Description

Get the beautiful book that presents the history of the Tennessee Titans football team, with full-color photography and fascinating text.

The Tennessee Titans are a proud and storied franchise. Some of the NFL’s all-time best players—and all-time great teams—have donned the two-tone blue. Each season is precious to the fans, whether we won two games or twelve, because it reminds us of special memories: trips to the stadium with parents and children, watching on TV with neighbors and friends, shared camaraderie with strangers, and more.

Team reporter, podcaster, debut author, and lifelong Titans fan Justin Melo presents the perfect keepsake for Titans sports fans. Titans of the South collects the team’s rich history and pairs it with professional, full-color photography to create a stunning book for any coffee table or bookshelf. Beginning with the Houston Oilers’ inaugural campaign in 1960, it presents a season-by-season summary, which includes the team’s schedule, starting lineups, and statistical leaders. Justin also takes a closer look at the best players and greatest wins. The book is rounded out with the author’s picks for every all-decade team. With a foreword by Jim Wyatt, Titans senior writer and editor, Titans of the South truly has it all for anyone who loves Tennessee’s favorite team! Score a copy for yourself, and you can give it as a winning gift too.
