Since 2001 the Patriots have played in eight Super Bowl
championships and won five, a run of excellence unparalleled in all
of professional sports. In a league designed to ensure that no one
franchise can dominate over time, New England won for over a decade
and a half. A dynasty that began with an improbable run to a
championship in 2001 has rebuilt, rebooted, and retooled several
times over, winning most recently in 2017. But in those years, no
other franchise reached the same level of controversy, drama, and
turmoil-or even came close. Jerry Thornton, bestselling author of
From Darkness to Dynasty, provides an all-access pass to the
Patriots' years of unparalleled greatness from the unique
perspective of an observant, obsessive, utterly dedicated fan.
A vital part of any southern football fan's personal library, SEC
Football's Greatest Games is both engaging and comprehensive; a
collection that contextualizes readers' favorite games while
introducing them to important moments they never knew existed.
Broken down into "The Games That Changed the South"; "The Iron
Bowl"; "Hail Mary and Other Prayers"; "The Classics"; "Atlanta,
Here We Come"; and "Championship Moments" . . . this book covers a
century-plus of Southern football through games covered with depth,
outstanding photography, and fascinating sidebars. Every entry
takes the reader through history with the matchups that healed a
South stripped of its pride, made coaches like Bear Bryant and Nick
Saban regional heroes, forced the sport to change, created
superstars, crowned champions, and revolutionized football.
