Finebaum is one of the leading sports writers to cover SEC football. He also had a role in the ESPN documentary titled “Roll Tide/War Eagle,” which discussed the eternal Alabama-Auburn conflict.

In his new book, readers will get insight into the rise of the SEC powerhouse and a look into the SEC teams and their fans.

In a statement from Books-A-Million, whom sponsor of the event, Finebaum said how excited he was to come to the home of the 
Crimson Tide.

“I certainly couldn’t do a book tour without a stop in Tuscaloosa,” Finebaum said. “It will be great to visit with these passionate fans from the SEC country.”

The book signing event will take place outside of Bob’s Victory Grille at Midtown Village and will feature food samples from the restaurant.

“The event will be one-of-a-kind and will feature tailgate-style entertainment, food and music,” said Bob Baumhower, owner of Bob’s Victory Grille, in a statement. “The entire family will be able to enjoy a night of excitement celebrating Paul Finebaum’s stop in town.”

Brynn Wheeler, a senior majoring in public relations, said she plans on attending the event on Friday because she is a fan of SEC football and is familiar with Finebaum’s radio show and his work on the SEC Network.

“I feel like he always has a good way of saying things,” Wheeler said. “I would like to go see how he is in person.”

Matt Chesley, a senior majoring in international business, said he is a huge Finebaum fan and is extremely excited for the book signing in Tuscaloosa.

“I would go because I love college football and his voice runs the game,” Chesley said.

Finebaum will be in front of Bob’s Victory Grille at 6:30 p.m. on Friday. “My Conference Can Beat Your Conference: Why the SEC Still Runs College Football” will be available for purchase, and fans will have an opportunity to have the book signed by Finebaum himself. Tickets for the book signing will be available at the event.
