OT- Book Learnin
We're in peak offseason, so I figure now is a good time to catch up on some reading. Specifically books as they relate to College Football. What's some suggestions for the hardcore fan?
Some of mine:
1. 4th and Long- John U Bacon
2. The Meat Market- Bruce Feldman
3. The System- Jeff Benedict and Armen Keteyian.
Worst:
1. That horseshit book Rosenberg published.
Anyone else have any favorites?
I know it's not football but this is my summer read and it's been very entertaining.
The First Family Detail: Secret Service Agents Reveal the Hidden Lives of the Presidents.

Did you really hate Rosenberg's book or are you just saying that because of the articles he wrote?
I happened to really enjoy the book (I didn't know much about that era at the time). I am of course upset over how he treated the program afterwards, but I don't let that affect my appreciation of his book.
So are you still buying a car from the dealer who slept with your wife? He can get you a great deal...
was a cum dumpster of already written information. Like literally everything in there could have been found in another Woody and Bo book. There was no point to it. And I hate it doubley as much because of the articles he wrote. I'm biased, sue me.
Easy and very good read...2 days max.
If you are going outside of the football realm, check out any of Lee Child's Jack Reacher tales. Great books! Unfortunately, they casted Tom Cruise to play the part in the movie. Jack Reacher = BAD A$$...Tom Cruise = Candy A$$
I say this every time someone asks about M books. It's a great read about Benny Friedman, a Michigan great that too many of us know nothing about.
This is a very good, little known book about (my opinion) the most important player in the history of the game.
"If I Don't Six" by Elwood Reid.
Just a great read about football, adjusting to college, and even a bit of philosophy.
