Sorry, Coach. This Video Game Says You’re Getting Fired
Poor Paul Wulff. I don’t think I played a dynasty season in NCAA Football 12 in which Washington State didn’t fire him. Like clockwork, his name was on the axe list when the annual “Coaching Carousel”, implemented last year, started to spin. He never had a winning season in Pullman and his two Pac-12 victories last year, in real life, were a career high.
NCAA Football’s Cover School Says It Knows Nothing About Fight Song’s Exclusion
Baylor University says it demanded no extra money from EA Sports for the use of its fight song in NCAA Football 13 and no one in the university’s administration had anything to do with the song’s exclusion in this year’s version of the game, which released last week with its Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback starring on the cover.
Stick Jockey: Heisman Winner Gets Close-Up — But Without The Right Music
As a private school doormat for decades to two big-boy conferences, until last year most people couldn’t name one guy on the Baylor football roster. Even if Robert Griffin III won the Heisman Trophy in 2011, it didn’t make the school’s fight song any more recognisable last week. Maybe that’s why so few noticed that when NCAA Football 13 released — with Griffin himself on the cover — the Bears didn’t take the field to “Old Fite”.
NCAA Football 13: The Kotaku Review
NCAA Football 13 arrives at a particularly nostalgic time in my life. I’ve moved back to my hometown — in a house literally across the street from the five-time state champion high school I graduated. Revered names like Jeff Hayes and Mike Chatham, Harry Jennings and Richard Grissom, and Clarence Edwards (pictured above, somewhat idealised) are flooding back to my memory. Hell, I’m even dating a former cheerleader as I write this.
A Video Game Must Draw The Line Between Immortal And Unbeatable
Archie Griffin is the only player to win two Heisman Trophies. The last guy to win a Heisman and finish as high as second for the award in another year was Herschel Walker, 30 years ago. I wouldn’t know where to begin in rating either player for an appearance in a video game. For what they accomplished, and what they mean to their sport, hell, I’d probably write a 99 in every box under their names.
