Are so stupid.  It seems adrian peterson and leinhart are the spokesman advertisers of the game.  Each commercial depicts them in thier final college game (bowl game) leading their team to victory on the final play.  
Leinhart says something about putting and end to vince's miracle and AP compares OU and BSU to david and goliath but says hes goliath and some OU guy makes the tackle short of the goaline on BSU's famous statue of liberty 2 point conversion.

To say the least, I dont get it.  Both guys lost, and OU in one of the greatest and most epic football games ever played.  I find it dispicable for EA to try and diminish the greatest win in BSU's history like that.  I like both AP and Leinhart but neither are champions.

Any thoughts?

Yeah, i don't like the Fiesta Bowl commercial. That was an amazing game, and shouldn't be in the commercial that way.

yea, but why would they do that anyway?  it just seems so absurd.  Why not get zabrasky (spelling) to be the cover boy instead seeing as he actually won the game...

i think they are just basing the commercials on the fact that you can "control destiny when you play the game". that being said, i completely agree with the complaints about the Boise St. vs. OU bowl game. i think it would almost be better to have commentary from the players about that moment while its shown on screen happening the way it actually did in real life. I hate seeing the Boise running back get stopped at the line every time in the commercial.
