THE GREATEST FOOTBALL ROOM EVER EVER
Odell 51 brings us this extremely beautiful piece of art constructed by an Ohio State fan, who like Dali or Velasquez appears in the lower right hand corner of his painting. Look at those eyes–just try and deny his passion, reader.
Still more proof that Ohio State fans could easily assimilate into the SEC should the Big 10 ever kick them out for something really serious, like not wanting to pay an extra two bucks a month on their cable bill to watch Illinois/Northwestern women’s basketball.

1. Does he update as sponsors change?
2. If you’re going to get a sick mural, why skimp on the TV? Not a bad TV by any means, but it doesn’t seem to be a prime-time display up to the standards of the rest of the room, however there could easily be a larger set on the opposite end of the room that we cannot see. I proclaim this to be no more ridiculous than the people with the mini Fenway Park whiffle ball fields.

So do the walls throw things at you? If you walk in with another college football sweatshirt on do they spit at you and call you a “fag”.
If it is going to represent the shoe it needs to have these fine qualities.
Is there a smell of urine in the air?
If you try and touch the goal post does a sheriff pop out with enough mace to take down a bear??

#1, if you’ve ever visited Columbus in October or November, you will recognize that the ceiling, is, in fact, an accurate representation of the sky, sans the lights, of course.
#2, the TV is in the place of the scoreboard’s video screen, which only takes up about 40% of the total scoreboard. This isn’t DK Royal, after all.

This is in the dude’s basement, there is a video of it on Youtube somewhere, its pretty cool. I think he said it took him like a year and a half, but if he did it everyday full time, he could do one in like 5 months.
No, there are no goalposts. With Mike Nugent and Josh Huston for 7 years, they just award OSU the EP or FG just based on past history.
Odell, If you want, i could throw things at you. And I have tried to climb the goalpost and got a firehose of mace to the mug that made me puke and dry heave all over the south end-zone (thats supposed to be safer than the goalpost coming down?)

Also, what was everyone’s thoughts on NCAA08? I thought their wasn’t that much improvement, it was cooler having the 08 guys and everything, but nothing that I was like “wow, im glad they are doing this now” If anything, I noticed that Roughing the QB was called on damn near every other play. Keep in mind im on PS2 though, too.

When I was a child, it was my dream (and intention) that when I grew up and owned my own (out) house, I would paint the script “pitt” in the bowl of my toilet. Young horsechestnut fans dream of owning their own styrofoam coolers.

bhors, I’m on PS2 as well, and so far I like this year’s installment of NCAA. The gameplay seems more fluid, and the receivers/backs going in motion being integrated into the plays is kickass. Though, I am having trouble getting used to the new controls(I’m still used to ‘06). I think the PS3 and 360 versions are more loaded than what us PS2 users got.

Ads come from BW3, Kroger, and Wendy’s.
Yet another reason to hate Ohio State. Inferior ad partners.
The fact that the state of Georgia keeps Kroger alive in the South bothers me to no end. I abhor the Kroger on Washington Road in Augusta for no legitimate reason. Harris Teeter mocks your weak grocer.
As for BW3, I can go to Taco Bell and save $5 or so if I want a food enema.

EA didn’t really do alot for the current gen(PS2, Xbox) consoles this year, because they’re not going to produce NCAA ‘09 for either. They program on the 360 and PS3 exclusively now. Basically, they just updated the rosters and did some minor porting over.
Be prepared to drop 400- 600 bucks if you want to play NCAA ‘09.

Every once in a while, there comes a time when a man decides it’s time to make a name for himself. A time to leap out into the great ball pit of life, avoid the turds of doubt and failure, and grab hold of something that really means something, that makes difference in this crazy world filled with hollow plastic balls and some turds.
This is the exact opposite of one of those times.

Actually given that they are still selling more PS2s than PS3s, they may still put the game out for that console next year even, although there won’t be any more revolutionary changes for the current gen machines. I only got in one game last night and while there were some cool things I noticed, for the most part it played like last year’s version.
Anyone else have massive amounts of turnovers though? ASU vs. SJSU rang up something like 13 fumbles and INTs between the 2 teams. DBs are much, much better at actually making the pick rather than just letting it bounce off their hands this year.

#45: They switched to Field Turf this year and the fully-painted end zones are now a part of it.
You may also notice that the “Buckeyes” in the open end of the Horseshoe in the mural does not match the EA representation. The mural is correct– EA has had it backwards for something like eight years.

Many people will say “How can they miss something like that?”. Well, here’s the reason: fixing a small little thing like reversals, etc could mess up 1000 other things. It’s not that they “missed” it, it’s that 1000 right things are better than 1 tiny reversal. Many of the bugs are noted, just not fixed. This is called “Known Shippable”, the warcry for all game testers.

MCab says:
I’ve got it for the PS2, and yes, nothing too different.
I do LOVE how the safeties finally know how to position themselves for the different conditions. Por exemplo, in 07, when calling cover 1, the SS would STILL stay in the back. In 08, he comes up. Call cover 0 and they both come up.
Integrated motion in the plays is GORGEOUS.
Still can’t find the statue of liberty play.
They still haven’t figured out that there is no roughing the kicker if the contact was incidental. So, I just dial that sucker down to 10%, hell, even 0.
I miss JaMarcus Russell.
What’s this? Defensive Lineman stunts? HOORAY!
New music is COOL.
Now, let’s see. Do I want to buy the overpriced PS3 with no rumble or the XBox 360 that has the lifespan of a hamster at one of our 4th of July parties?

Luckily, I pre paid on xbox live, so my 7.99 is being put to good use, with no 360 and all. Got to hand it to Bill Gates, he’s a sharp one.

There is a lot of hate in these replies. Too bad OSU has more national championships than any of your teams in the SEC. Might I point out that the great UF has 2 in 100 years and OSU has 7 in 110 years! Not to mention conference championships, Heismans, and bowl wins. Oh don’t forget the record for number of total draft picks and first round draft picks…yeah. Fuck the SEC. UF’s greatest accomplishment was adding salt to Kool-Aid and calling it Gatorade. Go Fuck yourselves.

First of all, nice picture of Wuerffel and Spurrier at the top, two class-act individuals.
Secondly, excellent beat-down on the Buckeyes this past year. Congrats to you Gator fans.
Last but not least, the Big Ten has far more tradition and history than the SEZ and thus would never stoop so low as to “assimilate” into a conference lacking the rich history such as that established at Ohio State. Dewey Dew-it exudes the manic football-loving attitude that burns through the veins of the Buckeye faithful.
The north will rise again.
p.s. Do people in Florida really like Joakim Noah?
July 20th, 2007 at 9:22 am
57
Danny says:
I live in Florida and go to FSU now. We think Noah looks like an inbred girl. And you’re right, OSU would never stoop to the SEC for millions of reasons. The first would be that I think you have to be in the Southeast to be in the Southeastern Conference, but I wouldn’t expect SEC fans to make that connection. Every team in the SEC considers every other team their arch rival, but then they root for that rival if playing a non-SEC team. Real rivals don’t root for each other, ever. I always want Michigan to lose, even if they were playing against Satan to save my soul. And you SEC fans are fans of the whole conference because that way you have someone to root for when your team gets beaten…real commitment there guys. As for Spurrier, my prof was friends with his roommate back while he was a student at UF. He said the only way you could get along with Spurrier was to agree with everything he said, no matter what. Spurrier is an ego maniac that takes all the credit for wins and blames losses on his teams. That isn’t stand-up to me.

If you’re going to bash them, talk about the more recent history. Use last year vs. Florida before you bring up Outback Bowls.
