Time to bust out your kegs and start your tailgating, College football season is here!
(Author’s note: This review is based off the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 versions of the game)
Ah, NCAA Football, Madden’s little yet superior brother. While any competitive Madden game usually ends with 3 yards and a cloud of dust football, the sheer amount of ways to play in NCAA has always made it more unpredictable.
However, NCAA football has had somewhat of a difficult transition to current generation systems. To call NCAA Football 2007 for the XBOX 360 a barebones affair would be fair, and a rushed POS that had features needlessly dropped would be true. NCAA Football 2008 for the PS3 had its own share of problems, including its broken on | | By: Big Cat Country - An Unoffical Jacksonville Jaguar | | |

ArkansasFirst Round ReviewMount St Mary's wanted to run with North Carolina and the Tar Heels licked their chops; UNC cruised to a 1st round win. Arkansas kept Indiana at arms length after about 10 minutes of back and forth. Swingman Sonny Weems had 31 points in dispatching the Hoosiers.For Arkansas to Win:They have to play their best game of the year. They need a shooting performance like they had against Indiana on Friday (54% FG, 47% 3PT, 79% FT). Defensively, they have to keep Hansbrough off the boards as much as possible.For North Carolina to Win:Keep doing what you do. Feed Hansbrough the ball inside. Push the ball on defensive stops. Use your superb depth.I like North Carolina in this game. It is essentially a home game for them and Ty Lawson is finally back 100% and in the flow of the offense. We get the first ACC-SEC match up of the Tournament and this one looks to be in the ACC's favor.Prediction: North CarolinaEas | | By: ACC SEC Blog | | |

| NCAA First Round Spread Analysis | | 2008-03-20 20:26:14 | | I used the spread from USA Today to do some analysis on them to see if there is any value in particular games. I sorted by the favorite seed ascending and spread for that game descending. If you go by seeding then Davidson is the biggest gamble to win their opening round game as a 10 seed. 9 seeds Texas A&M and Kent State are also favored but historically 8-9 games have gone 50/50.The first break in seed to spread ratio is at 3/4 where 4. UConn is a bigger fav than 3. Xavier. The bettors feel that 6. Marquette is 2 points safer vs Kentucky than 5. Drake is against Western Kentucky. And finally Butler blows away other 7 seeds and would second amongst 6 seeds with their 4.5 spread over South Alabama. For my money, I like Marquette at -5.5 and Arkansas at +1.5 as my two favorites of the day.

That's right, only 7: North Carolina, Tennessee, Kansas, Georgetown, Texas, Memphis, and UCLA. These 7 are so strong that we don't see anyone slipping by them from the lower seeds into the Final Four.Our Final Four picks were as follows:East: North CarolinaMidwest: GeorgetownSouth: TexasWest: UCLANo surprises there.

| NCAA Tournament Breakdown: West Region | | 2008-03-20 05:53:23 | | Many experts say UCLA has the easiest path to the Final Four. We call this the "kiss of death." Whenever the talking heads start singing your praises, you don't have a chance, right? You're jinxed for sure.Well, that's usually the case. And if you follow our fantasy football coverage, you know there's nothing we love more than proving the experts wrong. But--and we know this might cause you to cancel your subscription to TJI--in this case, we have to agree.UCLA has all the components of a champion. They're battle-tested, have multiple scoring threats, and they're well coach. Last year's run will serve them well, as they won't be distracted by the spotlight. And the biggest change from this year to last--Freshman stud Kevin Love--will help them, too.And when you take a look at the other teams in the West, there just isn't anyone who stands out. UConn is streaky. Duke is under-sized. Xavier plays in the Atlantic-10. Drake is Drake. No one can hang with the Bruins.So here are the official | | By: This Just In | | |

