Saying Happy July 10th really doesn't mean anything to most people. When the latest version of your favorite video game is released then things just got a whole lot more interesting. Another sign that college football is almost here: NCAA Football 13 is now available!

More teams (except South Alabama), more mascots and improved game play. There are are countless new additions and features added this year. Luckily this game launches in the summer so it doesn't effect grades and productivity for most students right away.

Spencer Hall and Dan Rubinstein of SB Nation got their hands on an early copy of NCAA 13 and this was their thoughts.

Mascot games really are the best.

My copy is arriving this afternoon and you better believe I'll be checking it out right away. That is as long as my two year old daughter lets me change the channel from Dora the Explorer without a total meltdown.

I do know that Pistol Pete is still missing from the game. That fact that he was included in previous versions and then disappeared still baffles me today. At least Wyoming now has the brown helmet with gold steamboat available plus the pro combat away jersey.

Just like Dan did it at the end of the video, I'm interested in challenging some readers out there.
