Andrew Ellis – The first 14 years of the new millennium truly were the earth’s glory days. The EA Sports’ NCAA Football franchise still existed and, in turn, our lives were infinitely better than they are today.
Whether it be the mailing of memory cards to some random dude in Washington to get the rosters or the signing of 20 five-star players in Dynasty mode, this franchise probably was a big part of many of our childhoods.
I remember certain battles more vividly than I do many of the other poignant, non-virtual moments of my life. Getting an insanely high “greatness” or “instant classic” score was something my friends and I talked about constantly, even when we were at different schools across the state during our college days.
