Preseason Publications

While college football provides year-round entertainment and grist for gossip among many fans, the month of June really kicks off the countdown to the coming season.

That's because the always popular preseason publications are available at your favorite magazine stand.

If you are one of those fans that grew up enjoying the pocket sized Peek's Guide or waiting for the slick and shiny new Street and Smith's every summer, you know the great fun yearbooks provide.

A relative newcomer to the field arrives this week from the The Kickoff, a venerable weekly publication covering college football from the Chattanooga area since 1951. Owner/publisher Bill Hope and editor Jim Gumm just wrapped up their second preseason annual. It's an attractive and informative yearbook (for which I was proud to contribute the SEC preview section) and I encourage you to find a copy at your local news stand or order online by clicking on the link above or picture below.

As your budget allows, please support college football publishers by purhasing the preseason annuals.