If you're not a fan of March Madness, then something is seriously wrong! College basketball's National Championship is at stake and 65 teams know that the first to six wins will walk away with the prize. College coaches break this tournament down into two-game affairs. Win the first two and then move on to the Sweet 16. Win the next two and then skip to the Final Four. Win those two and you're the National Champion. | | By: NBA Predictions | | |

| NCAA Tournament Breakdown: South Region | | 2008-03-19 07:43:20 | | John Calipari is going to want to give Dan Marino a call one of these days. No, not to sign up for Nutri-system or borrow some Isotoners. The call's going to need to be made so the two can chat about not being able to win it all. Every winter, we cheered for ol' Danny Boy to will his team to the title. But it never happened. And many-a-March in the 90's were spent cheering on Calipari's UMass teams. But they couldn't pull it off, either.Now John Calipary has a new home, the University of Memphis and yet another 30-win squad. But unfortunately it is not, once again, the year of the Tigers. And we've got two words that sum up the reason why: Conference USA. Memphis needs to get out of that conference and play some real teams. Otherwise, tourney time is going to be more of the same year in, year out.So, please, if you've picked Memphis to win it all, use this handy breakdown of the South Region to steer yourself back to the right path.

| NCAA Tournament Breakdown: Midwest Region | | 2008-03-18 22:43:00 | | Have you noticed that none of the "experts" are bringing you much in the way of upsets this year? Last year, with a tournament that was by our accounts light on Cinderella stories, has apparently made everyone a little gun-shy.But think about it. In years past, what has made the tourney so enjoyable? It's the upsets, baby. It's what's either ruined your bracket or made you the king/queen of the office, if only for a day after you picked Winthrop or Rider or Holy Cross on a whim.Well, we here at TJI think that when it comes to the Elite Eight and Final Four, the Cinderella stories will once again be sparse. But if there's a region where some drama might occur, it's the Midwest. Clemson and Vandy are a bit over-rated, as is chic upset pick USC, and Gonzaga is not the Gonzaga of old.And no one talks about the fact that Kansas, the region's number-one seed, hasn't beaten anyone all that impressive.

Kentucky (18-12)By now we know all about Kentucky and how they were revived from the dead after a terrible non-conference season and then going 12-4 in the SEC. The Wildcats will be led by a senior backcourt in Ramel Bradley and Joe Crawford. Kentucky will want to slow it down and play half court basketball and allow their guards to go one on one.Marquette finished 6th in the Big East and made it to the Big East Tournament semifinals. Marquette burst onto the national scene in 2003 with a guard named Dwayne Wade against, oddly enough, Kentucky in the Elite 8. The Golden Eagles are very similar to Kentucky in that they heavily depend on their guards for offense. Jerel McNeil averages just under 15 points while his backcourt mate Dominic James hands out close to 5 assists a game. Marquette faired pretty well down the stretch losing to Georgetown by just 2 and making it to the Big East semis. Every team they lost to t | | By: ACC SEC Blog | | |

| NCAA Tournament Preview: East Region | | 2008-03-17 23:26:28 | | The beasts of the East, UNC, must be ticked with the way things turned out. In order to make it to the Final Four in San Antonio, they might have to beat Louisville or Tennessee and/or Indiana and/or Notre Dame. That's not right.As the number one overall seed, they deserve an easier path to the Alamodome. But, as a consolation, their first four games would all be played in Carolina. A friendly crowd can be the difference maker in a tough game, so this is key.And while at first glance the other highly seeded teams in this region are tough, in actuality, they've each got issues: Louisville hasn't shown us any proof that they have what it takes to make a title run; Tennessee's zany and unpredictable coach might be their undoing; Indiana has the talent, but the upheaval is going to be too much to overcome. Only once in recent memory, Michigan in 1989, has a team in such turmoil been able to succeed in the tourney.

| UM Secures NCAA Bid | | 2008-03-13 18:56:00 | | I'll write a more detailed explanation in a bit, but for now I have to keep it short. Blogger is about to go down in 6 minutes for maintenance. Before that happened, I wanted to mention that UM's basketball team easily dispatched of NC State 63-50 and heads to the 2nd round to face Va Tech.The win ensures Miami will make it as the 4th ACC team in the NCAA Tournament. FSU also won and will now face UNC, needing a win or two more to land a bubble spot as well. At this point, Miami has no pressure on them to win, and they should play it cool. Keep winning and they'll be rewarded with a higher seed. At this point, I would prefer they end up with a 5 or 12 seed rather than a 6-11. The former means that with a victory, the worst we'd face in the 2nd round would be a 4 seed.If we get a 7 or 8 seed, then we'd get bounced by UNC or Memphis in the 2nd round. 6 or 10 seed and we get blasted by a Texas. You get the point. Wish hard for something that avoids the major powers until the Sweet 16. | | By: State of Miami | | |

