Tuesdays with Romo: NCAA 09, Yay!!!

If you're a video game junkie like myself (and you don't have a life), then you know that this is the time of the year when the two biggest sports games come out. EA Sports is releasing Madden 09 and NCAA 09, which will be coming out over the course of the next month.

While Madden 09 will come out on August 12, NCAA 09 will be the first to arrive on store shelves on July 15.

I love both video game franchises. I'll save my Madden comments for August. Right now, I have to talk about my second favorite football game.

NCAA 09, I love it! This game is awesome. It will be out on PS2, PS3, Nintendo Wii and X-Box 360. The game will feature multiple players as the cover, including Darren McFadden, Matt Ryan, De Sean Jackson and Owen Schmitt.

I've had quite a few memories playing this game. I've always made a concerted effort to rent the game when it came out.

I always enjoy the option. I remember this one time I played as Michigan State and I would run the option on every offensive play. If I would get sacked, I would pitch the ball to my running back and he would proceed to carry it 10-12 yards.

Ooh how those defenses hated me for doing that! I'm a gamer and you can be sure that I'll give it my all if you ever face me!

Friday Briefs Pt. 2: Oh No Romo, He's Picking College Games

That's right, it's the first weekend of college football and one tradition I hold near and dear to me is that I pick College Football games on Friday. Hopefully my picks will be right on and I'll have a great year.

Being that this is only the first week, most of the good teams will be facing weaker teams and teams from the playoff subdivision (I-AA).

So I better go 5-0 this week, let's get it going.

1. Tennessee over Cal- It's time for Erik Ainge to prove he's the real deal, this is the Vols first true test
2. Georgia Tech over Notre Dame- The Yellow Jackets came close last year, this year, no Brady Quinn= Big win for the Jackets
3. Auburn over Kansas State- Check this guy out
4. Virginia Tech over East Carolina- Win or lose, the Hokies will unite the Blacksburg Campus
5. TCU over Baylor- Nothing to add

I'll do a weekend wrap-up after all the college games are over.

Enjoy this weekend.
