There simply is no other current record like it in men's or women's college basketball: seven national championships in the last twenty-one years, six in twelve years. That is the record of the unquestioned "queenpins" of women's college basketball: the University of Tennessee Lady Vols, coached by the summit of all court coaches, the incomparable Pat Head Summitt. This dominant force on the hardwood has averaged a national title every three years since its first championship back in 1987.

Seven: The National Championship Teams of the Tennessee Lady Vols presents an intimate portrait of those championship seasons, with a thorough look at the makeup, execution, and final achievement of each championship squad. The chapters include the turning point of each season, the highs and lows, the rivalries, the highlight moments, the stars, and the force behind them all: Coach Pat Summitt. The teams include the 1987 "Corn-fed Chicks," the first title team, and the Bridgette Gordon-led Vols of 1989, whom NCAA runner-up Auburn coach John Ciampi once praised inadvertently, saying, "She's the best. God bless her. Graduate and get out of Tennessee!"

Here is the story of the team that "unretired" Coach Summitt: the 1991 Lady Vols, underdogs to No. 2 Virginia in the NCAA finals, who rode the hot hand of Dena Head down the stretch in one of the greatest women's basketball games ever played. Then came the unprecedented three-year dynasty of the 1996-98 Lady Vols, headed by All-American Chamique Holdsclaw and capped by the 39-0 season of 1998, the school's sixth NCAA women's crown in twelve seasons. The just-completed 2007 season, led by the awesome athletic skills of sophomore All-American Candace Parker, culminated in Tennessee's seventh national championship.

Alan Ross presents a courtside look at the heated rivalry with the "Lady Vols of the North," the University of Connecticut Huskies, as well as a look at all the great Tennessee stars: Parker, Shannon Bobbitt, Holdsclaw, Kara Lawson, Tamika Catchings, Michelle Marciniak, Daedra Charles, Head, Gordon, Tonya Edwards, Sheila Frost, and the other magnificent players who helped cut down the nets for the champion Lady Vols.

In 1925, the Pottsville Maroons, a football team from the heart of Pennsylvania coal country, joined the fledgling National Football League. Built by an eccentric owner, molded by a visionary coach and loaded with hardscrabble miners, college All Americans and the +sky's the limit' ethos of the Roaring Twentys, the Maroons did the unthinkable and dominated the NFL in their rookie season. (Their improbable rise was chronicled each week in the local paper by a rookie Pottsville sportswriter named John O'Hara.)Little Pottsville outscored its first seven opponents 162-6. The boys so thoroughly pummeled one opponent, angry fans shot up their train car as the Maroons rode out of town. In the final game of that first season the Maroons traveled to the Midwest to face the league-leading Chicago Cardinals in what was viewed as the championship game for 1925. The Maroons overcame a Windy City snowstorm and an injury to their best player to defeat the Cardinals 21-7.But the fans wanted more.College ball was still king. And as news of Pottsville's success was splashed across the news reels and headlines throughout the country, a movement began to have the Maroons face a team of college All-Stars from the University of Notre Dame, featuring the legendary Four Horsemen, the finest collection of talent the game had ever known. Experts believed the NFL was still decades away from competing with college football. But on a neutral field in Philadelphia, in a battle described as The Greatest Football Game Ever Seen, the Maroons shocked the world and turned the football establishment upside-down, defeating Notre Dame 9-7 on a last-second field goal by their captain Charlie Berry who had his kicking cleat bronzed for eternity.The championship was theirs. The NFL was finally on the map. The Maroons victory over Notre Dame had legitimized the league. It also destroyed the town and the team that made it all possible.Claiming the upstart Maroons had violated the territory of another franchise by playing Notre Dame in Philadelphia, the NFL suspended Pottsville and awarded the 1925 NFL championship to the Chicago Cardinals. The Cardinals refused to accept the bogus title and the 1925 crown was never officially awarded. For more than 80 years, fans of the Pottsville Maroons-the team Red Grange said was the greatest he ever faced-have fought to have the 1925 title returned to its rightful owners.With Breaker Boys their remarkable story is told at last..