| Canes Make Case For NCAA Tourney | | 2008-03-05 20:15:00 | | Tonight's 74-61 victory over Boston College should solidify Miami's NCAA Tournament bid, regardless of the outcome against FSU or how they fare in the conference tournament. It also ended a 12 game losing streak to the Eagles, who for some reason always have our number.It didn't come easy, as BC ran out to an 11 point lead early in the 2nd half. From there it was all Miami, who relied heavily on the clutch shooting by junior Jack McClinton to open a double digit lead of its own. Frank Haith's crew did a nice job of closing out the game with excellent free throw shooting and even got a chance to let the seniors on the floor for their last home game.The Canes went 14-2 at the BankUnited Center this season. Looking back at the schedule, they won all but one game they should have on their home floor (a bad loss to FSU). Excellent job by Miami in keeping the home advantage in their favor, with ACC road teams being unusually successful this season. I believe the stat is somewhere around 40% | | By: State of Miami | | |

| Braves e palla a spicchi: L'altra faccia dell'Ncaa | | 2008-02-19 03:04:29 | | Da "La Gazzetta dello Sport" di Alessandro RutaLa storia della squadra di Alcorn State, uno dei college meno famosi del campionato universitario statunitense. Budget ridotto all'osso, poche vittorie (3 su 24), allenatore-insegnante e giocatori-autisti per risparmiare sui costiSi chiamano Braves, e forse non a caso, i ragazzi dell'università di Alcorn State. 'Coraggiosi', perché a differenza di molte altre squadre del campionato Ncaa, continuano imperterriti a giocare, nonostante le evidenti difficoltà logistiche. Su 339 atenei partecipanti ai campionati universitari di pallacanestro, il budget dei Braves è il terz'ultimo; tanto per fare un paragone, i Florida Gators con dieci milioni di dollari all'anno provvedono a un solo atleta. Bene, dividete per tre la cifra appena citata e avrete, spicciolo più, spicciolo meno, i soldi a disposizione per tutti i Braves.

| 900 vittorie nella Ncaa: Fa festa il "generale" Knight | | 2008-01-17 17:12:25 | | E' da decenni l'allenatore che non lascia indifferenti: per i suoi metodi "militari" è adorato e allo stesso tempo odiato. Ieri il successo dei suoi Texas Tech contro Texas A&M: un altro record dopo essere diventato il 1° gennaio 2007 il più vincente di sempre.Bobby Knight sceglie il modo migliore per regalarsi la sua 900ª vittoria in carriera. I suoi Red Raiders, infatti, disputano la loro migliore prestazione della stagione e sconfiggono Texas A&M, squadra che occupa il 10° posto del ranking Ncaa, 68-53. Texas Tech gioca un eccellente primo tempo, subisce il ritorno degli Aggies all'inizio della ripresa ma poi, spronata dalle grida di coach Knight, mette la vittoria in cassaforte piazzando un parziale di 20-4. IL GENERALE - Difficile descrivere Bobby Knight, un allenatore che per via dei suoi metodi e del suo carattere, non può lasciare indifferenti. Osannato da molti, criticato da altri ma rispettato praticamente da tutti, il 67enne Knight ha avuto un impatto come pochi sulla pallacanestro collegiale americana nei suoi 42 anni da head coach. Dopo gli inizi ad Army, dove un giovanissimo Knight affinò il suo carattere grazie agli insegnamenti dell'accademia militare americana, "Il Generale" nel 1971 decise di accettare l'offerta della Indiana University, diventando dopo breve tempo non solo il punto di riferimento di tutto il movimento cestistico dello Stato e uno degli allenatori più rispettati del panorama sportivo americano, ma una vera e propria icona in grado perfino di trascendere lo sport. RAGAZZI MODELLO - A Bloomington Knight ha vinto tantissimo, tre campionati Ncaa uno dei quali (nel 1976) con l’incredibile record di 32-0, e lo ha fatto a modo suo. Disciplina ferrea su tutto, metodi militareschi e regole precise, una ricetta universalmente accettata, quasi sempre con grande entusiasmo, da tutti quelli che hanno indossato la maglia degli Hoosiers. Nessuno dei suoi giocatori, inoltre, è mai finito nei guai con la legge o ha avuto p | | By: Matteo Bollini Head Coach | | |

Watch out for this team come March!Here are Mr. Perfect's NCAA Div. I Basketball Rankings:1. North Carolina (a complete domination over NC State)2. Memphis (still hanging tough at No. 2)3.

