Today, I woke up at 9 am to go get my xbox 360 game of NCAA 09 at Game Stop. But then realized that they open at 10. So I had to go back again… Well I unwrapped my game and after seeing McFadden on the cover made me think of what the first team I am going to play with. I chose Virginia Tech against West Virginia, and my first comment is that Noel Devine does not deserve a 90 overall, YET. They scored 2 immediate touchdowns off a kickoff return touchdown and a hurdling run by Noel Devine(overrated again). I then followed back with the combination of Tyrod Taylor and Jahre Cheeseman to go up 28-14 at half. By the start of the 3rd, I thought I had the game on lockdown. On the very first play of the 3rd, Pat White connected with Nate Sowers for a 43 yard touchdown pass. Next thing I knew, I was only up by 7. On the next possesion, I drove down and had a 68 yard td run with Cheeseman. From there, it was all downhill. WV scored 21 unanswered points and put them up by 7 with little time left. On my next possesion, Tyrod fumbled the ball causing WV to retrieve the ball and kick 3 points. With 2 minutes left in the 4th, I was down 10 points. In a rush to make a play happen, launching the ball deep Ike Whittaker caught a 48 yard td pass. 45 Seconds left, and the onsides kick remaining… I RECOVERED, and have never been so happy in my life(exaggeration). Then I continue to work the clock and with 6 seconds I find myself in field goal range, and for some reason I decide to run 1 more play. To my dissapointment, my play lasted 7 seconds for a gain of 3 yards causing me to lose the game… I am an idiot.
It was a very exciting first game… I then went online and did some reasearch on finding updated rosters and names, and It was an immediate success. Life is better when you see the name’s over numbers.
After playing around and starting my dynasty I have got to experience the game play on my 42″ HDTV. The graphics are slightly noticeably better from previous years, but the game play is 10 times smoother. The players run smoother, and the physics is unbelievable in the game. The left joystick is great, and allows you to cut smoothly.
The best addition to the game is the Bluff Play art, which is crucial in bragging rights game against your buddy. Because you are convinced that he is looking at your plays.
Overall the game has been exciting, with some small tweaks and additions that always improve EA Sports famous college football games. Go out and buy this game and enjoy it, its bleeping awesome.

Always good to read about gridiron and football, I’ve never really understood the difference between them.
Can I ask though – how did you get this picked up and into google news?
Very impressive, is it something that is just up to Google or you actively created?
Obviously this is a popular blog with great data so well done on your seo success..
