Although I preferred the original outcome, I love this commercial. I'm ashamed to admit the number of times that I've watched Michigan State suffer a frustrating loss, subsequently turn on EA NCAA Football, and line up the two teams again. It's amazing how well those little guys inside my TV set with the big hearts play when they aren't lead by John L Smith. I know you've done it, too. It's good therapy. As Jimmy Buffet says, "When reality looks ugly, just fantasize."
I guarantee you Adrian Peterson wasn't the only Sooner to "redo" the Fiesta Bowl. Good stuff.
And yes, 5 more days until NCAA Football '08 is released.
5 days and counting! This is a great month we get NCAA football, a new Harry Potter movie and a new Harry Potter book... did I just write that in a public forum?

I feel no need to replay that game. Ive replayed it over & over on my tv & in my head. There were a ton of great match ups last season. The bowl games left me with no disappointment. It sucked to lose in the fiesta bowl but I love to watch an underdog win & IMO I think that was one of the best bowl games in history. I was on the edge of my seat. I couldnt breathe, I couldnt scream...I couldnt pull my eyes from the tv. I will never forget it!!
It really is amusing how much joy I derive from watching arizona fail in NCAA football even more spectacularly than they do in real life. I've gotten through about 8 seasons and they've never won more than 6 games and usually just win 2-4. They've dropped down to 1* in prestige and are generally regarded as the armpit of the Pac-10.
Hmm, well now that I think about it...that's a pretty accurate description of the last decade of au football in real life, too. Go figure!
