NCAA '08 Is Here...

...and I could not be more pleased.

If you'll click to enlarge, you'll see that three weeks in the Tide hasn't given up a TD yet, and blanked the ninth ranked Razorbacks. I'd love it if this is how the season really shook out, but if this thing happens to be any real indicator of how the actual Tide will play, the following things are going to suck:

1. Jimmy Johns will fumble. A lot.
2. So will Nikita Stover.
3. Matt Caddell will drop every wide open pass thrown his way.
4. So will Simeon Castille.
5. The O-line? Is not better.
6. The D-line? Monstrously evil and itching to tear the opposing QB's head off, or at least take out both knees in one fell swoop. Okay, that won't suck.
7. Greg McElroy can't throw, and Jimmy Johns can't catch (I had the 2nd string in for most of the Western Carolina game, that's how I know).
8. JP? Not as fast as we thought.
9. Chris Nickson? Is as fast we thought.

Oddly enough, Georgia is 1-2 as I prepare to face them, which is terribly anticlimactic, but what are you gonna do?

Interesting

Is that from PS2, PS3, or Xbox 360?

PS2

I suppose that makes me lame.

Not at all

I only have a PS2 as well. A $600 unit (PS3) is pretty expensive.

Penalties...

PS3? Really?

Why in the world would you spend $600 for a PS3 when you could get a 360 for $400, plus the game runs twice as good -- 60 fps versus 30 fps. You guys are nuts.

The computer...

has FSU at 2-1 (they lost to Miami) right now. I'm looking forward to playing that game. Every time I played the 'Noles on '07 using the play now it was a frustrating defensive struggle usually coming down to a 6-3 score or something like that.

I read some commentary...

...on that game the other day that said they think the game will be a huge defensive battle.

Roll Tide!

Just out of curiosity . . .

What level are you playing on?

by rtr on Jul 18, 2007 12:51 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs

All-American

I'll switch up to Heisman after the first season of the dynasty to give myself time to get used to the new "feel", though this one is about the same as '07, just with a couple of extras.
