Synopsis

Bowl Full of Memories: 100 Years of Football at the Yale Bowl covers Yale football from its inception in 1872 and pays tribute to the historic Yale Bowl, which celebrates its 100th anniversary in 2014. Based on more than 150 interviews—more than 100 of which were conducted with former players—the book serves as a time capsule of Yale football by those who took part in this most storied college football program. Players, coaches, writers, broadcasters, and fans give their view of the spectacle, people, places, and contests that make Yale football history come to life. Marazzi, who has seen almost every game in the Yale Bowl in the last 50 years, gives due attention to the career of towering figures like legendary Yale football coach Walter Camp, whose story is important to understanding Yale football and the evolution of the game as we know it. And of course he covers one of the oldest rivalries in college sports, between Yale and Harvard.

The book takes readers into the huddle, the locker room, the practice field, the campus, and the hearts and minds of Yalies over the past century. Bowl Full of Memories: 100 Years of Football at the Yale Bowl is a book that every Yale alum and Ivy League and college football fan will want to own and refer to often.

Review

A handsome, large-scale coffee-table volume commemorating one of the most famous venues in American sporting history.... Marazzi’s time capsule of a book is chockablock from players, coaches, fans and even opponents.” New Haven Magazine

A Bowl Full of Memories is filled with 377 photos and commemorates this year’s 100th anniversary of the Bowl. It serves as an encyclopedia complemented with a great narrative and storytelling.” The New Haven Register

Yes, [the book] is a history of Yale football and the Yale Bowl. Yet it contains so many first-person accounts from players, coaches and fans that Marazzi has authored something special, something that lives and breathes.” The Hartford Courant

A Bowl Full of Memories is a narrative, a reference book, a source book, and a history book however the reader wishes to use it. It need not be read cover to cover, or in any particular order. Open to any page and it begins to make one an authority on Yale football and the Yale Bowl. . . . We give the book five Boola Boolas.” SportzEdge.com

More than 150 interviews, many photographs, a multitude of memories by an author who has seen every game at the Bowl in the last 50 years. Pegged to the centennial of the remarkable sports edifice, the book is especially worthwhile for Yalies and all fans of sports and culture. MOST RECOMMENDED.” Dr. Harvey Frommer, Sportsology
