MICHIGAN AND TEXAS A&M REACH FINAL ROUND OF NCAA FOOTBALL COVER VOTE

Denard Robinson and Ryan Swope Go Head-to-Head for the Cover

The NCAA Football Cover Vote has entered the final round, as Michigan’s Denard Robinson and Texas A&M’s Ryan Swope face-off for the opportunity to grace the cover of this year’s game. After six rounds and over 3.1M votes these two athletes remain as the last men standing in the quest for the cover.

Robinson and Swope jumped out to large early leads this round and never looked back. The duo continually battled for the lead throughout, with Robinson ultimately securing the most votes. Robinson has deployed the power of social media to fuel his campaign, while Aggie Nation has shown unprecedented support for Swope.

Final round voting has begun on the NCAA Football Facebook page, and will continue through March 8th. This is the last chance for fans to secure victory for their favored athlete, and vote totals have reset to zero so it’s anyone’s race.

Actually, I could see this one-



My mistake you guys did have a cover. NCAA Gamebreaker had eddie george on it.

I think Archie Griffin would be sweet. But most young kids today have no clue who he is. Maybe If Manziel wins a pair of Heismans they can share a cover.

Touche' I think anyone who abandons an NFL career to serve with his brother in combat and dies should deserve mention. He was underrated as a player, and defied odds to become a star at Arizona State. I guess I just think it would be a patriotic thing for EA to do. I'm not sure how this could generate negative press, or be a controversy. JMO

I don't think EA is going to break their tradition of having outgoing players on the cover. Only 1.5 times have they done it (06 with Desmond and this year with half of it with Barry Sanders).

I'd rather have either one of these guys on the cover than relive someone like Jared Zabransky again. At least both of these guys are going to get drafted.

Before you read my retort, I just want everyone to know that I'd have no issue having Pat on the cover of any NCAA or Madden game and I regard every person who has ever died for our country as a hero.

That said, here is what I'm going to say:

There would be controversy imo if Tillman was on the cover of NCAA or Madden. Tillman was killed by friendly fire and that fact was covered up by many people, including the Army, for quite awhile. He was also against the war and an atheist. Those things rub many people in this country the wrong way. Like "huge protest on release day" wrong way. EA is better off just remembering him as an unlockable player or as a trading card in Madden unless they want to have publicity for something other than their game. He's a hero, but a complicated hero in many eyes.

If EA is going to be patriotic, just let Army/Navy/Air Force either share a cover, or make all 3 teams have a cover to themselves in the same year, similar to what 2k did with NBA 2k12.

How does KU have anything to do with Jared Zabransky being an awful cover athlete?

I'd take Zabransky over Brian Johnson (PS3) and Mark Sanchez (PSP) from NCAA 10. At least I remember the great Fiesta Bowl trickery, which is more good than I can say about Johnson or Sanchez.

I think this is so silly.
It's like if America voted and whoever had the most wins.

Isn't that what the Senate is for?
Equal representation?

Oregon State has no chance in this...

I like PBR idea for a johnny football and archie griffin cover if manziel is able to win the heisman again which I doubt.
Here are your next covers-

15: Clowney
16: manziel

What if Johnny leaves after next year like a lot of people think he will?
 
# 33 boilerup23 @ 02/27/13 03:22 PM
Might as well put Jamarcus Russell on the cover lol

Then there won't even be a vote if he has another great season. They'll just put him on the cover and be done with it. Especially if he wins another Heisman.

There needs to be an O-lineman on the cover (or a defensive lineman at the very least). That's where these games are won, in the trenches.

It's all the bitter buckeye, notre dame and state fans who never have had/ever will have a cover athlete that are voting against Denard.

One way or another, my cover will have Denard on it since I make them with Michigan players for every game.
You do know, just for the record, that pretty much every school in Texas hates A&M, right? Just as a general rule, if you go to a school in Texas that's not UT or A&M, you hate UT and A&M. Doesn't matter if you're at North friggin' Texas, those are the rules.
