Auburn alum Paul Hemphill tells the story of Auburn football from the first game, coached by the legendary George Petrie, through the team’s growth and development into the national force it is today. Hemphill records the many highs and occasional lows, and the jubilation and heartbreak each caused, noting the standouts great and small along the way. No fan, whether devoted or casual, can afford to miss this riveting account of the Plainsmen’s journey from the very beginning to today, which is the record of a great university as well as the story of the development of a great football team.
