Since this ten-part documentary first aired on ESPN last fall, the only way to purchase it for home viewing had been to go directly through the production company. I did it that way, and the incovenience and delays were monumental. College football fans now able to purchase this amazing series more easily should celebrate.

Narrated by Burt Reynolds (who, as an actor and a Florida State alumnus, is not my favorite person), “Rites of Autumn” reviews this history of college football from its earliest days to the present, focusing on individual elements of the sport. Reynolds’s voice-over, to his credit, smoothly introduces the viewer to each subject and character, with an engaging objectivity an interest in each. From individual players to specific matches and long-time dynasties, the topics covered reflect the characters and events of the sport while investigating the social and even political influences exercised and experienced by America’s first gridiron love–the college game.

Using interviews and vintage footage, the story involves the viewer and conveys the historical scope and grandeur of the college football story in a way worthy of the game’s great legacy. Fans of smaller programs will be glad to note that, while the series gives its greatest emphasis to the “biggest” schools, it also acknowledges the importance and influence of teams from lesser divisions. While it would be simple for any intimate fan of the game, let alone a fervent devotee of a specific school, to detect prominent persons and events left unaddressed, the ten, hour-long episodes encompass everything that might reasonably be included, without any glaring exclusions.

If you cannot travel to the College Football Hall-of-Fame in South Bend, envelope yourself in the sites and sounds, the history and pagentry, of America’s greatest sport through this collection. You’ll not regret having a bridge over the long eight-month gap from the last College Gameday broadcast of the old season to the first broadcast of the next.

The footage, the stories, the themes — every component of this DVD set is fantastic. I learned a lot about the history of U.S. college football. The price is phenomenal, too. I once saw the set selling for $99.95. If you like college football, go for it.
