About this audiobook
College Football is America's Game. The game has a rich history that is woven together with that of the nation which founded it. From the Civil War to the Steel Towns of the Midwest. From the Dust Bowls of The Great Depression to the battlefields of World War II. From The Civil Rights Movement to Campus Protests. From tragedy to 9/11. Whether you Roll Tide or you OH-IO. Whether you are a Michigan Man or a War Eagle. Whether you do the Gator Chomp or the Seminole Chop. This story is for you because it is our story. The story of College Football is The American Story.
