If your heart beats faster on Saturday afternoons as your team takes the field, this book will give you new insight into the fanaticism and chaos that characterize college football today. Stewart Mandel takes a provocative, hard-hitting look at the hot-button issues: the controversial BCS; the polls and their largely arbitrary rankings; the ego-inflating recruiting craze; cheating and recent scandals; the huge pressures and salaries heaped on coaches; the Heisman hype-fest; the NFL draft; the clunky conference expansions; privileged Notre Dame, college football's greatest juggernaut; and the proliferation of bowl games. You'll get behind-the-scenes insights on how the issues evolved and why some are almost impossible to resolve in a book that's as entertaining, passionate, and thought-provoking as the game itself.

Stylish comfort you can wear all day!
Size: 6.5, Color: Chestnut
My wife has been been wearing the UGG Goldenstar Sandals for a few weeks now, and they’ve totally exceeded expectations. These sandals strike the perfect balance between comfort and style, and she’s gotten so many compliments on them!
Pros:
• Super Comfortable: The cushioned footbed feels like walking on clouds. Perfect for long days on your feet or casual outings.
• Lightweight: Unlike some chunky sandals, these are surprisingly light but still feel supportive and well-made.
• Adjustable Straps: The Velcro straps make it easy to get the perfect fit, and they’re great for swelling feet after a long day.
• Versatile Style: They look great with everything—from jeans and shorts to casual dresses.
• High-Quality Materials: Typical UGG quality—durable suede and solid construction.
Cons:
• Suede Requires Care: The upper is suede, so they’re not ideal for wet conditions and do need a bit of maintenance to keep looking fresh.
• Pricey: They’re on the higher end cost-wise, but I’d say the comfort and quality justify the price.
I’m really happy with these sandals. They’re a perfect mix of fashion and function, and I’d definitely buy them again in another color!

Best Sandal Ever
There is nothing about these that I don't LOVE. These are so comfortable and look so good. I have 6 pairs in every color. They r my absolute favorite. Run true to size. Listen to Amazon about sizing. They know... I am between size 7 and 7.5 and they recommended 7 and it was a perfect fit. I have not had any issues with the Velcro closure. Amazon has the best prices for UGGS.

Sandals that go with just about everything.
As a lover of everything Ugg, these didn't disappoint. They are some of the most comfortable shoes I have, very lightweight, and go with just about everything. They remind me of the old school Dr. Martens and I had a massive collection of those in high school. I have worn them quite a bit and you can barely tell as they are holding up extremely well.
