Tailgate Testaments & Half-Truths

From the author of Pregame Prayers & Tailgate Tales, a 2024 IBPA Awards Silver Winner

After finally winning back-to-back national titles, Georgia football fans have finally seen a great light. In Tailgate Testaments & Half-Truths, Charlie English recounts the long, winding trek through the darkness Bulldog fans took to get there. Written in the same, irreverent style as his first book Pregame Prayers & Tailgate Tales, English again captures the pageantry of Saturdays in the South, spanning selected contests from 2013 to 2020. 

With his glass of bourbon always in hand and tongue planted firmly in cheek, the Southern humorist details all of the tipped passes and deflected Hail Marys that the program suffered through during the years leading up to the team’s eventual championships in 2021 and 2022. While those two seasons were especially sweet because of the decades-long drought until that magical run, Tailgate Testaments & Half-Truths chronicles all of the near-misses that drove every fan to drink on the way there. 

Tailgate Testaments & Half-Truths is a must-have accessory for every Bulldog fan, alongside their Ray-Bans and red Solo cups.
