The Blue Ribbon preview book might as well be claimed as the official bible for all who follow this sport. I let out a girlish, glee-filled yelp when I saw it on my doorstep upon coming home from work about a month ago.
Chris Dortch and the staff always do a ridiculous job compiling thorough breakdowns of every single team in the country. In reality, it’s all too much information to absorb in its entirety, but the book always sits on my desk so I can search through it nearly every day. If you see me reference a team’s past performance or specific stats, there’ s a decent chance I’ve used this tome as the reference.
To buy the book (and please, if you consider yourself a dedicated fan of the sport, you’ll be thankful you did), go here.
