EA Sports College Football Video Game

I remembered today why it is so dangerous for me to play or even watch the Huskers’ play in a video game, The graphics are so incredibly life-like that I always end up getting emotionally invested in the outcome.

Earlier today, I watched on YouTube USC play Nebraska on EA Sports 26 and when it was over, I was emotionally drained. The only thing good I can say about the experience is, “Thank God, it was nothing but a stupid video game!”

Nebraska took a 13 point lead with 4-ish minutes left in the fourth quarter with a FG to cap off a drive exclusively featuring EJ runs. It was a thing of beauty—I just wished we’d have finished with a TD. Then the Trojans scored to cut it to 6. Then Hunter dropped a wide-open long bomb pass that would have sealed the deal. Then USC drove down to our 1 yard line and was stuffed by the Blackshirts on 4th down!!! Game over, right?

Wrong. We gave up a safety on the very next play. Then USC scored a TD after our punt with seconds left to take a 3-point lead. Then Nebraska did its impersonation of Kansas City vs, Buffalo and tied up the game with 2 seconds left. Then the Trojans prevailed after going back and fourth through FIVE overtimes. I believe 3 of USC’s OT TDs came on third down.

I pray to God I don’t see anything close to a Husker game THAT frustrating this fall.

Ah, you guys are all nuts with the video game NCAA stuff. Hub did that a couple of years. I was soooooo relieved when he hung up his EA sports video games. Regular season is stressful enough without adding video games into the mix.
 
On EA '26 College Football game, Nebraska FB #34 is the stupidest player in the entire game.

At the 25 minute mark of my video, watch the complete non-block he and my OL #59 do. Stuff like this happens ALL the time.
 
NEBRASKA @ MARYLAND

Holy sh** the Terps had a brick wall defense. I literally struggled to run the whole game and their pass defense was incredible.

The game was a lot closer than the score indicated. I had 2 or 3 defensive TDs.

A pass for another TD on the last play of the game??!!?? :huh:

Excuse me, Coach Leatherboots, whatever happened to the classy knee-down victory formation? :) ;)

I went -5 in turnovers to this 3-3 Gophers team, and for that, I was sooooo pissed off, if I could have put 100 on them I would have. That last TD was nothing more than spite. Make them pay for all the turnovers I lost. Besides, PJ Fleck is an a-hole so I wanted to also humiliate him and his boat rowing clowns.

@DrFumble ... That pick six Minnesota had, made me so mad because in my brain, I wanted to throw the ball to my L1 receiver who was wide open. But my brain caused my hand to push the square button to throw to Key. That's one thing about this game, I see the open receiver I *want* to throw to, but sometimes, somewhere between my eyes and hands, the information gets lost and I throw to the wrong receiver.
 
And just for funsies, here is an exhibition game. Kind of a wild offensive shootout the Big 12 is usually know for.

Nebraska @ Texas Tech

NEBRASKA vs NORTHWESTERN

Playing this game, I have my mic muted and I am glad I did because I was raging at all the sheer, utter horsesh** Northwestern does.

I was raging at your decision to go for it on fourth down late in the game when an easy FG would seal the win. Glad you called a TO and reconsidered. Whether you made it or not, I was fixin' to give Coach Leatherboots some serious grief for that call.

BTW, I'm glad I don't have to watch your post-game pressers. Bo was bad enough.

Do you actually watch the whole game or just zoom to near the end?

And for the record, my hypothetical press conferences would be calm, cool, and collected because, unlike the guy you mentioned, I wouldn't blame the press or fans for my coaching mistakes during the game.

:p
 
The Scene: Coach Marci Leatherboots' opening remarks in her post-game presser following EA Sports Nebraska's disappointing win over Northwestern.

Coach Leatherboots: Playing this game, I have my mic muted and I am glad I did because I was raging at all the sheer, utter horsesh** Northwestern does. Computer makes my defenders drop coverages giving them easy first downs and touchdowns...

(Stunned silence from the assembled media)

Leatherboots: Uh, okay...now I'll open it up for questions.

Fumble: Coach, Coach, Coach...(frantically waving his hand for attention)....Coach, I'm curious why did you consider going for it on fourth down late in the game when a 20 yard FG sealed the win? What was THAT about??!?

Leatherboots: (sneering at the reporter) Did you actually watch the whole game or just drink beer in the concourse until near the end?

Fumble: (hiding the beer can of Husker Zipline sitting in front of him) What does that have to do with my question, Coach?

Leatherboots: (doing her best female Bo Pelini impression) What's with your loaded question??!? I know you, Fumble--You've had it out for me the whole season! I saw your 'hit' piece on me in BHF after the Minnesota game. I don't have to justify my actions to YOU! You're as big an a-hole as P.J. Fleck!!!

This is why I don't turn my camera or have my mic on...

Sorry Fumble, I'm just not finding any humor in being compared, even hypothetically and imaginary, to Bo Pelini.
