Top Dawg is the inside story of how Georgia Football returned to dominate the SEC with new life and new fire.
Mediocrity followed the Georgia Bulldogs for two decades after the departure of Heisman Trophy winner Herschel Walker. Meanwhile, a bright young leader was learning his craft just over the Florida line. Top Dawg is a story of tradition and of a tactician and how when the two converged the result was the emergence of the Georgia football program as one of the nation's top programs. After a powerful 2007 season, capped by a Sugar Bowl victory, Georgia is slated to start the 2008 season ranked in the top five. Top Dawg is the story of Georgia's return to glory with input from the players, coaches, and insiders. Filled with highlights, important games, the behind-the-scenes stories, Top Dawg will be a must read for every Georgia fan.

A great story of the right man for the right program
Rob Suggs' central theme - that the right man came to Georgia football at the right time - is demonstrated ably in this well-written and timely book. This isn't just a rehash of Georgia football and Mark Richt. The author talks about his own personal anecdotes briefly in an introduction, which should ring true with Dawg fans, but he follows with very interesting parallels between the fall and rise of Georgia football following the Herschel Walker years, and the eerily corresponding fall and rise of Mark Richt's personal life and career.
I don't want to write too many details, but I'll say that ours is a lucky fanbase. We had a Lewis Grizzard writing for us. We have had a Jack Davis drawing for us. Now, we have another gifted professional bringing us a book that he's written as both professional and fan. It's one we all wish we could write. If you're a Georgia Bulldog, this book needs to be on your shelf.
Great Writer Writing About a Great Man!
The ideal combination - a wonderful storyteller in Rob Suggs telling a wonderful story - the rejuvenation of Georgia's football program under Mark Richt. As a football fan I was naturally drawn to this book, but it is more than just a football story - it is the story of one man's odyssey from his (occasionally misspent) youth to his - sorry to use an old cliche - rendezvous with destiny in Athens, GA. No one but Suggs could tell the story so well!
BEST UGA FOOTBALL BOOK!
Great story of the history of UGA football during the Mark Richt era. Not only a story of great football, but a story of creating good men.
