College Football Mags Hitting Stores

[ralaw]

I remember when I use to buy a bunch of college football magazines. I did it mostly for NCAA Football to name my draft classes, but I also enjoyed reading them...over and over again. However, I haven't bought one in probably 5 years now.

Caught Athlon's SEC Edition.

Same ol', same ol' but the opinion piece on NCAA inconsistancy with punishing athletes, coaches and universities was interesting.

Just picked up Athlon's BIG 10 preview.

Still waiting for Phil Steele's, though.

I'm the same way...have issues from 04 to 09 but skipped out last year. Might pick Athlon's up again though this time around.

I think I have every Phil Steele from like 03 to 08 before I kinda stopped caring about college football. That shit was like reading an encyclopedia.

I'm patiently waiting for my store to get this:

yea I'm going out to the store soon to see what my store has. It is something nice to read during the off season and until NCAA 12 comes.

Did the same thing. I remember one year buying every one of Athlons off the net, so I could name my rosters (before OS.com).

I need to head over to chapters

 

[FedEx227]

All about Phil Steele.

 

[Sven Draconian]

I think I've read every phil steele since '07. I read the whole thing for the Big 10 and the MAC. Most of the SEC and the service academies. Then I'll read all of Michigan's opponents. I usually end up reading the last column/summary for each team by the end of the season.

 

[LiquidLarry2GhostWF]

I like Phil Steele, the problem is, you can cut out 70% of the volume of the magazine if you just cut out the same shit he writes from year-to-year which is how awesome his predictions were over the years and the too wordy and numbery history on each team. Just too much shit I don't want to filter through while I'm reading it on a treadmill. Its a good mag, just way too much unnecessary shit.

 

[Senser81]

I prefer Jim Feist's preview...

 

[NAHSTE]

I am a loyal Phil Steele reader, have bought his preview for the last five years, but I agree with Larry. He spends 50 or so pages congratulating himself on every prediction he's ever made ("Ohio State was my #8 sleeper in 2002!" "I was the only magazine who predicted LSU to win the SEC in 2003!").

Still a must have for any college football junkie though.

Have you heard him on the radio......exact same.

I used to buy a bunch of these mags and read them all year long on the shitter. But with the increasingly shittier EA game and frustrations over THE CARTEL, I just can't invest myself in CFB anymoe. I feel like I'm watching for nothing, because the postseason provides no payoff.
