Description

An all-access pass into the powerhouse teams and passionate fanbases of the legendary Southeastern Conference, from one of the most influential men in college football: ESPN’s Paul Finebaum.

Proud owner of 14 prestigious college football programs, producing seven consecutive national championships, twelve NFL first round draft choices, and a budget that crushes the GDP of Samoa, the Southeastern Conference collects the most coveted ratings, rankings, and revenue of any conference in college football. With its pantheon of illustrious alumni like Bear Bryant, Herschel Walker, Peyton Manning, and Nick Saban, the SEC is the altar at which millions of Americans worship every Saturday, from Texas to Kentucky to Florida.

If the SEC is a religion, its deity is radio talk-show host Paul Finebaum. In My Conference Can Beat Your Conference, Finebaum, chronicles the rise of the SEC and his own unlikely path to college football fame. Finebaum offers his blunt wisdom on everything from Joe Paterno and the Penn State scandal to the relevancy of Alabama quarterback AJ McCarron’s girlfriend, and chronicles the best of his beloved callers, and the worst of his haters.

Proud owner of 14 prestigious college football programs, producing seven consecutive national championships, twelve NFL first round draft choices, and a budget that crushes the GDP of Samoa, the Southeastern Conference collects the most coveted ratings, rankings, and revenue of any conference in college football.

      • content:

        September 1, 2014

        Longtime radio personality and current ESPN college football analyst Finebaum, with the help of veteran sportswriter and fellow ESPN contributor Wojciechowski, offers an entertaining mix of autobiography, analysis, and history of Southeastern Eastern Conference (SEC) football--as well as silly braggadocio about his beloved SEC. The book is organized around the 2013 season, with each week's matchups and results serving as a springboard for Finebaum to veer off in a variety of directions, some humorous and others serious, not unlike his former radio program. Over the course of this breezy, fast-paced book, Finebaum shares his thoughts on all 14 SEC programs and comments on the biggest stories of the 2013 season, including Johnny Manziel's attempt at a second Heisman Trophy and the unforgettable ending to that year's Alabama-Auburn rivalry game. The fiery Finebaum is at his best when he tones down the humor and tells touching stories of his early days in sports broadcasting, shares behind-the-scenes stories of the ESPN set, and pays tribute to a colorful cast of radio show callers who helped him rise from small-market anonymity to celebrity status. VERDICT This blatant tie-in with the launch of ESPN's SEC Network is recommended as light reading for college football fans.--Douglas King, Univ. of South Carolina Lib., Columbia
