Despite a full day of work (again), my twice-a-month lunchclub at noon, and my drop at UPS, I was able to swing over to the video game store for my annual trek to acquire the new EA Sports NCAA Football 06 game for Xbox. I nearly forgot about picking it up until tonight when I found out another member of my extended family also made his way to the store to get the game on its first day of release. The bad news is that my Xbox is in the shop again for the 3rd time in about a year—yes, the folks at Xbox got an earful from me over the phone, no more than I get to play it, it shouldn’t break down like it has and I think they may replace it with a new one (knock on wood). Oh…Iowa ranks #3 in the game—which I would assume is their highest ever since the game debuted in 1996.
