5th Down College Football
5th Down College Football is a website built to host a book project.
The site itself is host to a collection of feature writing on the sport of college football, but it is also as an active headquarters for an upcoming book in which author Mark Schipper embarked on a national odyssey to attend many of the sport's greatest rivalries, visit its most historic campuses and stadiums, and connect w/its most important programs and greatest figures.

The book is being slated for release in the Spring of 2025.
