Today EA Sports accounced that the Michigan State mascot Sparty has won the voting for the cover of the Wii version of NCAA Football 09. He joins Arkansas’ Darren McFadden and three future announced cover athletes that will represent the different platform versions of the game this year.
After looking at EA’s voting page and the support that Sparty had received from facebook groups, forums I’m not surprised he beat out Washington State’s Butch T. Cougar to take the cover. It seems people in Lansing worked that campaign trail hard making his campaign the strongest and most organized. And with all the hard work, they got their guy’s face on the cover.
Obama vs Clinton this is not.
Over 700,000 votes were cast resulting in a very close race. The final top 10 went as follows: Michigan State, Central Florida, Washington State, Auburn, LSU, Nebraska, Kansas, Iowa State, Alabama, Penn State.
*Please note that the cover art pictured above is not final. This was put together quickly just for promotional purposes to go along with the announcement. The final cover art should be released soon. As soon as it is I will be sure to post it.
