Man! I could have been in all of your NCAA Football 2003 games! (1 Viewer)

Something just struck me, and I confirmed it with my girlfriend that my memory is correct and I'm not just imagining it.
I always started EA's NCAA Football 2003 on my XBox and went to do something else while it loaded up (get a glass of water, bathroom break, whatever). So I always missed the intro screen where random students yell "EA Sports! It's in the Game!" right after the EA Sports logo.
Well, I was at UCLA's Drake Stadium for the UCLA football team's Scrimmage a few months ago, and there was this camera crew asking people to stand in front of the camera and yell those words! My girlfriend pointed them out to me, and I thought it was just them shooting some lame promo or commercial or something. I told her I didn't want to go over and make an idiot of myself.
Now as I watch the intro to the game, I've seen two clips from that very spot! (As well as a couple of others from around UCLA's campus)
Man, I should have gone over there! I have three friends who are hooked on this game and I would have loved to see the looks on their faces if I popped up on their TV screens yelling "EA Sports, it's in the game!"

That would've been cool, if you had made it in there.

I love those intros! I've only seen it repeat itself one time so far (Arizona State).

Have any of you guys seen an intro for Oklahoma yet? If there's an OU intro in there, I have yet to see it. . .

Have you set your "Favorite Team" preference yet? Maybe that's why I have seen multiple intros for UCLA? Of course, the fact that I've played almost three seasons may also have something to do with that...
One thing is for sure, if those guys are out there again at next year's scrimmage, I'm going in Coach!

I have my favorite team set to Nebraska, and have never seen an NU one. I've seen the Michigan one several times, which makes me nauseous...

Joel,
Funny, I have my favorite team set to Michigan, and have never seen the Michigan intro but have seen the NU intro multiple times. Now that makes ME nauseous.
The '97 split National Championship is still being debated!!!

Hmmmm...there must be some interesting thought processes going on at EA Sports....
