College football is all about tradition. The tradition of the NCAA Football 12 development team is the godawful annoying āAlpha song,ā played every night while the game is in its alpha build. This yearās song was Wham!ās āCareless Whisper,ā the signature tune of the Sexy Sax Man.
You may have heard of him. (This video, uploaded in March, has more than 6 million views.) Sexy Sax Man is quite the guerrilla artist, barging in bare-chested on food courts, laundromats, Walmarts and college classrooms to belt out āCareless Whisper,ā the oversaxed 1984 hit by Andrew Ridgeley and that other guy.
According to Alex Howell, NCAAās Road to Glory designer, Roy Harvey (the gameās executive producer) paid his own money to get Sexy Sax Man to Maitland, Fla. to sax-bomb the teamās final meeting, seen here. Thatās Howell, posing for the picture at the stage. You can make out NCAAās Ben Haumiller (red shirt, right of the aisle) as well as E.J. Samuel, Eric Sherwood, Bradley Schmidt and Tom Kenney.
