Greatest football books

[stokke]

I know it is the 21st century but some people still read. What is the greatest football book of all time? I will say Friday Night Lights.

I agree about Friday Night Lights being an awesome book. The Feinstein book about the Army/Navy rivalry is also a good read. My all-time favorite though is "Let's tackle each other baby!"

I agree about with the Army/Navy book. I also like Dennis Byrd's "Rise Up and Walk"

The book Friday Night Lights is by far the greatest football book that shares the atmosphere of high school football. The book of the Army/Navy rivalry is a look into the special rivalry of our service academies. It takes special young men and ladies to seek the appointments alone, but to play for one is quite an honor as well. This book really looks into that special game.

Quote book of Bear Bryant

"I Ain't never been nothin' but a winner."

A very good pre game relaxation piece.
