Synopsis:

This book is a compelling narrative that follows the progress of a few key players and coaches over the last year.

Reviews: The Southeastern Conference is made up of universities below the Mason-Dixon line, and southern folk take their football seriously. Ernsberger, a 10-year Newsweek veteran and former Tennessee Volunteer football player, has experienced the SEC phenomenon from three distinct views: as a young fan, as a player, and as an alumni. Ernsberger spent the 1999 season moving about the conference, chronicling the preparations for the big games, the games themselves, the personalities, and the historical context in which the games are played. The author is on familiar turf, and he conveys all the subtle undercurrents inherent in a competitive situation in which there are few secrets and, in effect, the whole world is watching. An excellent book, filled with humor, regionalism, and fondness for a situation that may appear crazy to an outsider but is even more insane from the inside. Wes Lukowsky
