Around SBN: Explaining Jeremy Lin's Early, Surprising Success

Come for the football, stay to be Jonathan the Husky's musher

Virtual musher that is. I picked up NCAA Football 11 the other day and noticed that everytime I scored a touchdown, the game encouraged me to "Go celebrate with the mascot!" Well, today I finally made it over to Jonathan, who promptly dropped to his hands and knees and lurched forward as Jordan Todman whipped him from behind. Oh, and it all ends with Jonathan howling at the moon. 

I tried to check and see if Syracuse's celebration ended with someone devouring Otto, but the game is so realistic that whenever you load up Syracuse all you get is a whole lot of this.

As for the game itself, it is a very good game of football, though UConn is criminally underrated. The Huskies are a C+ team. Pittsburgh, the team that Vegas has equally favored with UConn to win the Big East is a B+. Rutgers is a B- and Syracuse, freaking Syracuse is a C+, just like UConn. Virtual Jordan Todman is pretty badass though.

I have only two things to add

1) EA Sports’s NCAA 11 game developer, John Waters, could not be reached for comment.

2) I hope this video is incorporated into the next Octonion

Over at

the mothership, they picked up on the fact that Jonathan appears to be giving the crowd the finger.

In other NCAA 11 news

There is a mode where you can play as school mascots. This is wonderful because it provides me with a chance to make clips like this:
