Y'all might have seen this on TexAgs, but take a gander at Josh Perry's book, "Marooned in Aggieland: A Bumbling Brit Discovers College Football, Guns N' Waffles," available for purchase on Amazon. Always interesting to see what others think when they come and join the best after they've boosted all the rest. Give Mr. Perry some support if you're so inclined, and/or give him a follow on Twitter @GigEmNation

Followed his thread and website, and bought the book. Pretty cool!

Started reading his book today--his writing style and UK vernacular is delightful. Enjoying it immensely and I highly recommend

That's a nice tan you've got in that picture.

If Aggieland Outfitters would ever hurry up and send me my copy of The 100 Year Decision (they had no problem debiting my account, though)

All I can think of when I look at that cover and see a scared-looking cracker failing to make a tackle is Jordan Mastrogiovanni.

My copy is due in today. I am looking forward to reading it. His write ups about the games last year were great. His website and twitter are fun too.

Yup. Its a dead on balls accurate depiction of our defense. Can't stop anyone.

His book employs the same witty, self-deprecating style of humor and a knack for picking up on the little idiosyncrasies that make Aggieland unique. Fun book to read! Definitely recommending to Ags and non-Ags alike

Finished reading it this morning. Many laugh out loud parts to this book. I really enjoyed reading his impressions and read about his understanding what makes our school so great. Highly recommend this book.
