Starts at the first football game and goes to the Kirby Smart era. The book is written for those of us who love Georgia Bulldogs Football and who cannot wait until our next win. There is no need to be impatient-as of 2022, Georgia is now at the top of the pack and win the big games all the time. Ask the others. Georgia is the College Football Champions.

The book first tells the story about The State's Premier University's founding in 1785 and eventually gets to the first football game ever. The university's first football team and its first season come a little later. Back in 1785, the first book was about to be read at UGA as Abraham Baldwin of the University of Georgia drafted legislation that became the charter of the university.

Georgia student life moved quickly as the first student organization was founded as the Demosthenian Literary Society was founded. The first commencement was held with Josiah Miggs. President presiding in 1804. For its first 50 years the school was known as Franklin College.

Soon after being established, Charles Herty got football going on campus in the fall of 1886 and UGA played its first intercollegiate football game. It took a while but in 1929, the school built its first stadium - Sanford Stadium.

Georgia played its first football game on January 25, 1892 in Athens GA against Mercer University. Then, about a month later on February 20, UGA took off to Atlanta to play Auburn's Tigers.

The rest of college football is not necessarily thrilled that Georgia had become so good, so fast has remained the best team in the nation. Despite their disfavor, in head to head battles, the opponents rarely win. Georgia has always been good. It won its first National Championship in 1942. In 1980, it repeated its national championship with freshman Herschel Walker leading the way.

Georgia remained a powerhouse with a lot of close calls to greatness until 2022 when it again won a National Championship with a coach who was a great Georgia graduate--Kirby Smart Go Bulldogs!

This book captures the whole great story of Georgia football It takes the reader through stories about Georgia's great immortal coaches such as W A Cunningham, Harry Mehre, Mark Richt, Wally Butts, and the king of the greatest coaches, Vince Dooley, and of course the Emperor in waiting, Kirby Smart. The book often stops in time and talks about a particular player such as Fran Tarkenton, Herschel Walker, Jake Scott, Terry Hoage, David Pollack, Charley Trippi , and Frank Sinkwicz and of course Stetson Bennett IV.
