I just got married, so I am broke!
1. Because despite living across the Atlantic (in London), I pay ridiculous amounts of money and stay up until the wee hours of the morning to watch live streams of UT games online. I fly back for at least three games a year.
2. Because I literally cry every time the Vols lose.
3. Because when I was in law school at Berkeley, I flew to the Cal-Tennessee game in Knoxville, sat in the Cal student section wearing orange from head to toe, and had the pleasure of convincing the Cal students just how much their team sucked that year. While in law school, I never once wore Cal gear so as to make my allegiance to the one true alma mater very clear!
4. My devotion to the Vols knows no bounds!
Although my disquished colleques are loyal fans of the Orange and White, and their devotion to UT Sports in unmeasurable…..I am clearly a better canidate for the EA Sports NCAA Football 2009 because of my deep seeded roots of being born in the great state of Tennessee (God’s Country) having personnaly breathed the same air as the last 4 Head Football Coaches, proximity can be debatable :), However, it can be said that Peyton Manning and I shared the same highway and numerous occasions. I actually watched the two remaining games that UT beat Bama when the Paul “Bear” Bryant was the head coach…..yes this game is clearly mine for numerous reason that…I can not put on this page or prove, but I love the Vols!!!!!!!!!!!!
I should win because I have owned every version of this game since 97 and I always dominate with the Vols.
I am in the military Fighting for my country defending the luxuries that you all enjoy.
I am away from my families the extended family and my big orange family
I get up at 2 in the morning just to watch Vol games no matter the sport
This will be the first season in awhile where I am not deployed to watch my son play and play a video game with him
If I win the game I will use it for the good of VolNation.
I will video tape all of the Gators hand signals, and their playbook and send it to Jon Chavis, and when we shut out the Gators this season it will be because VolFreak made the right decision….the decision to end this contest now and declare me the winner
GO VOLS
Why should I win?
Why do we drive on parkways and park on driveways?
Why do you need a driver’s license to buy booze when you can’t drink and drive?
Why is a boxing ring square?
Why does the sun lighten our hair, but darken our skin?
You know that little indestructible black box that is used on planes? Why can’t they make the whole plane out of the same substance?
Why is the third hand on the watch called a second hand?
Why ask Why? The real question you should be asking me is my address so we can seal the deal.
I have been deprived of playing an NCAA Football game since the 06 game came out. I think im deserving of the game because I want to know the joy of playing that brand spankin’ new game the day it comes out. It would feel like Christmas morning to acually win a contest, which I never have. Please let this 16 year old feel the joy of winning.
i have read every contestant’s entry on here so far, and all but one have said why they should win. i thought about going that route and start by saying i am an entering college freshman so i will not have any extra money to spend to buy this game. i am in the process of trying to buy a car, but i dont have enough money for that either. but i decided against going that way to try to get you to give me NCAA 09. but instead i will think of the reasons to why i shouldn’t win…… well, i cant think of any so i guess i should win!!! ha
Ok, here’s my NCAA story, it has completely flipped my life upside down.
During my sophomore year of college my friends and I were obsessed with NCAA ‘06. We played game after game, day after day. Classes were ignored, homework was postponed, and tests were rarely studied for. The competition was fierce, each of my roommates believing we were the true masters of NCAA football.
For fairness, we implemented a rule where no running QBs could be used, as they often led to scrambles every pass play. This kept the game as real as possible and more intense than ever. If someone suffered a loss, it was not uncommon for George Carlin’s “Seven Dirty Words” to be referenced (to put it politely), chairs to be knocked over, and doors to be slammed shut.
During one particular game, Tennessee (me) vs LSU (my friend), my friend felt quite confident being up by 7 with thirty seconds to go and the ball. Instead of running the ball, my friend, being the cocky SOB he is, decided to throw a hail mary to counter my punt block defense on 2nd and 8. The ball hung in the air as the grin on my friend’s face shined in my peripheral vision. It soon disappeared, however, as the lone man back to receive the punt snatched it out of the air. What happened next was a blur, spin moves, jukes, everything I had, Jonathan Hefney had taken it too the house. I heard John Ward in the back of my head, “TOUCHDOWN TENNESSEE!”
No worries, my friend thought, overtime. Nay, not today. I went for two. I picked the play he would never expect. A QB Draw with the one, the only, Eric Ainge. It took only a few seconds, but it seemed like a minute as Ainge stumbled his way into the endzone. I had won, victory! My friend, fuming, got up and as I laughed, tackled me. A small scuffle occurred next, and eventually campus security was called. Instead of punishing us they decided to call our parents. It was one little fight, but my mom was furious and scared. I begged, I pleaded with her, nope, her decision was final, “you’re moving with your auntie and uncle in bel-air!”
I whistled for a cab and when it came near
The license plate said fresh and it had dice in the mirror
If anything I can say this cab is rare
But I thought nah forget it – ‘Yo homes to Bel Air’
I pulled up to the house about 7 or 8
And I yelled to the cabbie ‘Yo homes smell ya later’
I looked at my kingdom
I was finally there
To sit on my throne as the Prince of Bel Air
Im not sure if I really deserve this game but I could come up with some reasons why I might..I have been coming to UT games since I was a baby..I will never forget while I was growing up parking really far away from the stadium off 17th street exit.. My dad didnt really have the money to pay for parking since he worked 2 jobs. So when we would arrive to the game right at game time. Half the time we would run all the way to the stadium just to make sure I got to see the team run through the power “T”. Some other games when he didnt have to work on Saturdays so we would get there in time for the band to come down the hill..I will never forget riding on my Dad’s shoulders watching the band come down..Never once did he complain that I was too heavy even though this continued on till I was about 9 or 10 years old.. I started to get addicted to UT football and have been ever since..I seriously could almost name every years starting lineup since the early 90’s.. I always had a dream to one day run through that T, but I was a little too short and a tad too slow for Division 1 football. After high school, I had a chance to go play football but it was all smaller schools that offered me..When it came down to it, I decided that I would rather give up football and go to UT as a student..This way I could still watch every game and enjoy the team I loved. Too this day I dont regret missing out on playing becuase I had alot of great memories while I was there watching them play and some bad ones..Till this day my blood runs orange and that will never change no matter how many wins and whoever the coach is..
