Like John Madden, Walsh lent his name to early EA Sports video games

There were two under the "Bill Walsh College Football" franchise: Bill Walsh College Football (1993) and Bill Walsh College Football 95 (1994). These games were the parents of the current NCAA Football series which continues this year with NCAA Football 08. At the time, EA couldn't get the licensing for the real NCAA teams (the first version had teams named after their city and colors that matched the team) --however they did secure the Bill Walsh name. This was meant to echo the Madden NFL series which was started a few years earlier. Something about this ought to be added. --Bobak 21:57, 30 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Plagiarism

The third paragraph is completely ripped off word-for-word from this article. 199.106.195.8 02:59, 31 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

So is the second actually. 199.106.195.8 03:00, 31 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Then I suggest that somebody rewrite it. Crassic 03:33, 31 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Bill Walsh

There is one error that I know of personally in the article about Bill Walsh. I played football in high school with Bill Walsh. He was older and on the varsity whereas I was Jr. Varsity. When the JVs scrimmaged the varsity he was right across the line from me. I can refer you to at least one other player whom I know is still living and can verify that we, including Bill Walsh, went to Hayward Union High School in Hayward CA. I went from high school up to WSU to play ball, but had to drop out and come back to CA and I ended up once again in the same school, San Jose State, as Bill Walsh.KWR 23:59, 9 August 2007 (UTC) The article mentions Bill going to an Illinois High School and coached by the famed legend Dan Rourke. The following is directly from your page on that high school and that coach - " Glenwood's sport scene is dominated by the football season. The team has been coached by Dan Rourke since 1993." Bill Walsh was in high school, Hayward High School, in the early 50s.71.9.36.241 17:43, 11 August 2007 (UTC)71.9.36.241 17:50, 11 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
