than ever! The book's statistics on every team, coach and player
have been updated to reflect totals leading into the 2008 season. "A
Tailgater's Guide To SEC Football," which was featured on the 2003
History Channel documentary "Tailgating" with comedian Tom Arnold,
has been called "The Bible of SEC Football." It has everything you
need to know about the nation's toughest football conference...
Do you know the interesting story behind how each SEC school
acquired its mascot, colors and nickname(s)? Do you know where to go
to eat or drink when you travel to watch your team play in
Gainesville or Athens or Baton Rouge? Do you know or have the words
to your school’s alma mater and fight song? What about a tailgating
recipe--do you have one for the big game? If not, don’t fret,
because it’s all inside "A Tailgater’s Guide To SEC Football" by Dr.
Chris Warner.
For tailgating aficianados there are authentic Cajun recipes,
named after each SEC institution like "Crimson
Tide Seafood Gumbo," "Death Valley Crawfish Etoufee,'" "Rebel Red
Beans & Rice" and "Jordan-Hare Shrimp & Okra Stew" among others!
SEC Football is the paragon of the college athletic experience. No
other conference has produced as many All-Americans and national
championships. The Southeastern Conference today boasts more
attendance records than any other conference. This book details the
rich history and traditions of each of the SEC’s twelve member
schools.
A History of Tailgating
As early as college football’s first sanctioned game between Rutgers
and Princeton in 1869, food and the pigskin went hand in hand.
During the earliest contests it was customary for spectators of both
teams to engage in a wild fish and game supper before the contest
and then once again after it was over.
This book is the ultimate gift for the serious SEC Fan!
From the Publisher
The most comprehensive book on SEC Football ever written. A sure-
fire collector's item for the avid SEC fan or alumni.
From the Author
"In the South, people don’t think, they feel…and there’s nothing
they feel more passionate about than college football…especially for
the fans of the SEC schools. SEC fans plan their tailgate parties
weeks and sometimes months in advance! The University of Georgia
recently began selling lifetime tailgating slots outside Sanford
stadium for $20,000 apiece…tailgating has never been bigger in the
Deep South!" - Chris Warner
"Tailgating is the last great American neighborhood…the last great
free-for-all! It has taken the place of the county fair as the most-
anticipated community event." – Chris Warner
"College football in the South has been and remains the grand
redeemer of a social pride once lost. Football gave the post Civil
War-torn South something to latch on to and make theirs. It gave
them an immediate opportunity to avenge on the gridiron their
battlefield losses." – Chris Warner
From the Inside Flap
Southeastern Conference football is the paragon of the college
athletic experience. During its storied, seventy-one year existence,
the SEC has evolved into the most impressive league of organized,
intercollegiate gridiron competition in the history of the United
States. No other Division I football-playing conference can boast of
the many accolades and attendance records that the SEC currently
holds. Furthermore, the SEC has has produced more All-American
football players than any other conference.
