The Great Story of Georgia Bulldogs Football Ii

Brian Kelly

Description

This book is written for those of us who love Georgia Bulldogs Football and who cannot wait until our next win. There is no need to be impatient because as of 2022, Georgia is now at the top of the pack and the Bulldogs win big games all the time. Ask the others! In 2022, of course we all know, Georgia became the College Football Champions.
The founding of the University was in 1785 and before Georgia eventually played its first football game, the first book was read at UGA right after Abraham Baldwin of the University of Georgia drafted legislation that became the charter of the university. Georgia student life moved quickly as the first student organization was founded as the Demosthenian Literary Society was founded. The first commencement was held with Josiah Miggs, President presiding in 1804. For its first 50 years the school was known as Franklin College.
Soon after being established, Charles Herty got football going on campus in the fall of 1886 and UGA played its first intercollegiate football game. It took a while but in 1929, the school built its first stadium Sanford Stadium.
The rest of the college football is not necessarily thrilled that Georgia became so good, so fast, and now they are recognized as the best team in the nation. Georgia won its first National Championship in 1942. In 1980, Georgia repeated its national championship with freshman Herschel Walker leading the way. The Bulldogs remained a national powerhouse with a lot of close calls to greatness until 2022 when it again won another National Championship with a coach who was a great Georgia graduate. Go Bulldogs! This book captures the whole great story of Georgia football. It takes the reader through stories about Georgia’s great immortal coaches and great players over the years. You will not be able to put this book down.

Note from the author about photographs and permissions.
 
As you may know, for an author to be able to use pictures that are owned by a university such as UGA, he or she must obtain formal permission from the University. Publishers do not take this requirement lightly and cannot include pictures that are proprietary in a book without permission. This book was created with tons of pictures to make the reading experience more exciting and more enjoyable for Georgia fans. Unfortunately after trying for an extended period of time, we feared that we would miss the 2022 football season if we waited longer to publish this book.Regrettably, the publisher and your author could not get a response to our numerous requests for permission to use any of the pictures as we had planned when Brian Kelly wrote the book originally-- earlier this year. We regret this sincerely. However, the essence of this book is the many great football seasons played by the University of Georgia Bulldogs football team and though we surely regret not being able to use action pictures and stills for this book as planned, we still feel that this is a very worthwhile book and a great read for UGA football fans. We hope you enjoy it. Thank you very much for purchasing this book.
