We have just over one week of the high school football season left, so that means it’s time to start your Christmas shopping.

The other day when SOS asked 2 1/2-year-old Grandson of SOS what he wanted for Christmas, he replied “A book.”

SOS knows exactly which book to buy: “The Perfect :10,” about the final 10 seconds of the 2015 Michigan State-Michigan game, which had one of the most bizarre endings to a college football game in the history of mankind.

It is written by Jack Ebling, who covered MSU for the Lansing State Journal for 25 years and is now the host of the popular “The Drive with Jack” radio show, and Joe Rexrode, who SOS stalked at the 2012 London Olympics to make sure he signed on with the Free Press to cover the Spartans.
After four years Rexrode left the Free Press under the guise of becoming a columnist at the Nashville Tennessean, but SOS believes he is really trying to get a recording contract with Jack White and Ben Blackwell at Third Man Records.

SOS can safely say this is the best-edited book since the Bible, because former Free Press sports editor Gene Myers was the editor and Steve Schrader, who was the cleverest guy at the Free Press, was the proofreader.

The only problem SOS found with the book was the back cover, which features endorsements from Henry Bullough, Tom Izzo and some guys named Mike Rosenberg, who allegedly worked at the Free Press before moving on to Sports Illustrated.

How could they not ask SOS for an endorsement?

Had they asked, SOS would have written: ‘SOS hasn’t read this book, but if he did, he would probably like it.”

You can order the book at: 10PerfectSeconds.com, but you don’t have to go any further to get the 16 winners of Saturday’s semifinals. SOS is coming off an impressive 26-6 mark in the regional finals, raising his playoff record to 186-38 (83%).
All games Saturday at 1 p.m.
