I've got a plan that I'm pretty sure we can execute on to do something super fun for the release of the NCAA '25 game for both the players and the users of Surly Horns.

32 Players vs 32 Surlsters in the first round, however it shakes out after that is just whatever. But all 32 people will play at least 1 player.

Surly users who play get a signed thing from the player they end up playing as NIL stuff, can be your choosing or we can pick stuff.

Thinking entry fee of $200 (can go higher, but this is the floor) and that makes a 6400 prize pool for the top 8 Players that participate. Everyone that joins that is a non-player will get stuff like memorabilia, a live stream with the player they are playing etc.

We will livecast every game on surlycast, twitch, youtube etc. Shit talking is STRONGLY encouraged, but no gamer talk - profanity ok. Want it to be a really fun atmosphere and a unique opportunity to fuck with some of the players in a way that most people would never get to in real life.

I'll be shopping the concept around if there's enough interest to fill the 32 slots in the next few days and see if we can't get corporate sponsors to get the prize pool up to 50k for the top 8 players and sweeten the deal with some of the brands tossing in stuff that goes to the surlsters as their NIL prize thingy. 

Thoughts etc welcome, kind of planning this on short notice so need to see interest early to really push on this.

Sounds hilarious and would definitely watch a stream or two but dumb question amnesty alert:

What does " Shit talking is STRONGLY encouraged, but no gamer talk - profanity ok" mean? What is gamer talk vs shit talking?

I’d assume no gamer talk means no dropping the n word

I've never been an online game player, I just play single player games. So shit-talking is fine, but not getting personal. That makes sense, I still want to see @closetojumping get matched up against Taffe and shit talk his coverage skills. Hell you should just charge for that streaming event.

I’d fucking annihilate anyone at that game. I don’t even want to think about how many hours I played NCAA 14. Still need to buy a console to play the new game on though, would rather put the buy-in money towards that. So for that reason, I’m out.

Would be amazing to do a private event at an E-Sports place similar to E-Sports Cave in Cedar Park. They curate tournaments all the time with famous (to 10 yr olds) streamers (for games like Fortnite).

Love the streaming idea as well…I suck at football games, but would donate to watch! If live, would pay to attend / spectate.

All fun and games until your controller gets caught up in your silver chain from Amazon.

So I've never played this game, but my 14-year-old nephew is a savant at it. Can I pay for him to play, use him as my ringer?  Because if that is allowed, y'all might as well just give me your money right now.

17 year-old says "ditto".

I used to be really good at Tecmo Bowl back in the day. I haven't played NCAA or Madden in so long I would end up just mashing buttons and looking confused like a grandpa.

Maybe you can set up some side action for @Armybrat on Pong. 😀

I kind of just want to watch some surly poster shit talk the football team 

This. I haven’t played video games in about a decade, but I think it’s an awesome idea. I can toss some cash towards it as long as I get to watch and shit talk as well

These should be played live on Twitch.

It will be on twitch YouTube and our own native streaming platform.

I haven’t played a video game in probably 20 years. But my 27 and 23 year old sons play just about every day. If they wanted to do this, could I pay their entry fee and just watch their games?

They should get jobs.

This sounds awesome. Count me in! I haven't played any football games in the past several years, so I'll need some practice, but I'm in.

What about fucking their dads? I heard a guy say that one time and it was the funniest thing. The poor bastard streaming didn’t know what to say.

I'm down. I am on PS5 and there doesnt seem to be an answer to cross platform, as I am seeing. Are we doing Heisman difficulty? Streaming on twitch will mean some people will have to change up their set up btw

Can’t you just have someone spectate and screen grab instead of having every fucking person who plays have to stream?

Also, in!
