Border Wars

"In May 1953, seven institutions - Clemson University, Duke University, the University of Maryland, the University of North Carolina, North Carolina State University, the University of South Carolina, and Wake Forest University - voted to break away from the Southern Conference and form a new league, the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC). Over the decades teams have come and gone, but fifty years later ACC football is still going strong, as chronicled in this history." "From kickoff to touchdown, K. Adam Powell presents an in-depth look at the players, games, and memorable moments that have shaped the first half-century of Atlantic Coast Conference football. Border Wars covers all of the important details, including the conference's founding, its five national championship teams, and even the scandals that have rocked programs at Clemson and Florida State. Powell also provides the coaching records and season standings or ACC football teams from 1953 to 2002, making this a reference for all ACC fans."--Jacket.
