are UNC 'insiders' of long standing and share their access and historical knowledge with readers.” — Community Sports News

“For Carolina fans, the book is also a fantastic ride, enhanced by excellent color photographs of the championship players in action.” — Metro Magazine

“North Carolina basketball has such a rich tradition. The fans bleed Tar Heel blue, and the 2008–09 season was a special one for the loyal supporters. This book chronicles the great ride from the start of the campaign to cutting down the nets at Ford Field. Adam Lucas, Steve Kirschner, and Matt Bowers did a terrific job and for the North Carolina faithful, this is super, scintillating, sensational, baby!” — Dick Vitale

“The 2008–09 national championship season was full of great moments for a terrific group of players, coaches, and fans. Only an outstanding book could do justice to this team and their story — Lucas, Kirschner and Bowers have delivered a masterpiece. One Fantastic Ride brings those moments back to life and will remind fans everywhere why it’s great to be a Tar Heel!” — Phil Ford
