A Season in Purgatory:
Villanova and Life in College Football’s Lower Class
by Tony Moss

“John Feinstein has set the standard for these all-access, season-long-college-sports books, but Moss can play in his league. This is an intelligent, informative, and humane look inside a side of college football that fans seldom see.”—Booklist

“This year promises to be different for local readers. . . . Moss’s new book is all about the political issues of its subject matter. . . .  There is a lot more going on in the world of football that makes for interesting reading than the usual annual fare.”—Gary Laney, Lake Charles (LA) American Press

“Villanova football fans . . . and anybody else with an interest in I-AA football or the local sports scene should pick up the just-published book A Season in Purgatory, subtitled Villanova and Life in College Football’s Lower Class. Author Tony Moss, who spent the 2005 season with Andy Talley’s team, has a good eye for the big picture and the telling detail.”—Mike Jensen, Philadelphia Inquirer
