I hear a lot of jokes about my name. None of them are funny.
My fiancee Gina plans events for World Travel Meetings and Incentives. We live in a loft in San Francisco, and can occasionally be found flying kites at various spots around the city. If you're on Xbox Live, look me up. My gamertag is Willski.

NCAA Football 2005
NCAA Football 2005 is the big time cool. I can’t put it down.
The option works just the way it should. The crowd noise makes a real impact in each and every game. Most of all, it feels like college football. Players get stupid in the last few minutes of a close game. Onside kicks work just when you least expect them to. You can bulldoze a good running back right up the middle.
I haven’t played online yet, but I did muck around in the Live interface last night for a bit. As you all know, NCAA Football is the first EA game to show up on Xbox Live. They’re hosting the games on their own servers, and you need to connect your Gamertag with an EA gaming account to really get the most of the service. It includes all the nice stuff that I dig from the latest version of Live, including email and SMS alerts.
I’m concerned because I didn’t see a way for two people to play on the same Xbox on Live against two other people. That would suck if it’s the case. It remains to be seen if the game is good enough to warrant purchasing another Xbox.
They also run the scores in current games—both real-world and games your friends are playing—on the score ticker at the bottom of the page. I’m really stoked, and plan to play online later this week.
