The September meeting of the Roundtable is at noon, Thursday, September 19th, at the Capital City Club downtown.
We’re honored to have as speaker the author, lecturer, NFL player, ESPN analyst, and college coach Bill Curry. The title of Bill’s talk is “Football, Beyond the Obvious”.
Bill was a multi-sport star at College Park High, played football at Georgia Tech, was a ten-year NFL player, and appeared in two Super Bowls and two Pro-Bowls. He was head football coach at Georgia Tech, Alabama (where he was SEC Coach of the Year), and Kentucky. In 2008, Bill started the Georgia State football program from scratch, building the foundation for GSU’s recent miraculous win over Tennessee.
Curry’s book “Ten Men You Meet in the Huddle” is highly recommended. Pat Conroy wrote “Bill Curry has a wonderful gift for portraiture. This is by far the best book about the NFL I’ve ever read.” The Avondale Book Club rated the book “must read”.
