Description

For tens of millions of people across this country, autumn Saturdays mean one thing and one thing only: college football. And to the truly devoted--the good folks of Ann Arbor and Baton Rouge and Austin--the ESPN College Football Encyclopedia is, in the words of Sports illustrated reviewer Chuck Hirschberg, their Bible. Now the faithful can look forward to another heaping helping of college football nirvana: three new reference books--each more than 450 pages long--tracing the complete history of the Big Ten Conference, the Big 12 Conference, and the Southeastern Conference. Inside each you will find the same exhaustive research, the same smart analyses, the same attention to detail that made the original book a must-own. You will also find a wealth of new information. We've updated and expanded the team profiles to include new entries on Best Backfield and Best Defense. We've added two new pages of statistics for each program and lists of first-round draft choices, all-conference teams, and members of the pro football and college football Halls of Fame.And we've commissioned new essays on the storied history of each conference--the people, places, and moments that make each unique. From legendary coach Bear Bryant to the Florida Gators' Fun 'n' Gun offense to the unforgettable Rose Bowl showdown between Texas and USC, it's all here, behind a handsome paperback cover and conveniently priced at $21.95. Yet one more reason to thank the lord for Saturdays.
