This book rocks! The old photos are cool, the organization is clear and easy to follow. My dad and I read it together--he started in the 70 and told me about games he went to when he was at school, then whe talked about games we'd been together when when I was a kid, and games I went to when I was a college--the five-year plan. This is a great book, lots of good pics, and easy to follow. Get it for you dad or yourself and you'll have something to read during the commercials during the season.
Georgia VS. Georgia Tech:Gridiron Grudge Since 1893
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
"It's been said that football is the secular religion of the south. If so, then the gridiron grudge between the University of Georgia and The Georgia Institue of Technology is nothing less than a genesis myth, the creation of good and evil." (Georgia VS. Georgia Tech) Whom you believe to be good or evil depends on the sideyou're on. The Georgia VS Georgia Tech rivalry is alive and well in our state, enduring over one hundred years. Equipment and rules have been subject to change. The emotional intensity has not. In Georgia VS. Georgia Tech, John Cnadler Griffin describes the growth of this college-based conflict from just a game to its modern-day frenzy. Beginning with their first contest in 1893, he presents the players and the plays that fostered this fierce tradition. Georgia VS. Georgia is more than a historical chronology. It is an entertaining analysis of an ongoing football phenomenon. Richly illustrated with over a thousand rare photographs, the book is painstakingly researched and superbly written.
