How ’Bout Them Dawgs! tells the behind-the-scenes story of the
University of Georgia’s 2021 college football national
championship season from the perspective of the man in charge:
Kirby Smart. In addition to offering his perspective on coaching,
his defensive philosophy, the importance of recruiting, each of the
fifteen games, and the celebrations that followed the last one,
Coach Smart also tells a bit of his own story that started in
Slapout, Alabama, in 1975 and ended at the height of the college
football world on a January night in Indianapolis. From the
opening-game victory over perennial-power Clemson University to the
undefeated march through the mighty SEC to the discouraging loss to
the University of Alabama in the SEC Championship Game to the
Dawgs’ eventual triumph over that same familiar foe in
Indianapolis, Coach Smart and Loran Smith team up to provide an
intimate look at the first team to win a college football national
championship at the University of Georgia in more than four
decades. Vince Dooley, the last head coach to lead UGA to a college
football national championship in 1980, and Jere W. Morehead, the
president of the University of Georgia, offer their unique insights
on the historic 2021 season and the elite team that made it happen
as well. Featuring the profiles and recollections of players,
coaches, and support staff—and handsomely illustrated with more
than 100 never-before-seen photographs—How ’Bout Them Dawgs! is
a unique keepsake for Dawg fans everywhere.
In 1982 Dorothy H. Jordan founded Camp Sunshine to provide children
with cancer a safe, normal childhood experience, to show them that
others share their challenges, and to help them find community and
support. In 1983 approximately forty campers between the ages of
seven and eighteen attended the first summer camp, held in the
north Georgia mountains. Thirty-five years later, more than four
hundred campers attended the 2018 summer camp, and several hundred
more children and family members participated in more than 150
additional recreational, educational, and supportive Camp Sunshine
programs held throughout the year in metro Atlanta, Savannah, and
other areas of Georgia. Today Camp Sunshine, a nonprofit
organization, has hundreds of dedicated volunteers who help the
leadership staff of the camp with its multiple year-round programs,
as well as pediatric oncology nurses and other medical
professionals who take care of the campers' medical needs while
they attend those programs. It's Like Heaven documents the story of
the first thirty-five years of Camp Sunshine through the voices of
campers, their nurses, counselors, and other volunteers. Each
chapter is a former camper's first-person story about childhood
cancer and the Camp Sunshine journey, followed by reflections on
the camper's experience by the camper's nurse or another member of
the camp community, creating a unique narrative of each camper's
struggle and path toward healing. Every story includes photos of
both the camper and the camper's mentor as well as several photos
that illustrate the connections, bonds, and strength of community
created through Camp Sunshine.
