There is no other person so singularly identified with the University of Georgia than Vince Dooley. During a quarter century as Georgia's football coach, Dooley led the Bulldogs to 201 victories, the 1980 national championship, and six SEC titles. With his disciplined coaching style and conservative game plans, Dooley introduced Georgia football to the rest of America. Before long, everyone was shouting:
"How 'Bout Them Dawgs!"
“The tradition and history of Georgia Football is what makes it a truly special place, and Mark Schlabach has done an exceptional job of capturing the essence of what has...and will continue to separate Georgia. From Georgia's great coaches like Wally Butts and Vince Dooley, to its famous players like Herschel Walker and Champ Bailey, to its traditions such as Larry Munson, Uga and the Silver Britches, this book has it all. It is a must have for any Bulldog Fan! Thank you Mark for bringing the memories of Georgia Football, both past and current, to our fingertips.”

Larry Munson's legendary calls became as famous as the English privet hedges that surround Sanford Stadium's playing field. From "Lindsay Scott! Lindsay Scott!" to "Hobnail Boot," Georgia fans will always remember where they were when they heard Munson's famous calls. For more than four decades, Munson was the voice of Georgia football. Georgia Football: Yesterday & Today™ relives Munson's legendary calls and the plays that made him famous.
Herschel Walker was a legend before he ever arrived at the University of Georgia. A soft-spoken son of a chalk-mine foreman, Walker was the most sought-after high school player in the country. By the time he was finished at Georgia, Walker broke 11 NCAA, 16 SEC, and 41 school records. But Walker is best remembered for leading the Bulldogs to the 1980 national championship as a freshman. Georgia Football: Yesterday & Today™ tells the story of how Walker became the greatest running back in college football history.
