Virginia- nice stadium , bad fans.
When I say bad fans I mean disrespectful and classless .
Its all good though cause we went down their and stomp them out.

Elmira, we’re even more disrespectful and classless in College Park. We make opposing players’ families cry with our expletive-laced tirades, and then we set couches on fire out on Route 1 for no real reason. Our “F*** Duke” chant and shirts are famous (because they’re obviously so clever
). Granted, I’m a New Yorker living in DC, but I always loved those crazy Terp fans.

Memo to EA: Gameplay is more important than a pretty court.

I think this is a good idea but, we all know some people wil complain that there school isnt part of this and start bashing EA. With 2K putting College Hoops 2k9 on the shelf one would think EA would try to do more. But as we ALL know people will say that they dont have to do anything anymore. They have the only college bball game on the market just like NFL. I hope it all works for the best for us as gamers.

Shouldn’t courts have been included in the actual game and not DLC?

Most of my buddies went to CP. I went to a small, private, GOOD school however =). College Park can be a great place to party, but yeah, most of the students come from affluent and predominantly white Montgomery County, MD. People from there (including myself, as I’ve been here 15 years now) have a bit of a skewed perception of what is right and wrong, acceptable and unacceptable. It shows with Terps fans… It starts all in good fun, but quickly gets way out of hand.
I know it’s bad when I got back home to NY and I’m over the top! We have fun around CP though =).

It’d be nice, but considering there are what 327 Div I teams thats just not realistic to expect authentic arenas for every one. Both college games only have have a limited amount of the real arenas.
