Sit back and be dazzled.
How exciting! It’s April and spring is upon us. Baseball season recently started, the NBA and NHL are about to begin their playoff runs, and the PGA Masters just crowned a new green jacket owner.

Or what Bobby Boucher’s momma likes to call “foosball” and the devil.
Though we’re a few months away from any meaningful games of football, we can still get excited about what’s there to come.

Details, details, details—the little things always matter and NCAA Football 14 seems to be focusing on those slight particulars, tiny adjustments such as runners now hard-cutting rather than constantly swerving.