How sad is it that Florida is only a shell of last years team?Anyway...Here are Mr. Perfect's NCAA Div. I Basketball Rankings:1. North Carolina (what happens if Hansborough goes down?)2. Memphis (very very close 2nd)3. UCLA (beat No. 5 Mich St.)4. Kansas (Darnell Jackson, 67.6%, nuff said)5. Michigan State (Rough early loss to UCLA, but picking it up)6. Washington State (not sold, eassssy early schedule)7. Duke (anyone have someone over 6'8" 250 lbs the devils can borrow?)8. Tennesee (two Top 25 match-ups coming up, Vanderbilt and Mississipi, talk to me then)9. Georgetown (HUGE!)10. Vanderbilt (very strong young team, can prove something with a win over Ten.) If Duke finds a presence down low, they are a Final Four team (Singler? Thomas?). Their small-ball play reminds me a lot of the Phoenix Suns. Georgetown is huge! I'm not sure there are any teams that can match-up in the paint. We will see how good UNC really is as the ACC schedule begins to take shape. If UNC wins the ACC Regular Season Title and the ACC Tournament, no one stops them from a Championship.Weekly Final Four: UNC, Georgetown, UCLA, Kansas | | By: Mr. Perfect's Sports Blog | | |

| NCAA Title Game Preview | | 2008-01-04 13:00:25 | | This year's NCAA football bowl season has been stellar and it'll be capped off with a dandy, as the No. 1 Ohio State Buckeyes battle the No. 2 LSU Tigers for the BCS Championship in the bayou on Monday, Jan. 7 at 8:00pm EST.Hungry to avenge last season's embarrassing loss in the title game against Florida, Ohio State hopes its lengthy layoff doesn't make itself apparent.Because the Big Ten doesn't play a conference championship game, the Buckeyes will take the field at the Louisiana Superdome having a 51 day layoff since beating Michigan 14-3 on Nov. 17. That's the same number of days they had off before last year's 41-14 spanking delivered by the Gators on this very same field.Ohio State has the best defense in the nation having allowed only 10.7 points per game and 225.3 yards. But the stingy unit will be facing a Tigers team that's lightning quick on offense and is the fasted team the Buckeyes will have faced all year.Ohio State finished the regular season at 11-1 SU (straight up) and 7-4 ATS (against the spread). They covered the spread in three of their final four games and in five of their last seven.LSU employs a two-quarterback system of Matt Flynn, who threw for 2,233 yards, 17 touchdowns and 10 interceptions, and Ryan Perrilloux, who had 694 yards passing, eight touchdowns and just two picks. Those players combined to rush for 410 yards, bolstering a ground game led by 1,017-yard rusher Jacob Hester, Keiland Williams (458 yards), Trindon Holliday (351) and Charles Scott (318).Speed burners Brandon LaFell (641 yards), Demetrius Byrd (593) and Early Doucet (474) headline a deep receiving corps.Defensively, LSU is also speedy and solid as they've surrendered only 19.6 (20th-best in the country) points per game and 283.8 yards.The Tigers finished the regular season at 11-2 SU and 5-7-1 ATS. They are also a money-dropping 1-5-1 ATS versus a team with a winning record.LSU's defense will attempt to stop a sometimes-overlooked Ohio State offense that ave | | By: Mr. Perfect's Sports Blog | | |

