Real-life coaches aren’t the only thing that will be debuting in EA Sports’ “College Football 26.” The Pop-Tarts Bowl mascot will also make its video game debut in “College Football 26,” EA Sports announced Monday.
The inclusion of the Pop-Tarts Bowl mascot in “College Football 26” was part of an announcement that the video game will have more unique game atmospheres, band covers and drumlines, new mascots, new touchdown celebrations and custom chants and celebrations. The Pop-Tarts Bowl mascot was the only bowl game mascot included in Monday’s announcement, while Iowa, Iowa State and Texas Tech’s mascots were among the 35 new mascots that will be added to the game.
After Kellogg’s gave Pop-Tarts naming rights to the bowl game formerly known as the Cheez-It Bowl in 2023, the Pop-Tarts Bowl has become one of the more popular non-College Football Playoff bowl games. One of the reasons for that is the postgame celebration, in which the MVP of the game gets to pick which mascot flavor will go into a toaster. Once the mascot goes through the toaster, players on the winning team get to eat the mascot.
This past year, Iowa State quarterback Rocco Becht sent the Cinnamon Roll Pop-Tarts mascot to the toaster following its win over Miami (Fla.). Kansas State also picked the Cinnamon Roll Pop-Tarts mascot to put in the toaster a year prior.

It’s unclear if the postgame celebration will be included in “College Football 26.”
Beyond the mascots, EA Sports unveiled images and videos of how different runouts for each team will look in “College Football 26.” For Ohio State, the pregame drone show is included.

Several teams will also have light shows included for their runouts in primetime games in “College Football 26,” including Alabama, Auburn, Georgia, Nebraska, South Carolina, Tennessee, North Carolina, Boston College and Notre Dame. For Tennessee, a “light-up T” will shine brightly and for Alabama, Bryant-Denny Stadium will light up in red.
Oklahoma’s Sooner Schooner runout is also among one of the iconic runouts that will be included in “College Football 26.” South Carolina’s Cockaboose will be in the game, too.
“College Football 26” will be available for purchase on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S on July 10. The game can also be preordered now through the EA Sports MVP bundle, which includes the deluxe versions of “College Football 26” and “Madden 26,” granting three-day early access to both games.

Procházka zaznamenal další úspěch a může jednat s UFC
„Mise splněna. Nyní můžeme začít jednat o dalším kroku,“ pochlubil se Procházka na sociálních sítích, kde přiložil i několik snímků po úterních závěrečných zkouškách. Z 32letého populárního bojovníka se tak stal magistr, na což poctivě dřel nejenom v posledních měsících studia. Obhájil také diplomovou práci na téma Efekt hypoxické přípravy u elitního zápasníka MMA.Podstatná zpráva je to i z toho pohledu, že tým kolem českého vousáče může konečně naplno zahájit jednání o dalším souboji za oceánem. „Jiří už může uvolnit hlavu od studia a my tak můžeme začít s nějakou koncepcí,“ povídá pro Sport.cz Jaroslav Hovězák, Procházkův trenér. „Nyní je to primárně o zahájení tréninku. Jdeme makat. Rovněž se bude v nejbližších dnech jednat s UFC. Uvidíme, co nám nabídnou. Vyjednávat budou manažeři Tim Simpson a Martin Karaivanov.“Zmíněný Karaivanov během víkendu na sociálních sítích dokonce informoval, že debaty s předními představiteli UFC jsou v plném proudu. „Už o něčem jednáme, ale víc budeme vědět po závěrečných […]

Wolff sends warning to Hamilton doubters
Toto Wolff believes it is unwise for anyone to write off Lewis Hamilton amid his former driver's difficult first half-season at Ferrari.Amid Ferrari's own disappointing 2025 season, Hamilton has yet to record a podium finish in his first 10 grands prix for his new team since leaving Wolff's Mercedes at the end of last season. Team-mate Charles Leclerc has recorded three top-three finishes so far and leads Hamilton - whose best results have come in the two Sprints - by 25 points in the standings. But Wolff, whose team rewrote the record books with seven-time world champion Hamilton across 12 seasons at Mercedes, thinks a period of adaptation for the British driver in his new surroundings is only natural."You don't unlearn driving that quickly," said the Mercedes team principal in an interview with the Bloomberg Hot Pursuit podcast."In 2021 he […]
Vettel jedná o návratu do Red Bullu
V monopostu Red Bull strávil Vettel celkem pět let a zažil v něm čtyři mistrovské tituly. U všech byl také poradce stáje pro motorsport Helmut Marko (82). Ten se nedávno nechal slyšet, že právě Němec by byl jeho ideálním nástupcem. Převzal by po něm nejen agendu poradce, ale také by měl na starosti juniorský program stáje.Sedmatřicetiletý Vettel nyní přiznal, že s Markem o svém návratu skutečně jedná.„S Helmutem vycházím dobře a bavili jsme se o tom. Jednání zatím nejsou intenzivní, ale může se z toho vyvinout něco, kde bych hrál roli. Ale zda to tak bude, se teprve ukáže,“ přiznal pro rakouskou stanici ORF.Se závodní kariérou skončil Vettel v roce 2022, ale v paddocku se občas mihne. Naposledy před dvěma měsíci v Saúdské Arábii. A právě krátce po ní Marko vyřkl slova o tom, že v něm vidí svou náhradu do budoucna. Sám Vettel nicméně přiznal, že v posledních letech neměl k F1 až tak blízko.„Ale Marko […]
NFL collusion ruling: Arbitrator reportedly finds NFL, Roger Goodell encouraged teams to reduce guarantees for veterans
The NFL — and commissioner Roger Goodell — reportedly encouraged all 32 teams to reduce contract guarantees for veteran players at the March 2022 owners meeting, according to Pablo Torre and Mike Florio.That explosive claim was made by an arbitrator who oversaw a collusion grievance between the NFL and NFLPA. The ruling, which was not released by the NFL or NFLPA, was unearthed by Torre, who spoke about the grievance on his podcast Tuesday.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementIn that ruling, the arbitrator, Christopher Droney, wrote the following:“There is little question that the NFL Management Council, with the blessing of the Commissioner, encouraged the 32 NFL Clubs to reduce guarantees in veterans’ contracts at the March 2022 annual owners’ meeting.”That suggests both the NFL and Goodell wanted teams to collude to reduce guaranteed money when handing out contracts to veteran players.Despite that evidence, the NFL […]
Last Night in Baseball: Ronald Acuna Jr., MVP-Caliber Player, is Truly Back
<!--> There is always baseball happening — almost too much baseball for one person to handle themselves.That's why we're here to help, though, by sifting through the previous days' games, and figuring out what you missed, but shouldn't have.
