Glory Hounds: How a Small Northwest School Reshaped College Basketball.And Itself.Almost a generation ago, a small school from the Northwest made its first noise in college basketball. For the first time, the Gonzaga Bulldogs won games in the NCAA tournament of 1999, going all the way to the Elite Eight. Then they validated their arrival with Sweet 16 appearances the next two years. Unlike other unheralded programs that have emerged to make national headlines, the Zags didn't go away.

Almost a generation ago, a small school from the Northwest made its first noise in college basketball. For the first time, the Gonzaga Bulldogs won games in the NCAA tournament of 1999, going all the way to the Elite Eight. Then they validated their arrival with Sweet 16 appearances the next two years.

Unlike other unheralded programs that have emerged to make national headlines, the Zags didn't go away. They have stacked solid season upon solid season and as they enter 2016-17, they boast an 18-year streak of playing in the NCAA tournament -- a run of success that includes eight straight years of March Madness victories.

A few years after the men's program took off, the Gonzaga women also reached unprecedented heights -- partly with the help of a fan base that couldn't get tickets to the men's games, but pushed the women to a top-15 national ranking in attendance.

"Glory Hounds" is the story of how it all came together at Gonzaga for both men and women, how it changed the school, and how -- in a turbulent time of here-and-gone players in college basketball -- it continues.

The Gonzaga story is woven deeply into the longevity of head coach Mark Few and his choice to stay at the school in the face of multiple offers to move elsewhere. "Glory Hounds" takes a close look at Few, his small-town roots and his decision to stay put.

The book explores the rise of Few's longtime assistant, Tommy Lloyd, and his recruiting acumen overseas that has made Gonzaga one of the most popular destinations for foreign players. It documents the almost zany events that led to the construction of a new arena on campus in 2004; the unforgettable season of Adam Morrison in 2006; and the heartbreak and redemption of Josh Heytvelt. It chronicles the redshirt-year growth that has aided the program, and it details the paradox that keeps Seattle from becoming a productive recruiting pool for the Zags.

Gonzaga's women authored their own rise to prominence, and "Glory Hounds" recounts that ascent, as well as the wizardry of the best women's player in school history, Courtney Vandersloot.

"Glory Hounds" is the first attempt to bind together the various elements that, in a span now stretching into a generation, have made the Gonzaga story so compelling.

Remarkable Quality at that Price!
Flavor Name: Dark Roast, Size: 24 Count (Pack of 1)
Look folks, it’s not Barista Prima or Starbucks, but it’s very inexpensive for what you get. It’s strong and tastes pretty good and will wake you up. What more can you ask for?

Amazon refunded us immediately; we requested credit
Flavor Name: Dark Roast, Size: 100 Count (Pack of 1)
This coffee was great tasting, the aroma was nice, BUT the containers were the problem. Amazon took care of us right away and refunded us; they didn't even want the rest of the coffee pods back or proof of all the ones that burst open in our coffee maker. Here's the only reason we snatched off two stars; the foil tops came loose ( in all the Happy Belly Flavors we purchased) while in our keurig/pod style coffee maker. Grinds were in the cups of coffee and all over the inside of our coffee maker. We decided to try to not waste the coffee after Amazon said to keep or throw away the faulty product, so we, one by one open and pour the Happy Belly ground coffee(s) into a 12 cup coffee maker basket when we have lots of coffee to prepare. The coffee itself is delicious and fresh, but something's wrong with the packaging's foil pod tops on all the types of Happy Belly we bought. Too bad, because it's good coffee, priced at a bargain, it's just too bad the pods are falling apart messy.

Delicious coffee. Had a fabulous price
Flavor Name: Dark Roast, Size: 100 Count (Pack of 1)
I've used several different coffees over the past 12 months, including french press. I find these pods every bit is good or better than the other coffees at 3:00 or four times the cost

Bananas from Amazon! Yes!
During a recent surprise deep freeze on the way, I tried to find bananas and couldn't find them any where and decided just to check on Amazon and there they were! Bananas! I was so happy! And they were good! I have almost gave them a 4 star instead of a 5 star because I usually like to get my bananas a little bit on the slightly still green place so they were last several day. But Amazon didn't know that. They were very fresh and a great value for the money! They were in good condition! I was so pleased! And I would not hesitate to order fruit from Amazon again. They tasted great! Fresh bananas from Amazon! Who would have thought it!
