It is college football season and a slew of books about college football have been released for sports fan to read. A Chicago Sports article mentions three books of interest to college football fantatics.

College football coaches, take note: Three recently released books about your sport are way more valuable than any playbook.



Sports Illustrated’s Austin Murphy chronicles the emotional swings of the 2006 season in “Saturday Rules,” SI.com’s Stewart Mandel separates the B.S. from the BCS in “Bowls, Polls & Tatteruddy Souls” and ESPN.com’s Bruce Feldman shines a light on the often cold, cryptic business of college football recruiting in “Meat Market.”

Those three books sound interesting but the most fascinating collegefootball book out this season has to be Bo’s Lasting Lessons: A Legendary Coach Teaches the Timeless Fundamentals of Leadership by Michigan coach Bo Schembechler and former Detroit News reporter John U. Bacon.



Bo Schembechler just finished the book a week before he died last year at age 77. The book is a local bestseller in Michigan’s hometown of Ann Arbor. It might offer some comfort to Michigan’s fans enduring a tough football season that includes an embarrassing loss to Appalachian State.
