Being an ALABAMA FOOTBALL fan I may be biased, but this is a great book nonetheless.
No other book does more in chronicling the history of football at THE UNIVERSITY OF ALABAMA. From its humble beginnings in 1892 to the arrival of head coach Nick Saban in 2007, this book has it all.
Inside is a plethora of artifacts (recreated, of course), including but not limited to:
A program from BAMA's first football game in 1892
Tickets to historic games
1950s pennant
Period stat sheets

My husband is a diehard Bama fan, and this was just to be an addition to the collection he already has... But, this could be the best one yet. I was amazed at the amount of information, history, memorabilia, quality, everything. I was expecting another "book", not a scrapbook of Alabama football history. Way to go Barker!

This book is more than a book. It has everything you could imagine and is very well written by former alabama QB Jay Barker. I sat, totally amazed by everything in this vault for over 2 hours, reading stories, talking to my dad about games he'd been too, having travia matches with my "know-it-all" brother, and wishing I had another book for myself. This book looks great on the coffee table of my moms house and is a suitable sub for the Bible (until mom saw it there, Apparently "The Bear" isn't God after all.). If you like 'Bama football then, this book will make you love it. This is THE GIFT for the holidays or any other special occasion.

My older brother is a big fan of Alabama's college football team, so I bought him this for his birthday. He loves it!

Loved the book which is full of anecdotes, history and pull out items pertaining to the legend of Alabama football. Arrived sooner than expected and in perfect condition.

this the book to own! Jay Barker did a great job of assemebling the history. It will be a book to pass down to my two sons....opps, I forgot! I gave both of them one for Christmas.

Bought this for my dad for Christmas and he cannot stop talking about it! He loves it! I highly recommend this as a gift - the receiver will think you spent $100 for it.

I got this book for my dad for Christmas since he's an avid Crimson Tide fan and, while the content and pictures in the book are grand, the little reproductions of all of the memorabilia are enclosed in little envelopes on the pages and they ALL FELL APART when we went through the book (the little glued-to-the-pages envelopes, that is)! Every one of them! I wanted to return the book, but, who wants to go through THAT hassle?!!? Sorry, but...I'd never order from this publisher again! Crappy book quality!

Great Book for Bama fans. Goes through the history of UA Football. Has reprint tickets and postcards throughout the book. Not only a book but a souvenier also.

Loved this book. I'm a long time Tide fan and it's great to introduce my kids to the legacy of Alabama football.
