The beginning of the University of Alabama’s rise to one of the all-time winningest programs in the history of college football started with a diminuative sportswriter from Cleveland, Ohio named Xen C. Scott.  In the Fall of 1919 he went south to start a seasonal job as head football coach at  Alabama.  During his four season tenure, he laid the foundation that would transform the school’s football program from a moderately successful regional program to one of the greatest programs in the country. Because of his contributions to the rise of Alabama Crimson Tide football, Scott will always be remembered as a damn good Yankee.

Here's What Former NFL Players Think About "THE ULTIMATE GAME" “(THE ULTIMATE GAME) reads as if Tom Clancy hijacked Monday Night Football; it’s that cutting edge.” – Joe Kapp; Super Bowl Quarterback and CFL Hall of Fame Inductee “THE ULTIMATE GAME puts the sport of professional football in a futuristic setting and tells a tale of what technology could one day allow. It’s a positive, exciting thrill-ride for all ages. It’s a frightening and intriguing look at how the game could be manipulated.” – Dan Pastorini; Pro Bowl Quarterback “I cheer Kevin (Bakko) for writing a fast moving, fun, futuristic novel that thoroughly entertained me. And he found no need to load the book with the smut that has been filling most sports books to date.” – Phil Villapiano; Super Bowl Champion Linebacker “If John Grisham and Issac Asimov got together to write a novel about pro football – this is what they would write. You have to read it to believe it!” – Jeff Nixon; Former Player, and Editor / Nat’l Advocacy Committee Member of ‘Fourth and Goal Assists’ “Kevin Bakko does a great job of conveying the spirit of the players and their drive to be the World Champions of NFL football. He also points out the price that players pay to play in the NFL both mentally and physically.” – Carl Mauck; Thirty-Four Year NFL Veteran Player and Assistant Coach “THE ULTIMATE GAME is a book that honors the NFL alumnus of yesterday, today, and tomorrow.” – George Martin; Super Bowl Champion Defensive End and President of the NFL Alumni Association IMAGINE THE MOST TECHNOLOGICALLY ADVANCED VIDEO FOOTBALL GAME EVER CREATED. IMAGINE SOME OF THE GREATEST PRO PLAYERS TO EVER STEP ON THE GRIDIRON AT THE CONTROLS. NOW IMAGINE BOTH, MANIPULATING A REAL NFL FOOTBALL TEAM… WITHOUT THEIR KNOWLEDGE… WITHOUT THEIR CONSENT. 2019 is the 100th Anniversary of the National Football League, and the Houston Texans have just won their second Super Bowl in a row. Now comes their quest for an unprecedented third consecutive trip to the championship game. Yet accomplishing this extraordinary feat will not be left to either dutiful preparation or divine providence. A glory-driven head coach (Walt Griffin) and a narcissistic neuroscientist in need of human guinea pigs (Dr. John McLane) have combined forces to reach the final phase of their respective life’s ambition. But murder, mayhem, and the pursuit of answers to gut-wrenching questions are driving veteran All-Pro quarterback Rod Mackenna to make sense of the resulting toll that has been taken by his team, his teammates, and his long – but no longer – unrequited love interest. On the day of the Super Bowl – with the final piece to an unimaginable puzzle firmly in his grasp – Griffin and McLane catch Mac within the confines of the clandestine command center used by their band of former gridiron heroes to control the active players, on-the-field, like a macabre video game. Only the threat of harm to his (now) fiancée keeps Mac on the sideline with a bogus injury as the final contest of the season kicks off.

"The Fifth Down is a terse, yet comprehensive, gathering of highly individualistic, and often philosophical or provocative maxies, about football, winning, teamwork, life and 'other things.' Be it a sentence or paragraph, Chuck Mills shows great talent for saying meaningful things in a concise and memorable manner. Here is a highly personal document containing the essence of the author and his football career. Its warmth, humor and perceptions make it a great book."

& n b s p ; & nbsp;          The reason I wrote this book about black quarterbacks being underrated and some being denied the opportunity to play as quarterbacks in the NFL is because of how people still perceive the black quarterbacks. There are at least six starting black quarterbacks playing in the NFL. Racism against the black quarterbacks is alive and well. I feel that white and black people need to wake up and realize that racism is still a problem in America. White people still want to believe they are superior to the black man. White people believe that to be a quarterback you have to be the most intelligent player on the field and have leadership skills. They only think that white quarterbacks have the intelligence to play as quarterback. That is why I wrote this book.
