Go inside the astounding and, at times, appalling stories of the mid-1970s University of Georgia football teams like you've never seen, or heard, before.

In the mid-'70s, the University of Georgia football team caused quite a stir off the field. Several players had encounters with the manipulative "Godfather of Pro Wrestling" and his money-for-sex scheme. A careless prank aboard a team-chartered airplane resulted in a bomb scare and an FBI inquiry. The mysterious death of a standout teammate in 1976 remained unsolved for decades. Despite it all, a valiant and tenacious head coach and his acclaimed "Junkyard Dogs" defied the odds and developed a celebrated championship team. UGA football writer and historian Patrick Garbin, using extensive interviews with former players and coaches, delivers a true tale of sex, drugs and wild debauchery in college football.

Industry Reviews

"From a cultural standpoint, the 1970s were a wildly carefree time like no other decade.And the wild times apparently included quite a few University of Georgia football players, some who purportedly brushed shoulders with gamblers, partied naked and practiced physical hazing.Bishop author and sportswriter Patrick Garbin delves into those days at UGA through the memories of one of its former players, Steve "Shag" Davis, a high school phenom quarterback who morphed into a modest wide receiver for the Bulldogs and played on two of its best teams of the 1970s."
