SEVEN INCHES OF FURY
Hope that even with steady beta-testing and years’ worth of improvement that the NCAA franchise doesn’t lose its its glitches, the hiccups and oddities of programming that reward the gaming addict with little unintentional Easter Eggs of high-larity.
And please, please don’t lose the best glitch of all, one that should have been turned into a special unlockable character in Campus Legend Mode: the seven-inch tall linebacker.
We’re not sure what his name is, but one thing’s certain: if Ron Prince doesn’t stop calling us and asking us for the kid’s highlight tape, we’re changing our private number, bayyybeeeee. We’ve never seen a man with such a passion for midget running backs in our lives. And plus, as the YouTube clip makes clear, he’s obviously just a linebacker and special teams guy…albeit a hellacious one.

Jebus-
He’s a midget dwarf. He’s the guy that poses for trophies.

Re: #3 — I’m blanking on the book you’re referencing. Terry Pratchett perhaps?

So is he even a midget? Midgets terrify me and I can’t decide if I’m afraid of him or if I want to just scoop him up and put him in my pocket.
My front left pocket, if you know what I mean.

Orson, is that one of the magical little gnomes in the show?

Having worked at EA, and on NCAA 03 and 04, I will have to say that is one of the better bugs I have seen. Sadly enough, the Qa team didn’t catch that, and I know a bunch of people that actually tested THAT game. The general public has no idea how many issues are found in games of that nature before release. But, if you think about it, the QA team probably has about 200000 hours of test time. Now, NCCA will sell over a million units, easily. So, if everyone who buys the game only plays one hour, that’s already 5 times the amount of in game time than the test team has.

Frankly, I’m not impressed.
Maurice Wells hasn’t broken a tackle in two seasons at Ohio State.

Great - I just snorted at work.
Looks to be just about the right size to play in the PSU secondary - don’t worry, they may be small, but they can hit.

#12: That excuse didn’t cut it when Spinal Tap used it with tiny Stonehenge, and it doesn’t make things any less hilarious here, either.
