UPDATE: Forget the simulation, WE WON!
When I realized I wouldn’t be in Bowling Green to see the football game against Marshall, I was bummed. But then I thought: Why not simulate the game?
Are you still in a turkey (or ham) coma from yesterday? Are you stuck outside of Bowling Green, eagerly awaiting the football news on your Twitter feed? Do you feel a little bit guilty that you’re not at the game, but just have other plans for your Thanksgiving break?
I booted up my copy of NCAA football ‘13 and set up a game between WKU and Marshall. The results are all below. Be warned: this match-up doesn’t end too well in videogame world. Here’s hoping the real thing goes better! Go Tops!
