Great Inside Look

What a great idea-- go inside both teams as they prepare for the greatest college football rivilary in the nation-- Auburn v. Alabama (or Alabama v. Auburn, whichever you prefer). It offers great insight of the workings of the coaching staffs as they get ready for the big game.

Roll Tide! and, well ok... war eagle.

Finally, a well-written book about the only college football rivalry that really matters. Other books have tried to capture the intensity of this series. But this one, with excellent material from folks like Howell Raines, tops them all. If you've ever tried, vainly, to explain what this game really means to someone not washed in Alabama-Auburn lore, then you know how difficult it is to do what these authors have done. An excellent book. Well done.
