      Since Barry already tweeted that he will be on the DP show tomorrow at 11:30(i think), it pretty much solidifies it.
      I will be in class around that time, so I will catch up to it later.

      Barry Sanders officially announced. He's coming up on the Dan Patrick Show after their next commercial break. You can listen online or watch on DirecTV's Audience Network (Channel 101).

      There's not a single manufacturer's logo in the entire shot. I wonder if part of that is due to Baylor being a Nike school and RGIII having a deal with adidas and EA wanting to appease both parties.

      EDIT - If I work in the Baylor Athletic Department, I'd get posters & banners of the cover and place them all over campus or anywhere recruits go on visits. Three prominent Baylor logos/text in the pic....the school has to love that.

      Glad Barry won but I'd be really surprised if I play this Heisman mode that much (none at all if there are no PS3 trophies attached to it)

      I don't care for it. I don't like the black and white background. To me, that kind of makes the whole thing a little drab and dreary.

      That said, the cover has never done anything for me at all. It sits on a shelf, that's it. I do think the right guys are on the cover this year, however.

      You google'd Hershel Walker?! I mean, I'm not old enough to have seen his college days but I remember getting heavy dose of it while he was in the NFL (especially with my Eagles). Man... I feel old... at only 27.

      Semi-related I've always suspected that EA uses the trophies for things that otherwise wouldn't get much use (My Player Mode or whatever it is called as an example). In fact, I saw someone from EA say man we had allot more people play that mode this year b/c of the improvements we made. When in fact I bet a high % of that increase was due to nothing more than Trophies/Achievements being attached to it.

      Took the words right out of my mouth. I played a little of Road to Glory, but even with the updates, I never even made it to the HS state championship game before I ended up spending all my time in dynasty and never touched RTG again. Unless this new mode is as good as sex, I doubt I'll play it very much either.
