From the publisher

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.

From the rear cover

Advance Praise for GAME DAY

"Seeing the college football world through Craig James's eyes is a treat for any fan of the game. After all, no one has a better perspective on this landscape than a guy who was not only a standout running back at SMU, but also played in a Super Bowl and then was the first star of ESPN's College GameDay. He has literally seen everything and met everyone while playing and covering the sport as it has evolved over the past twenty-five years. He's the perfect tour guide."
--Bruce Feldman, ESPN.com college football columnist and author of Meat Market: Inside the Smash-Mouth World of College Football Recruiting

"With Craig James, you always get opinion and insight in abundance--there's never a shortage of either. Add in a dash of sharp humor and a dollop of Texas charm, and you have one of the most unique personalities in college football. Viewing the season through his eyes is a real treat."
--Pat Forde, ESPN.com college sports columnist and author of Battle of the Bluegrass: Kentucky, Louisville, and College Basketball's Most Heated Rivalry

"As someone who is lucky enough to spend every college football Saturday with Craig, I can say I don't know anyone with as much passion not just for the sport but also for the entire culture of college football--the coaches, players, tradition, and most important, the fans. The fall is not just my time to share the stage with Craig but it's also a time to learn more from him about the game and have more fun watching college football than should be legal."
--John Saunders, ABC Sports and ESPN

"Craig is one of the most knowledgeable and entertaining college football analysts on television today, and I know no one can capture the essence and spirit of a college football season better than he can. "Game Day" is one heck of a book and a must-read for any college football fan from Florida to California and all stops in between."
--Doug Flutie
