OTish: What signs tell you that Football is coming?

Submitted by JeepinBen on

In the good ol' days, my late July would involve unwrapping the latest NCAA video game, downloading a Denard Robinson cover, and hyping myself up by winning 5 NCs in a row with Michigan.

Now, since the NCAA is dumb and won't pay players their value, we don't have that video game to look forward to. What signals you that football is coming? HTTV, various hype videos, other MGoBlog stuff helps... but I'm missing that NCAA videogame fix.

Yep, same here for a number of years now ...

And then family vacation/trip at this time where I read HTTV on the beach/boat/plane and then come back from vacation with NFL camps going, pre-season games and Labor Day excruciatingly close ...

There's a poster on here who makes a pre-season hype video every year that's about 8-9 minutes long and is usually set to an Explosions In The Sky song. I always look forward to that.

Will they be allowed to use real college teams, stadiums, bowl games, fight songs, heisman trophy etc. If not, then what's the point. 2K tried that by making All-Pro Football without an NFL license and it was a complete waste. I have zero interest in playing a game with a generic Michigan team (no winged helmet or Block M) and you can't play at the Big House.