| TV Scouting: NCAA Week Four | | 2007-09-22 09:17:27 | | We're going to switch gears here in week four, as the match-ups that are mildly interesting feature teams I've already covered, or feature teams I plan to cover in other games later this season. I want to cover one match-up that features a team that I have yet to look at, but features one specific player of interest. After that, I'm going to give you my top 15 players of interest for the Denver Broncos, that both fit the system and fit needs. Now, this list isn't really a "top players" list, as Denver would always like to have the best fifteen players of any draft, but the list will progressively decrease in expected talent and draft location, so as to suggest some early targets for all of our picks. Meaning, the fifteenth player may be an undrafted type, but fit's the system and bears watching. Also, the first couple of names on the list may be too rich for Denver's blood pick-wise, but it's too early to start talking about early or late first, and you ju | | By: Mile High Report | | |

| NCAA Proposal: America Rejects the Metric System | | 2007-07-18 23:13:59 | | NCAA is proposing some amendments to the 2007 Rules Book that would reject the metric system in favor of the imperial system of measurement during collegiate track meets. to summarize the proposals, the 1500m Run would revert to the gold ol' Mile Run, and the field events would all have to be measured, displayed and announced as imperial units. Measuring in metric units would still be allowed for ratification of possible NCAA, American and/or world records. Why? Apparently Americans have rejected the metric system. I for one, never tried to embrace it in the first place. (Just give me a good old quarter-mile track to run on so I can run a few 220's!)The rabid proponents of metrication (metricationists?) on the activist website Go Metric are appalled at such backwards thinking. The track and field fanatics over at the T&F News message boards are engaged in a furious debate. The purists are considering a boycott of NCAA meets while the pragmatists (including E. Garry Hill, Editor of T&F News) see the wisdom of trying to resuscitate a sport that seems to be dying a slow death as a spectator sport in this country.Here is the text from the NCAA proposals: Item 12 – Amend Rules 4.4.4 and 10.3 as follows: Replace all occurrences of the 1500 Meters with the Mile Run.Rationale: The mile run is an event that we, in the United States, understand. The general public understands the four minute barrier. They understand the quality of that performance and have over time used four minutes as a bench-mark performance. The general public has not and will never be able to make the correlation between the 1,500 meters and the mile run.This is an event that allows us to promote our track meets. Once again, the general public has NO understanding of how fast many young men are running and the competitiveness of the event. There is ready-made history for this event, much like the 100-yard dash, that we should tap into as we try to attract more fans. It will also allow for the gen | | By: Finish Line Pundit: A Track & Field Blog | | |

| 2007 NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships Highlights | | 2007-06-09 21:32:00 | | Walter Dix of Florida State lead his team to a second straight team title winning the 100m dash, the 200m dash and helping the FSU win the 4x100m Relay in 38.60. Dix' time of 9.93 in the 100m was the fastest time in the world this year and just 1/100th off of Ato Bolden's NCAA record of 9.92. Dix is looking ahead to the U.S. Championships or Osaka to try and beat the record. His winning time in the 200m was a slowish 20.31 compared to his phenomenal 19.69 from a couple of weeks ago. Arizona State took the women's team title.Other highlights included a tightly-contested men's 1500m final, a tactical women's 1500m race and Baylor's ubiquitous 4x400m Relay team, who competed in their 4,307,683rd straight NCAA final.Seriously, this was "only" Baylor's 27th straight NCAA Final in the men's 4x400m Relay.

| Rupp Gets Outkicked in NCAA Championships 10,000m | | 2007-06-08 18:59:00 | | Shadrack Songok outkicked Galen Rupp on Thursday to take the 2007 NCAA mens 10,000m title at Sacramento, CA in 28:55.83. Rupp was 0.36 seconds back. His plan had been to sit on Songok until there were 3 laps to go. That was a recipe for certain defeat.A while back I commented on this very thing, but Rupp must not be reading my blog, or he chose (perish the thought!) to ignore my advice, which was to begin his press for home from further out – 4 laps. But with the slow pace (4:45 per mile) for the first 5000m (14:45), I'm not sure even that extra lap would have made much of a difference. You see, Rupp's not a kicker, contrary to what Tom Feuer, the FSN announcer, proclaimed (effused?) during the PAC 10 broadcast.What happened to Rupp was exactly the same thing that happened to Steve Prefontaine at the 1972 Munich Olympic 5000m final. The pace for the first half of that race was so slow that it didn't kill the kicks of the speedsters in the race. In the end, 3 men outlicked Pre.Rup | | By: Finish Line Pundit: A Track & Field Blog | | |
