When I first bought this game, I was excited for the Online Dynasties, roster sharing, and the ability to make stadium sounds. Little did I know that they added a feature that made this game well worth the money, and more realistic than actually being there.
They added Charlie Weis falling on his butt multiple times on the sideline due to his weight. Not only that, but when it happens, the controller rumbles, as though there was an earthquake. If you look carefully you might see a divet in the grass where he fell on.
He hasn’t played a regular season college football game yet, but Stephfon Green is ready to come out speeding, and challenging Noel Devine as being one of the best RBs in the nation. In preparation, here is a wallpaper of him.

We just saw Iron Man and enjoyed every minute of it. As Matt says in the podcast, the best movies he has seen since Transformers. In the podcast, he reveals just why Transformers is best. In addition, we talk a bit about his HS and their water polo team–and the challenge between the men’s and women’s teams.
Maurice Evans, Penn State, Defensive End, Wallpaper
I snapped this photo at the Blue-White game at Penn State this year (4-19-08) and I decided to make a wallpaper out of the All-American, Maurice Evans, defensive end from Penn State. Enjoy.

I made this wallpaper today (4-8-08) for the Kansas Jayhawks National Championship Game against Memphis in which they won 75-68 (OT) in one of the best games ever in the Final Four in San Antonio. This wallpaper includes Mario Chalmers, Sherron Collins, and the whole team holding up the trophy.

Everyone stop debating the BCS system, NOW! You have chastised the computers when they are the part of the BCS system we should be celebrating. The flaw in the BCS system is instead the polls. Coaches that vote do not pay attention to the other games or are biased.
Many people have proposed a playoff system with the top 8 teams in the USA Today Polls at the end of the year being in the playoffs. In some instances it is 16 teams. Either way this creates a larger problem of teams trying to make a case to be in the playoffs and we will only hear more bickering. If you want to do what is best for college football then I have a solution with 2 simple steps.
Step 1
Get rid of polls and switch to a full computer ranking. People will complain no matter what but this will give people the cop out of “number don’t lie”. Base the computer ratings on strength of schedule and whether teams win or lose. Do not bother with stats or margin of victory. That is just rubbish. This is a win-win situation for fans. They get to have that cop out of “the numbers don’t like” along with having a must for schools to schedule better out of conference games.
I am sick and tired of watching Penn State play FIU, Buffalo. there is less excitement in the beginning weeks of college football. I watch college basketball and what I see is Pitt vs. Duke, Ohio State vs. North Carolina and other great out of conference games that are fun and exciting to watch. Why? Because schools need to play good teams to get a good RPI rating, assuming they win. With a computer system that goes off of strength of schedule (and W-L) then you will have more Ohio State-Southern Cal match ups. Who knows maybe there will be a SEC-Big Ten challenge set up. No matter what it will bring about definite cut-off on who is in and who is out, along with better team schedules made.
Step 2
I implied it last part. I am asking for a playoff system, AS LONG AS STEP 1 IS IN PLACE. I don’t care if it is 8 team or 16 team. Keep the bowls for those who don’t make the playoff. Those who wouldn’t be in the top 16 truly are playing in bowl games that their fans only care about.The rest of the points to made here about how it would still generate lots of money and such has already been made by others.
What am I asking for? NO HUMAN POLLS! Go ahead and make them for pre-season or grins and giggles, but don’t allow them to hold any weight please. Hopefully this can make all fans happy, along with the networks.
Are there plans at all for this in the future? I think there should be and it would make Beaver Stadium THE TOUGHEST stadium in the nation IMO.
If I were doing it, I would have people put on their forms whether they want to be a part of the Rowdy Alumni section (and have a note saying that they’re expected to be almost as loud as the student section whenever on defense, and that no one can get yelled at for standing and cheering. ) and I would put the section in the Northwest corner of the stadium, opposite of the students. It would make it so there would be no “safe” side of the stadium, as both endzones are going to be difficult for the opposing offense to hear.
Are there any plans by the university to make such a thing, and if not, how could this be purposed? I think it would truly make Beaver Stadium the Greatest Show in College Football.
Question that has come up already:
“You would have to force 10-15 thousand season ticket holders out of their seats.”
You could “upgrade” them to new seats. It’s not like one is kicking them out of the game. They could have some of the seats in the 50 yardline area that would open up.
We podcast again! We had the opportunity to sit in the “press box” at the latest Penn State game. Now, the press box is somewhat of a misnomer. We were on the top floor, while the actual press was on the second and third floors. We were guests of the University and the Nittany Lion Club. Apparently, all those members of the Nittany Lion Club that didn’t qualify for football tickets were put in a raffle, and we were lucky enough to win 2 tickets for the Iowa game. It is my suspicion that the fourth floor, where we were, was the old President’s box area, before they built the new luxury boxes on the east side.
Anyway, we had a great time, watched the game with a fun group of fans, and got to eat not only dogs and burgers, but lots of little cups of Creamery Ice Cream.
Matthew and Steve share their thoughts as Penn State finally puts another one in the W column, defeating Iowa 27 to 7. Sit back and enjoy the sounds of the game.