OK so I supposed to tell you the reasons I deserve this game. Well lets just do this in list format, shall we?
#1) I have a pregnant wife that is expected to give birth to my first son near Sept 2nd which is very close to opening day for the Vols and I have this sinking feeling video games might just become something I do when I can’t sleep and I am not really sure how many Vol games I will be able to take in with a newborn and all.
#2) I am a realtor, So I guess you all have heard the news by now, business has slowed and we are all broke. Well maybe not broke but lets just say the income got cut a little and by a lttle I mean ALOT, but I am still keeping groceries on the table and my wife and I are not in stupid debt so we are just fine but that disposable income just got disposed.
#3) And the 3rd and final reason I deserve this is because I suck, ask anyone who has played call of duty 4 with me, I am terrible. And its not just at that game I am horrible at Nascar and Football, and yes even roller coaster builder. I never win anything, EVER. I once registered for 3 door prizes at an Open House that only 4 people showed for and I didn’t win I mean really. I need to thank the guys that still play COD4 with me and carry me through each and every game but come on it is time that I win something, sometime, somewhere, PLEASE HELP.
Thank you VolNation for your consideration.

I just wanna say, I dedicate this speech to all of the LOYAL, WONDERFUL, spontaneous, courageous, extraordinary, marvelous, spectacular, incomprehensible, inconceivable, incredible, phenomenal, sensational, captivating, entertaining, yet fascinating VolNation Mods out there!
And to Vol_Freak, yes you. What can I say… Unique, uncommon, outstanding, remarkable, charitable, self-sacrificing, generous, greathearted, openhearted, compassionate, humane, & kind. Just wanna say thank you, for all of the hard work. If it was up to me, you guys would win the Nobel Prize, every year!
As for my speech, I would just like to say…
I now hear there is a “NCAA Football 09, VN Giveaway”. I would very much like to win this competition. If you could do me that favor, I will continue to post on this board.
You’re Welcome.
xTennesseex, or as some of you know me as on XLive. FLORIDAPC.
GO VOLS!!!!
sounds good
I just need a break. Eric and Juicy Locke are living in my basement.
They talked me into letting them live here, since their previous landlord wasn’t recognizing their true potential, always wanting them to earn their keep.
They still insist it’ll all be worth it, just as soon as Eric (with Juicy as his publicity agent) hit it big in the NFL. Any day now!
Maybe if I had the game, they’d leave me alone for a while…
oo piece of candy!
I should be the winner because I will buy the contest organizers a case of beer. If you don’t drink beer, tell me what you do drink and we’ll work something out.
Oh yeah, and I’m the coolest “begger-for-the-win” you have on this site now. Go Vols!!!
Oh, and I’m gonna post this video of Arian Foster teaching white girls how to “Walk It Out.”
Ok, the video didn’t embed correctly, so here’s the link. Enjoy!!!

I should win because I am in the military serving our great nation and I had to move away from Knoxville to do it. No more season openers. But if I could atleast play the season opener on my XBOX it would make it a little easier to cope. I love VolCountry and I even pay extra just to get all the football games on my DISH. I am having a baby in Oct. and his middle name is looking like it’s going to be Neyland. That’s how much I love the Orange and White. Thanks for the consideration. Ah hoo! – A1C Tate
I love UT football??
i don’t know! I just want the game for any system lol
If I don’t win I will suicide bomb this site
Because I am a poor Dad with 2 boys in College. Go Vols!
Well, seeing as how it is my birthday the night it comes out I think that I deserve a free shot at the game. Plus, if I win in I am a pretty easy win online so you can build up your ranked status while I cuss and throw things at the TV. Oh yeah, I am broke and in college so what else is there to do??????
Shenanigans
I’m n! Thanks
Count me in!
I have bought NCAA football the past 4 years for my son’s playstation and it has cost me $50 a year each year. Now he has an XBOX Live and it is $60. I also absolutely love college football, and of course the Big Orange! Truth is, I will play it as much as he will, so I will definitely be buying it. So, if I win, I can save 60 bucks, which can go toward my UT game tickets instead! Go Vols and thanks for the chance enter!
GO VOLS!!!
My fiance promised if I won the game I would be allowed to put a PS3 on the registry. Since it is currently filled with sheets, towels, plates, etc I think it would definitely help me get one. I mean, what guy wants to buy his friend sheets? Help a dying man out!
I think you should give me this game because I have a 53-1 record while playing in Neyland stadium with EA Sports NCAA Football. I need this game.. Gotta Have it. And with gas prices.. You would save me huge by not having to drive to the store to get it.
Also, it would give me girlfriend something else to complain about and hey, thats what keeps our relationship going.
In the end, you would be saving man kind and the world for that matter by giving me this game.
The future lies in your hands.. How will you choose..
Go VOLS!!
Tennessee Pride!
(360)
Go Vols!, nuff’ said.
The graphics on this new game is amazing!!…Saw it at best buy the other night!
because I will at UT in the Fall and i’ll be able to share the game with the other students, sharing is caring
Did anyone notice on NCAA ‘09 that Tennessee’s Jerseys are the wrong orange. They look more like a clemson or florida orange (meaning they look too dark)??
