5.0 out of 5 stars
50 years of love of college football,
By
This review is from: Fifty Years of College Football (Paperback)
The book has a lot of things that I have never seen in one book including line ups by year and school. The book covers so much of the changes in the last 50 years from single platoon, single wing, full house tee and all of the other changes and styles of the last 50 years.
It covers almost all of TV's college football. It has been a great 50 years of college football for me and it is well captured in this book. I find myself going back to it often to answer questions. It is a must for all of us older fans that remember the 50s, 60s and later. I have spent years gathering all this information in notebooks and now I have it in one book. You can tell the authors love for the history of the game. I don't need my notebooks now.

Could not believe the information packed in this book. You can find any stat or fact on every important game imaginable. Stuff I have never seen or heard about before. Truly a remarkable feat. I can tell the authors love the game. I highly recommend this book to any college football lover or someone who wants to learn more about the sports history.

This review is from: Fifty Years of College Football (Paperback)
I found the book very fact filled and informative. But, there are a number of mistakes. Most of these mistakes involved missing players, missing bowl game scores, and incorrect season records. Also, Tulanes records are totally missing. Overall, it is a great book, mistakes and all. On a scale of 1 to 10, I would give this book an 8 1/2.
