Game Day: A Rollicking Journey to the Heart of College Football
The popular college football analyst weighs in on the craziness of college football and the 2008 season
If television's college football analysts had a Hall of Fame, Craig James would definitely be in it. His opinion and insight on ABC and ESPN-not to mention occasional jabs of sharp humor and Texas charm-are as addictive as the games are.
Game Day takes a complete inside look at the 2008 college football season-from James's behind-the-scenes Spring Tour when he met with players and coaches from twenty top programs to the bowl season. He makes the book timeless by using the season as a springboard to tell tons of great college football stories from his twenty years spent covering the sport .
- Captures twenty years of unforgettable college football wit and wisdom from his time as a player at SMU and for the New England Patriots through his time in the booth
- Includes details about most of the top twenty programs around the country
- Covers the game the way only James can ("No one can capture the essence and spirit of a college football season better than Craig."-Doug Flutie)
No matter what team you support or how well they did in 2008, if you love college football, Game Day is a book you just have to read.

About the author
CRAIG JAMES is a former NFL running back and college football broadcaster with more than twenty years of experience covering the sport. He is the author of Game Day: A Rollicking Journey to the Heart of College Football.
James played running back for the SMU Mustangs as part of the "Pony Express" backfield alongside Eric Dickerson, went on to play for the New England Patriots, and appeared in Super Bowl XX.
