I know it’s not a deep subject, but I like to have a good sports book to read while I also have something a bit more in-depth going.

I’ve read the typical ones:

It Never Rains in Tiger Stadium
Cane Mutiny
Bootlegger’s Boy
the John U. Bacon Michigan books
St Bobby and the Barbarians
Clay Travis Tennessee book

I’m just seeing if anything has a fresh recommendation for me. Thanks

I’ve read this. Outside of it, I haven’t read a sports book since elementary school.

Meat Market by Bruce Feldman. Focusses on Ed Orgeron while he was at Ole Miss.

Bear: The Hard Life & Good Times of Alabama's Coach Bryant

Pretty sure this is the one I've read and have at home. He gives a shout out to my family's hometown Boligee, AL. He talks about how there used to be no recruiting rules, they would hear of a player unhappy at UT or somewhere and Bear said "we'd basically kidnap them and take them to a fishing camp in Boligee until they committed"

This book is LSU focused, but was pretty good

The Thin Thirty by Shannon Ragland about the scandal around the 1962 Kentucky Football team is a good one.

It's old but one of my faves is Saturday Afternoon Madness.

May not even be available any more
