A gifted middle linebacker, Ivory Christian is “ambivalent,” as Bissinger describes it, about football, and wants, after high school, to become a Christian preacher at a local church in the African American Southside of Odessa. But Christian is later offered a scholarship by TCU—Texas Christian University—which he accepts. Christian gives up on his dream of preaching, and commits himself, once again, to football, at least during his university education.
