When you go to a particular school or grow up around college football, you are more than just a fan. It's who you are. We thought we could leverage this pride in your roots and show that "where you come from" is more than just a statement about geography. By positioning NCAA Football 11 as a game that understands this pride and is authentic to these traditions, the takeaway should be that anything that is in college football is in NCAA Football 11.

And this doesn't just include game play (though that's a huge part of it). It's rivals and mascots; it's legends and stories. It's those things that are at the very fabric of the game itself. Of course the game is great this year as well. With authentic entrances, mascots and specific offenses for each team, the term "where I come from" takes on a much larger meaning. While playing NCAA Football 11 is ultimately a great sports sim, it should also give you a sense of the pride and emotion one has for being a fan of a team they will never not be a part of.

What the hell does EA Sports NCAA Football 2011 have to do with Hoya hoops after The Jump:

So it goes.  Our last post in the most fun series we've ever done on this website - the promotion of EA Sports NCAA Football 2011.  If it's in the game, it's in the game.

10.  Who will replace Matt Henry as goofy white assistant coach that JT3 dogs during games?

I thoroughly enjoyed watching Henry get bitch slapped by JT3 on multiple occasions last year.  Here's hoping for a solid 2010-2011 campaign from our new white person on the bench du jour.

9.  Has Hollis Thompson gained any weight?

It is important for the Hoyas that Hollis can play the 3 next year and rebound.  For this to happen, he will need to weigh more than 115 pounds soaking wet.

8.  Who will step into play the 4?

Hollis Thompson can't be the starting power forward.  We saw how that worked out for the 2008-2009 Hoyas when DaJuan Summers played out of position.  We need Henry Sims or Nate Lubick to step in and contribute at the 4.

7.  Does Henry Sims have anything in the tank?

We're hoping that the former top recruit has a huge year this year, although early indications from summer league don't sound as promising as we'd like.  We've been on record saying we are huge Hank fans, from his Tweeting to his athletic ability.  Come on big fella.

6.  Can Moses Abraham contribute this year?

It'd be great if the man with the biblical name could give us 10 minutes so that he can spell Julian Vaughn, who wore down late in the season due to excessive minutes last year.

This is the 2nd of about 100 consecutive daily posts in which we will write about odd Georgetown basketball topics in order to promote EA Sports' NCAA Football 2011.  Yesterday we kicked off the series by telling you how Jim Boeheim's murdering of precious innocent dogs caused us to be Georgetown fans, and today we continue the series with a look at my personal favorite all-time Georgetown Hoyas squad, the 1996 Elite Eight team.
