College football is a massive enterprise in the United States, and southern teams dominate poll rankings and sports headlines while generating billions in revenue for public schools and private companies. Southern football fans worship their teams, often rearranging their personal lives in order to accommodate season schedules. The Origins of Southern College Football sheds new light on the South's obsession with football and explores the sport's beginnings below the Mason-Dixon Line in the decades after the Civil War.
Military defeat followed by a long period of cultural unrest compelled many southerners to look to northern ideas and customs for guidance in rebuilding their beleaguered society. Ivy League universities, considered bastions of enlightenment and symbols of the modernizing spirit of the age, provided a particular source of inspiration for southerners in the form of organized or "scientific" football that featured standardized rules and scoring. Transported to the South by men educated at northern universities, scientific football reinforced cultural values that had existed in the region for centuries, among them a tolerance for violence, respect for martial displays, and support for traditional gender roles. The game also held the promise of a "New South" that its supporters hoped would transform the region into an industrial powerhouse. Students and townspeople alike embraced the new sport, which served as a source of pride for a region that lagged woefully behind its northern counterpart in terms of social equity and economic prowess. The Origins of Southern College Football is an entertaining history of the South's most popular sport cast against a broader narrative of the United States during the Gilded Age and Progressive Era, two momentous periods of change that gave rise to the game we recognize today.--Larry J.

Great product
Color: Silver
I had something similar that was a flat metal piece with a "V" shape design. It was awful water collected in the groves at bottom i had to almost place the front end off the counter because then when the water started to slow from raining it would somehow go back underneath and get my counter top wet. This is so much better! Bottom spot can be rotated out when needed and also can be pushed in to hide. I put this on the counter normally without hanging off the edge (unlike the other one) and because its a spout funnels water perfectly into sink and my counter stays dry. A tiny bit of water sometimes collect at the end of spout but overall great product! Also has a divided that can be moved but can only be placed in specific spots, obv can be removed full. Tall basket can be moved to either side

Perfect sink caddy!
Color: Black, Size: 9.25″, Color: Black, Size: 9.25″
This caddy is exactly what I was looking for and needed! It holds everything I need and keeps it in place. Easy to assemble and put to use! This was also sturdier than expected, and a great value. Easy to clean, easy to use, and just the right fit for my kitchen sink. I like that you can arrange it to suit your needs, it has a movable divider and the small compartment attaches to either the outside or inside of the caddy.

I really like this sink caddy. It has room for sponges, nail brush and soap. It clears the clutter and makes my sink look so much better. I like the fact I can customize the sections, so that it works for me.
