Insightful, often very funny, Never Over The Hill is a trip back to college for the authors and for us. Dan Conaway's and Bill Haltom’s time at the University of Tennessee in the 60s and 70s was eye-opening for them and for the nation.

"How th'hell did we, let alone the university, survive?"

Their well-told tales of how college changed and shaped them, and of how lifetime friendships were found and formed, will be frighteningly and lovably familiar wherever and whenever you went to college.

"Dan Conaway and Bill Haltom's gift for storytelling is on full display ..."

"Hilarious stories about two young men coming of age ..."

Peyton likes it.

“For these guys, and for me, orange is a lifetime color. No matter where you went to college, this book will remind you of how that colored your life. A great read.” – Peyton Manning

So do these columnists.

“Anybody who attended UT during the same era as Bill Haltom and Dan Conaway can identify — while simultaneously sighing in nostalgia and gulping in embarrassment — with these riotous stories. How th’hell did we, let alone the university, survive?
– Sam Venable

“What a fun book! I have no idea how Bill and Dan squeezed all the joys of college into a single book. But then, I have no idea how they squeezed the Vietnam War, the moon landing, integration, and nekkid streakers into a single book. Oh, plus stolen toilet seats and ‘Rocky Top’ and romance and wistfulness. So, the book is a lot like college, come to think of it. And it will stay with you, in just the same way.” – Geoff Calkins

And these academics.

“Never Over the Hill is a must read for anyone who attended college during the 1960s and 1970s regardless of where you went to school. Dan Conaway and Bill Haltom’s gift for storytelling is on full display in this beautifully written book looking back at their years at UT and their look forward at the true meaning and impact of the lifelong friendships they made there.”

“Two great Volunteers reminisce about their college days at the University of Tennessee, but it is much more than that, it is great storytelling. Hilarious stories about two young men coming of age in the 60s and 70s on a college campus. It transcends time and will make each of us fondly remember our own college days, no matter the decade.” – Margie Nichols Gill
