Holy crap; Ohio just beat Pitt on an INT returned for a TD in overtime! Just another reason why college football rules. Needless to say, Hook ‘em, and Go Dawgs, Go!

I think I have only seen two complete episodes of Battlestar Galactica; maybe 3-5 parts of a few other episodes. Even so, it is obvious that BSG is about the best thing to happen to TV since the Braves won the World Series. Seriously, I never get to see BSG on the SciFi network (Friday [...]
There’s a clueless rFactor noob guide available for folks like me that need an actual manual to figure out the game. First Out of the Park Baseball ships with no manual, and now rFactor. These games evolve so much that I guess I can understand this, but if World of Warcraft can ship with a [...]
Here is a list with the leagues included in FIFA Manager 06. MLS 1st and 2nd Division are present.
It appears that the MLS will be in FIFA Manager 06. A post by the developers in the EA Sports forum contained a link to a site with a picture from the full version of the game. An option to select the USA was on the screen. In the demo, I could choose an MLS [...]
It’s out at Gamespot and probably other sites.
Some of you may be scratching your heads, but Total Control Manager is now “FIFA Manager” and there is a new demo available. TCM is sort of the Madden of European football sims. Sort of. It takes all sorts of abuse from the 2-D Football Manager crowd for not being realistic, but I do enjoy [...]
I hate being an EA Sports defender, but enough is enough. I am just as picky as the next hardcore fan when it comes to realism in sports games. I just don’t really apply that standard to Madden. Compared to what Madden started out as, it is much, much improved over the years. People seem [...]
Stay away from rFactor if you want to have a life! I turned up the graphics to their highest setting, and they are gorgeous. From what I gather so far, you start off in the kiddie circuit and have to prove yourself in order to get car improvements and advance to higher ranked races. This [...]
I broke down and purchased rFactor this evening based on Geoff’s recommendation. He may take his licks in OOTP and Madden (although, he did beat me the last game we played), but Geoff knows racing. The man’s been raving about it since the official release and he’s hardly ever available online in the evenings anymore. [...]
Was reading a recent news brief about a US submarine that hit a merchant vessel and I was struck by how little accountability there is in the federal government. This poor submarine captain’s career is over. No matter what the reason was for the collision, there just isn’t any excuse that will save his career. [...]
Nice opening weekend of college football. I think I watched all or parts of 10 different games, with TCU vs. Oklahoma, Boise State vs. Georgia, and Georgia Tech vs. Auburn getting the majority of my attention. Some random thoughts follow. TCU took care of the Sooners, which has to be considered the shocker of the [...]
The Dawgs easily took care of the Broncos from Boise State 48-13, and DJ Shockley looked damn impressive in the process. The Dawgs came out running, which is what I was hoping they would do – DJ hands off to the left; DJ hands off to the right; DJ up the middle. It worked very [...]
Georgia could be in for an interesting ride this year – tons of talent is gone from both sides of the ball, but under Richt Georgia has recruited very well. With three stud running backs in the fold – Brown, Ware, and Lumpkin – I think Georgia should be in good shape. If Lumpkin is [...]
Who? Jay Cutler, the famously unknown QB at Vanderbilt. Contradiction? Sure, but most people do not have a clue about Cutler, much less his NFL potential. Apparently all the NFL scouts love Cutler – great size, wonderful arm, perfect prototype QB. I am not sure how many preseason publications I read this year, but almost [...]
