[NU Sports] NCAA Football 2009

[J.R. McCullough]

For any gamers out there, I'm sure you have been disappointed by EA Sports NCAA Football games the past few years. They have really taken a step backward in their support of our beloved Wildcats by rendering a generic stadium instead of Ryan Field. Well...it looks like they got it right this year. Head over to http://www.easports.com/ncaa09/media.jsp and take a look a the screen shots. If you click the down arrow on the right navigation pane, the first image on the second set of photos shows NU and Ryan Field. After boycotting the game for the past few years, it looks like I might have to buy it this time.

...and speaking of the football team, I was just reviewing the 2008 schedule. Is it me just being optimistic, or do I see wins in eight of the first nine games, with a possible record of 9-3 overall?

With an improved defense, Sutton at full speed, a maturing QB and solid special teams, I think we have a real shot this year.

Thoughts?
