But have no fear, loyal readers, because we have a few recommendations if you need your football fix, although they are of the college variety.
If you are looking for something to watch, Saturdays in the South: A History of SEC Football is well worth your time. The eight-part, 12-hour documetary from Emmy-winning director Fritz Mitchell traces the history of the best college football conference from its post Civil War beginnings up through Nick Saban’s reign at Alabama.
If reading is more your style, then check out Jay Busbee’s Iron in the Blood: How the Alabama vs. Auburn Rivalry Shaped the Soul of the South. The book chronicles the history of the Iron Bowl, with plent of familiar names along the way.
Now that we have your day settled, let’s turn our attention to the Cleveland Browns and the NFL in today’s edition of the Sunday Dawg Chow.
