I saw an article this morning about an EA Sports contest to pick which college mascot it will feature on the cover of its NCAA Football 09 Nintendo Wii game. Immediately, I though of the Madden curse. Basically, the Madden curse is this: the player who is featured on the EA Sports Madden NFL Football cover tends to have a subpar season or have a fairly significant injury that season. The question is whether this curse will extend to the featured mascot. The jury is still out whether a curse exists for EA Sports NCAA Football at all, so I won’t lose sleep over this. But I also might not vote passionately for the Nittany Lion. Unfortunately, there is no Michigan Wolverine to vote for. Sigh.
But vote at your own risk…or the risk of your college mascot.
