My Conference Can Beat Your Conference: Why the SEC Still Rules College Football
Autor Paul Finebaum, Gene Wojciechowskien Limba Engleză Paperback – 24 aug 2015
Proud owner of 14 prestigious college football programs, producing seven consecutive national championships, twelve NFL first round draft choices, and a budget that crushes the GDP of Samoa, the Southeastern Conference collects the most coveted ratings, rankings, and revenue of any conference in college football. With its pantheon of illustrious alumni like Bear Bryant, Herschel Walker, Peyton Manning, and Nick Saban, the SEC is the altar at which millions of Americans worship every Saturday, from Texas to Kentucky to Florida.
If the SEC is a religion, its deity is radio talk-show host Paul Finebaum. In My Conference Can Beat Your Conference, Finebaum, chronicles the rise of the SEC and his own unlikely path to college football fame. Finebaum offers his blunt wisdom on everything from Joe Paterno and the Penn State scandal to the relevancy of Alabama quarterback AJ McCarron’s girlfriend, and chronicles the best of his beloved callers, and the worst of his haters.

And it doesn't matter whether fans love or hate him—they tune in regardless. With My Conference Can Beat Your Conference, fans and enemies of Paul Finebaum will be given an all-access pass to the teams and fan bases of the country's most celebrated conference.
