Dixie's Football Pride delivers facts and a short historical synopsis of some of the Alabama Crimson Tide's most memorable moments in college football, from the National Championship years to its Hall of Famers, this "coffee table book" delivers quality information, along with some very colorful and recognizable photos. The best part of the entire book is, of course, on the back bind: a CD, containing two wallpapers, a Tide photo album/screensaver, all versions of the Million Dollar Band's game-time hits (from "Go Bama" to "Rammer Jammer"), and over a handful of sound clips, like the infamous sportscast team Eli Gold and Kenny Stabler, randomly calling the Tide's most memorable plays and incredible teamwork, in what can only be remembered as the pride that IS a part of Alabama football.

There are several great photos in this little book, and highlights featuring the greatest players and teams in Tide history. But the main attraction here is the CD included inside the back cover. It includes two cuts of "Yea Alabama!" and standard stadium chants and cheers from the Million Dollar Band. It's also interspersed with radio broadcasts of legendary plays (The Kick, The Sack, and the PSU block among them) that STILL send chills up my spine. When late August rolls around, I play this and get REALLY fired up. A must have purchase for Tide fans, it's a steal.
