I know we're a basketball blog here at Big 12 Hoops, but that doesn't mean we don't like the gridiron and eveything associated with it.

That's why we're letting you know that EA Sports NCAA Football 2011 is available... now. Go get yours today (and if the only reason you are getting it is to stomp on Tim Tebow's face, then that is fine by us).

But seriously folks, if you have played the game in the past, you understand.  And if you don't know, now you know.

When you go to particular school or grow up a around college football  you are more than just a fan. It’s who you are. We thought we could leverage this pride in your roots and show that ‘where you come from’ is more than just a statement about geography. By positioning NCAA Football 11 as a game that understands this pride and is authentic to these traditions, the takeaway should be that anything that is in college football is in NCAA Football11.
 
And this doesn’t just include game play (though that’s a huge part of it). It’s rivals and mascots; it’s legends and stories. It’s those things that are at the very fabric of the game itself. Of course the game is great this year as well. With authentic entrances, mascots and specific offenses for each team the term “where I come from” takes on a much larger meaning. While playing NCAA Football 11 is ultimately a great sports sim, it should also give you a sense of the pride and emotion one has for being a fan of a team they will never not be a part of.
