Taking a moment before digging into the game-by-game predictions for Shelley Urban Meyer’s Florida Gators, EDSBS reflects on the apparent very coolness of BGSU QB Omar Jacobs in NCAA 2006:
“Omar can fucking thrash people in that game. Take joy in the fact that your team can lay claim to one of the greatest video game qbs ever. Seriously, it’s “near-Jerome-Bettis-in-College Football’s-National-Championship†level domination. Raise a pimp cup.”
I couldn’t agree more, and I don’t even own the game. (What kind of sacrilege is that!?!? Part of the inaugural megalopolis that is BlogPoll I, and I don’t even own the seminal videogame related to the craft. But I can use big words!)
So, while I never hesitate to raise a worthy pimp cup, if Omar is going to lay claim to being the best video game QB ever, he’s gonna have to do alot ot top this guy:
Forget all the true-to-life graphics, the mascots, the fight songs, the announcer catch phrases that grate on your nerves with their repetitiveness two weeks into playing… Give me the bomb to the guy running along the top of the screen any day of the week.
Though I’ll gladly save 12 more pimp cups for Omar and the boys this fall.
How many times did you beat me with that play? It still pisses me off.
There is still no better videogame football player than Bo Jackson in Super Tecmo Bowl. David Fulcher was a sleeper on defense too.
Omar Jacobs is really good in that game. That said, I am Wisconsin in Dynasty Mode, and after Tennessee beat me 34-27 while I tried to figure out the new controller configuration (real men don’t read instructions), I picked Jacobs three times and beat Bowling Green 38-7.
Take that, Omar. Now just do that in real life September 3 and I’ll be all happy and stuff. Throw your 50 TDs in the other 10 games, please.
