Friday Roundup: The “Running with the Devils” Edition

October 4, 2013 by Ryan Ritter

Let's face it, when Notre Dame faces off against the Arizona State Sun Devils in their full hellfire attire, the Irish will be facing off against one of the best offenses that they will see in all of 2013. As Bayou discussed yesterday, they have put on quite a show throughout most of their season. And I'm going to give the Sun Devils a load of credit here, they've looked pretty damn good doing it too for the most part. And with Arizona State favored by 6 at the time of this writing, it's ...

Friday Roundup: The “Empty Gestures” Edition

August 16, 2013 by Ryan Ritter

The SEC, Big Ten, and PAC 12, have all made their stand for their student athletes. They will no longer be a part of EA Sports NCAA Football video game series. Yes, what a fantastic gesture by these conferences. It's a move that draws a clear line in the sand that amateurism and student athletes matter.

Last month, Twibby took a look at some of the leaked ratings for Notre Dame to whet our appetite. With the game's release though, we now have the full ratings and EA's projection of depth charts as well. Inspired by Adam Kramer's (you may know him as @KegsNeggs) annual simulation and summary of the entire 2012 season, I decided to run ...

NCAA Football 2013 – EA Sports Player Rankings Leaked

June 13, 2012 by Twibby

A special shout out to the guy that snuck a video camera into the E3 gaming convention and recorded himself going through the NCAA Football 2013 selection screens to get all of the team ratings and player ratings for the next version of the college football gaming dynasty. He may have filmed the 16 most boring minutes on YouTube, but he gave us college football fans and gamers some golden offseason fodder to argue about. Starting with the overall team ratings, Notre Dame is given a 97 ...
