ABOUT THE BOOK

After waiting more than forty years for a national title, lifelong Georgia fan Charlie English humorously recounts the team’s two-year run atop college football during the 2021 and 2022 seasons in Pregame Prayers & Tailgate Tales.

English’s pregame devotionals capture the passion and pageantry of gamedays in the South through the witty and irreverent lens of a long-suffering, God-fearing, and brown-liquor-loving lifelong Bulldawg fan.

As a child, English grew up reading Lewis Grizzard, the legendary Atlanta Journal-Constitution sports columnist. Echoing the humorist’s wry observations on sports, food, and culture in the South, English gives his unique perspective on the cherished tradition of fall Saturdays, complete with a collection of delicious recipes and a consistent dose of bourbon.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Charlie English was born on Mother’s Day in May (Taurus) of 1964 in Hawkinsville, Georgia. His family lived in Cochran at the time of his birth, but Cochran didn’t have a hospital and Charlie’s sweet mama refused to let him be birthed at the local vet clinic. He was raised on his family farm where grew up loving agriculture, sports, and the Georgia Bulldawgs.

Charlie proudly attended the University of Georgia. After graduation, he moved to start his professional career in health care device, distribution, software, and information technology sales. He returned to the Classic City of Athens, Georgia, in 2001.
