Let’s say you’re an avid Bible reader. Imagine, if you will, a devotional book that consists of all of your favorite passages and scripture references.

For me (and other football fanatics living in the Lone Star State), just such a book now exists.

OK, I’m talking about the “bible” – little b – of Texas football, that being Dave Campbell’s Texas Football magazine. (To be clear – I enjoy reading the Holy Bible, too, or else I’d better give up my side gig as a Sunday School teacher.) Campbell has a new book out, sizzling-hot off the presses, published by Texas A&M University Press, that features many of his favorite football-related columns and stories from over the decades.

Yeah, I know what I’ll be doing in my spare time over the next week or two. Guess I’d better return my library books.

Campbell, 93, needs no introduction, of course. Everyone’s favorite Texas sportswriter remains a prolific writer even as a nonagenarian. But, believe it or not, he’d never written a book before.

Until now.

This project has unfolded more than two years in the making. And Dave said he can’t actually take credit for the inspiration.
