Customer Reviews

A great Georgia "fan" book

This is a great book . . . if you are really into Georgia football. The casual fan might not be as enthusiastic about it. People who love Dooley (and I'm a huge fan of his, by the way) will enjoy some great insight offered by this book -- but if you want a more up to date accounting of the state of Georgia football I'd suggest you check out this title: Top Dawg: Mark Richt and the Revival of Georgia Football or if you want a more complete history of the Georgia program in a fun, easy to read format, then this is a great read all SEC football fans will enjoy: UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA FOOTBALL: An Interactive Guide to the World of Sports (Sports by the Numbers)

MUST HAVE FOR GEORGIA FANS

We enjoy having this book in our home. My daughter reads it often. It was a gift for her dad. He loves it too. Anyone who loves the Georgia Bulldogs would love to have this book.

Tha DAWG!

Dooley is THA DAWG when it comes to UGA foorball. (Michael Adams is most certainly NOT) UGA Grad-

If You're Already a Fan

If you're not a University of Georgia football fan, or at least a football fan, this book won't mean much to you. But if you are, then listening to what Vince Dooley has to say, and the reminisces of the players from the last 40 years or so makes for fascinating reading. The book is part autobiography of Dooley, and then commentary from a couple of dozen players, most of whom went on to good success in whatever they did: some in football, a judge, businessmen of all types, but all see their start on the football field. Not a great book for all time, but delightful reading.
