No mention of the College Football board game(s)?
While the article is mainly about the pro football version, there is a mention of the college football computer game, so why isn't there a mention of the two college football board games?

The second one uses the same rules and board as the pro version, except that the restriction on using player names led to fewer players per team. For example, each team usually has one quarterback card and one receiver card (with different values on it for different receiving positions).

The first one, on the other hand, is a little more abstract. There are 80 or so game cards; each one has two numbers from 1 to 10, one marked "Offense" and the other "Defense". Each team's card has six plays on it, and is two-sided, with one side having a blue border and odd numbers for each play (from -9 to +9) and the other side having a red border and even numbers (from -8 to +8). Each player had a number (7 or 8, I think) of game cards in his hand at any point, and chose plays as in the pro game, but then, instead of rolling dice, each player played a card; one card was subtracted from the other to get a result. Odd-numbered results were looked up on the offensive player's card, and even-numbered results on the defensive player's card. On run plays, higher numbers benefited the offense; on pass plays, lower numbers did. When the game cards ran out, the quarter ended. This was originally intended to be season-by-season, but this was quickly replaced by a set of "historical teams". -- That Don Guy (talk) 20:30, 30 June 2010 (UTC)
