Rites of Autumn: The Story of College Football

Rating:
Summary: Rites of Autumn
Review: The introduction by Roger Stauback is worth the price of the book. Anyone who had anything from a mild interest or upward in college football would love this book. The author knows his subject well. This and his other sports books express his interest and love of the "game". After reading this you will want to look at some of his previous books, especially "What a game they played".

Summary: Panoramic view of college football
Review: The writer has given us a panoramic view of college football. The book covers the great coaches, teams and rivalries of the past 100 years. There are a number of wonderful photos sprinkled through the book as well. The writing touches on a number of subjects in brief articles, so don't look for any in depth stories about one particular program, coach or player. This is not a complaint, merely an observation. My only real complaint is the errors I found. Some photos misidentified players and bits of information were incorrect (minor errors, but annoying none the less). Overall, this is a great book for any college football fan.
