Editor's Notes and Comments:

Product Description:


There is no college ball more passionate and competitive than football in the Southeastern Conference, where seven of the twelve schools boast stadiums bigger than any in the NFL and 6.5 million fans hit the road every year to hoot and holler their teams to victory.



In September 2006, popular sports columnist and lifelong University of Tennessee fan Clay Travis set out on his 'Dixieland Delight Tour.' Without a single map, hotel reservation, or game ticket, he began an 8,000-mile journey through the beating heart of the Southland. As Travis toured the SEC, he immersed himself in the bizarre game-day rituals of the common fan, brazenly dancing with the chancellor's wife at a Vanderbilt frat party, hanging with University of Florida demigod quarterback Tim Tebow, and abandoning himself totally to the ribald intensity and religious fervor of SEC football. Dixieland Delight is Travis's hilarious, loving, irreverent, and endlessly entertaining chronicle of a season of ironic excess in a world that goes a little crazy on football Saturdays.

User popularity level:  out of 5 stars

Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Great to Travel the SEC
his book is a wonderful adventure through the various stadiums of the SEC Conference. One man, who is a passionate University of Tennessee fan travels across the South to visit every stadium. He takes part in all the festivities like the tailgate party, the after party, and any particular tradition that the home team has. He is a superb writer as the narrative flows with ever easiness and comical breath. This man who is a Vanderbilt law school graduate invites friends, family, and his wife along for the adventure. He logs hundreds of miles throughout the South in his search for college football. If you love college football, and especially the SEC this book is a joy to read. As I love going to Knoxville to watch the Vols, as I survey the field before the stadium fills, and as I hit the hands of the players on the Vol walk, I love as Clay Travis loves, the college football experience.



Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - A Great Journey Thru the Greatest Institution in the US.
I loved this book alot. It really made me miss home and my alma mater, the Vols. Hits all the right notes in looking at fandom in the SEC from both the critical light, while still being written by a dyed-in-the-wool fan of the greatest conference in the NCAA.



Rated by buyers 3 out of 5 stars - Dixieland Delight review
I purchased this book as a Christmas gift for a friend with whom I go to University of Georgia games. I was unaware that he bought the same book for me as a Christmas gift. I enjoyed the book a great deal. It is written by a Tennessee Vols fan but I thought the book was as unbiased as any book can be when written by a huge fan from an opposing school. I thought it was a very easy read and would recommend it for any college football fan.



Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - get this for boyfriend, husband, any male or female who likes football
This is a good book even if you don't like football. If you wonder why your boyfriend, husband or anyone is so crazy about football, especially SEC football, read this book and find out. Its not just the game, but the places, the people and the camaraderie that surround this southern tradition. Entertaining, easy read.



Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Not Recomended for female florida fans
This is a very funny book, but I would not recommend this book to any female Florida fan.
