The Totally Biased Guide to Southern College Football

     Hello! Ready to talk some college football? Kickoff is less than a month away.  My name is Pete Davis and this blog is about two things: Talking college football and getting the word out about my new book about college football called 'The Totally Biased Guide to Southern College Football'.
     Please check it out on amazon.com's Kindle, it's only 99 cents and where else can you get a very funny rundown of all the SEC teams, Florida State, Miami, Texas, Texas A&M, and Clemson.  All the ammo you'll need to shut up that annoying brother-in-law, neighbor, or co-worker who just won't quit bragging about how great their team is and why they're better than your team when you know that can't possibly be true.
     For the price of a Whopper Jr. you'll know the sordid history of these teams and their best-kept-hidden secrets.  For instance, did you know that being the head football coach at Texas was once considered a death curse?
     Or that the live mascots of LSU, Arkansas, and Georgia Tech have all escaped and wreaked havoc on campus? More than once! I'm talking live tigers, razorbacks, and even bears.  The Yellowjackets brought a bear back from the Rose Bowl and let it wander around Atlanta.  It even hitched rides in police squad cars.
     Did you know FSU once provided players for hated rival Florida?
     Or the Hurricanes once had a gay dog as their mascot?
     Or why Auburn refused to play the Crimson Tide for nearly half a century? (Hint: It had something to do with Broadway musicals).
     Check it out, 'The Totally Biased Guide to Southern College Football', and feel free to write me and tell me what you think or give it a review and rate it on Amazon.com.  What do you have to lose for under a buck?
     Now, let's talk some college football.
Who out there thinks Ohio State got off easy with the NCAA obergruppenfuhrers?

  1. Joe Paterno injures his hip during practice when a player runs into him. He's got a hairline fracture and is expected to recover fully. Let's hope so, the sidelines wouldn't be the same Sept. 10 at home against Alabama if he wasn't there. What an atmosphere that will be!
    Get well Joe!
