[Mark Bunch]

A must read for the football fan from the south. All the teams and the chartetrs, all the traditions-explained.

[David Ward]

Southern Fried Football: The History, Passion, and Glory of the Great Southern Game by Tony Barnhart (Triumph Books 2000) (796.332) is a fine book about the grand old game. It covers the ACC, the SEC, and the other southern schools of note. It's full of anecdotes about other schools that I had never heard. My rating 7/10, finished 10/16/11.

[Chandler]

Good listing of all the pride and traditions of Southern football. However, my main complaint about this book is that it is 90% SEC and 10% ACC. Yes, I know the SEC has more tradition but the ACC deserves some respect too.

[Jeff]

Tradition continues every Fall Saturday in the SEC.
