Sports Illustrated USA – August 26, 2019

You Look Good for 150

FROM POP WARNER to Nick Saban, from Rutgers versus Princeton to

Alabama versus Clemson, from no helmets to leather to state-of-the-

art headgear, college football has come a long way since its inception

in 1869, evolving from a campus oddity into a national fascination.

In honor of the sport’s 150th year, Sports Illustr ated has ranked

everything that is great about college football—15 lists in all—from

programs to pizza joints to individual performances. Our writers pooled

their years of reporting and experiences in venues large and small to

highlight the game’s best moments and chart its growth into a colossus

that generates billions of dollars in revenue, sparks heated debates and

powers rivalries that have only increased in intensity.

THE BIG

INTERVIEW

QUICK

HITS

In the latest installment of SI T V’s

series featuring some of the biggest

personalities in sports, SI senior writer

Greg Bishop sits down with former NFL

coach Hue Jackson, who opens up about

the pain he has felt since being fired by

the Browns last October. For the first time

in 32 years Jackson won’t be coaching

a college or NFL team. Instead he’s

struggling to make peace with his new

reality, which includes taking his nine-

year-old daughter, Haydyn, to dance class

and spending time with his golden doodle,

Chino. (For more, see page 42.)
