Title: Southern Fried Football: The History, Passion, And Glory by Tony Barnhart, Keith Jackson ISBN: 1-57243-367-1 Publisher: Triumph Books Pub. Date: 01 August, 2000 Format: Hardcover Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $24.95 |
Average Customer Rating: 3.83 (6 reviews)

Summary: Not bad but a little lean in parts
Comment: I expected a little more from this book, but it wasn't bad. I liked the Georgia stuff since that's Tony's gig, but it was a little lacking on some of the other southern football "powerhouses." If you're looking for a comprehensive look at the most powerful conference in the country, try out the Tailgater's Guide to SEC Football. It's killer. In all, a nice addition to the collection. I give Barnhardt 3.75/5.00.
Rating: 3
Summary: Not enough story telling
Comment: While the information collected gives the reader a wealth of facts, I was looking for the stories and story telling Barnhart can weave. Fans love to engage in arguing about great teams and great players while sitting around the living room. This reads more like a dry text book covering southern football.
Rating: 3
Summary: A little disapointing...
Comment: 'Southern Fried Football' is the definitive reference tool for fans of SEC and ACC football. The book has a comprehensive timeline, lists of the greatest Southern teams and players, and a section on coaches.
Tony Barnhart is a great writer, so I was a little disappointed to find so many lists. While the sections on rivalries and game day traditions are very readable, the list of '100 Players That Made A Difference' is not.
More than anything else, traditions are what transform Southern college football from mere sport to religion. This book will give readers a crash course in these traditions.
Defiantly a must have for SEC and ACC football fans, but Barnhart's writing skill is not well represented here.
