This review is from: Cathedrals Of College Football (Hardcover)
I've been a Texas A&M fan for a long time so I was very happy to see A&M in the book. After reading about the other schools, I came away with a greater appreciation for college football and what it means to fans around the country. It's a great game and CATHEDRALS OF COLLEGE FOOTBALL is a great book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Go Hokies, January 14, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Cathedrals Of College Football (Hardcover)
So much gets written about the big schools and their successes on the field. This is the first book that I've seen that takes a look at a lot of the schools that don't get the gushing press accolades and the constant fawning over by other media. And it's also cleanly written with a focus on the positives of college football. It's so easy today to get jaded because of the big money and the behavior of some of football's so called 'stars'. But the real stars of college football are the fans and their support of their team. These guys get get it!
