Publisher's Synopsis
Award-winning journalist Mark Schlabach uses the 2008 college football season as a lens for telling the remarkable story of the Georgia Bulldogs' program and its fascinating history.
The moment has never been better for the UGA Bulldogs as they enter the season ranked #1 by many in preseason polls. But to find out how the Bulldogs have come to be on the cusp of such success, you have to examine the rich history and incredible depth of the Georgia football program--from the wealth of alums who have gone on to become NFL stars, to the bright potential of two current players with their eyes on the Heisman Trophy; from the legendary, century-old rivalries, to the inspirational Head Coach Mark Richt, who is admired as much for how he lives his life off the field as for what his teams have done on it. Here, veteran journalist Mark Schlabach tells the story of the Bulldogs program through the eyes of Georgia's players, coaches, and opponents, through the hearts of the school's rabid fans, and through the recollections of so many of the characters who helped make Georgia football one of the greatest traditions in all of American sports. Like the nationally bestselling Rammer Jammer Yellow Hammer and the acclaimed Rose Bowl Dreams, Glory, Glory provides an intimate and poignant look at the personalities and history of this compelling program.
