Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
The very first SEC Football Program to be featured in the new, exciting, and completely original Sports by the Numbers series!
THE TEAM: The Georgia Bulldogs are the most beloved, tradition-rich football program in college athletics. Five national championships, two Heisman Trophy winners, 66 All-Americans, 360 All-SEC selections, winners of every major college playing honor, and party to three of the greatest football rivalries ever - The Deep South's Oldest Rivalry (Auburn), the World's Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party (Florida), and the Clean, Old-Fashioned Hate (Georgia Tech)- makes nearly every Bulldog game a bowl game. From the 'Dream and Wonder Team' to the Point-A-Minute Dawgs, from Dooley's Junkyard Dogs and the 'Wonderdogs,' to 'Tailback U' with the legendary Herschel Walker and Uga the Bulldog, to the new Golden Era of Mark Richt, it is all here. The Sports by the Numbers franchise unlocks the storied history of UGA football for anyone who wondered what it would be like to play Between the Hedges.
THE FORMAT: The presentation created by the authors distinguishes Sports by the Numbers from everything else available today. University of Georgia Football is composed of ten chapters, each offering one hundred numbered 'mini-stories'-facts, anomalies, records, coincidences, and enthralling lore and trivia. Each chapter begins with an introduction that highlights the many exciting stories detailed in that chapter.
INTERACTIVE: Numerical entries tagged with SBTN-All Star or SBTN-Hall of Fame logos are scattered throughout this book. These logos indicate that more information is available at our web site www.sportsbythenumbers.com. Readers and sports fans can then visit our site and participate in the SBTN blogs and conversations regarding those numbers, creating an interactive community.
Sports by the Numbers books are not just for diehard sports fans, but for every fan and sports history reader who loves sports and wants to know more about their heroes and favorite teams.
About the Authors: Daniel J. Brush, David Horne, and Marc CB Maxwell, also known as the Sports by the Numbers Guys, are the award-winning authors of the Sports by the Numbers series. Other titles include University of Oklahoma Football, New York Yankees, Major League Baseball, and NASCAR. Keith Gaddie is a professor at the University of Oklahoma, award-winning broadcast journalist, and author of eleven books.

Yes, all the great Georgia legends are in this book, including Larry Munson -- any fan of Georgia football will enjoy reading this book, which uses stats and numbers to tell stories about players, coaches, and personalities from all era's of Georgia football.

This book is about the Dawgs -- but it is also a great book that tells so many wonderful stories about the SEC in general that I think any fan of the conference would enjoy reading it. With a tribute to Larry Munson, profiles on guys like Herschel, and chapters laying out the bare facts on the greatest rivalry games on the schedule: Florida, Auburn, and Georgia Tech -- this book is required reading for the SEC sports fan, ESPECIALLY the Bulldawgs fans, of which there are legion!
Incidentally, this book is a series -- and this is the third one I have read -- I went out of my comfort zone and read an OU book, which really did a great job of capturing the importance of OU within the Big 12: UNIVERSITY OF OKLAHOMA FOOTBALL: An Interactive Guide to the World of Sports (Sports By the Numbers) -- any OU or Big 12 fans, or heck, just plain college football fans, check it out -- these are really fun books to read.

This is easily the best SEC book on the market. I own four of the Sports By The Numbers titles and this one did NOT disappoint. If you are a Bulldogs fan, you don't want to miss this one. Great gift idea for that hard to please DAWG!

I'm not a huge SEC fan (more of a Big 12 fan), but I got this book as a gift because I just love football. If you live or love Georgia Football or even College football, this book is for you. The book has 1,000 stories about Georgia Football, including 10 chapter intros about certain players, coaches, and places. But what's even better is that the books links you to the author's website for more written, audio, and video material. This is a great gift book, an easy read, and for every Dawg fan out there!

1,000 UGA facts, stats, and trivia in one book. Impossible? Guess again. The authors of this book did it and did it well. This is a MUST have book for all Georgia fans. Their ability to keep the reader engaged is fantastic. I couldn't put it down and read it in one sitting. I know what I'm getting all my friends for Christmas.
