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.

Official Cover art

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.

Here is the article from the official product site announcing Barry as the winner.

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)

[Little Steve]

i think the fact he would win was a given, he's a household name. i had to google the other guy...and everybody eles too....

i have only been a collage football fan when uc took off in the 09 season.

This makes me feel old.

You had to Google Hershel Walker?

[JBHuskers]

P.S. that cover is badass.

i'm guessing that little steve is in high school or middle school.

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.

lol..I dont know ? kids arent that dumb...baylor gets one great storied player in decades..I dont think that will attract enough for Baylor to be relevent long term.....Harold Jackson was a receivers coach there a long while back

[ram29jackson]

Barry won = of course he did, I'm sure in the video game world, he'd be right up there with Vick

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.
