NCAA Basketball 10: Now fully Gus-ified

There are few combinations in life better than pepperoni pizza and Papa John’s garlic butter sauce. I spent the morning daydreaming about dipping that first slice at kickoff tonight.

 

I will now spend the afternoon daydreaming about one of the few combinations that tops pizza and buttery, garlicy brilliance: College basketball and Gus Johnson.

 

EA – the video game manufacturer, not the stalked sideline reporter – has picked Gus to be the voice of NCAA Basketball 10. This is not a joke.

 

 You'll note Jason Bohannon Guard #12 for Wisconsin gets some air time in the clip at about the 40-second mark. 

I don’t own a video game system any more advanced than regular Nintendo (TECMO Super Bowl Oilers currently 9-0!), but I’m buying a PS2 just for this game.

 

And you know what? I’ll buy the thing with absolutely no intention of ever actually playing the game. Just sit on my couch and simulate game after game as I drink on some Friday night.

 

HA HA!
