Through his historical account of human ties, an account that is woven from game statistics, uniform styles, football schedules, and meteorological data, Daniel R. Gilbert Jr. presents a new way of thinking about accomplishments in intercollegiate athletic competition. Intercollegiate athletic competitors create layered relationships when they become opponents.
