 Unlike other sites, ncaaStrategies will not be holding year end polls or voting for their end of the year gaming awards - but we do want to know your personal winners and losers.
In this thread, feel free to name the winner(s) of any category you deem fit. Game of the Year (overall), Sports Game of the Year, Best New Feature, Biggest Disappointment, Most Under-rated Game....even make up your own award, such as Best Sound Effects in a Game. Feel free to name one winner or several winners for your categories.
We want to know what games (and aspects of games) you enjoyed most in 2008. Share your answers with the Utopia community in this thread.

- The NCAA Basketball 09 Toughest Places to Play poll has been extended through next year. Go here to vote for the top ten places to play (of a list of 50 schools/venues). EA Sports will then visit these 10 campuses later this basketball season and judge them based upon a number of factors. They will then determine their final top 10 and they will appear in NCAA Basketball 2010.
- The Gillette Champions of Gaming Tournament is going strong, but there's only two weeks left to qualify for the KO Rounds in January. Sign up and start playing today!
- In the latest NCAA Football Podcast at EA Sports World, it was stated that after the recruiting season ends (early February) they may begin sharing some of the features of NCAA Football 2010 in future NCAA Football podcasts.

 As you may or may not know, whiteyc_77 (or "whitey") lost one of his twin infant sons, Connor, a few weeks ago after a courageous battle for his young life. Obviously, nothing but time can heal the loss of a loved one, especially one's own child. (See this thread.) That said, some Utopians wanted to do something nice for whitey and his wife to help assuage their grief. In short, pavel came up with the idea of sending whitey and his wife to the Rose Bowl Game in Pasadena, CA to cheer on the Nittany Lions this New year's Day.
At this point, we have over $2,200 pledged towards this goal and the potential for donated or discounted tickets to help us get him there. We expect that the costs could be $2500-$3000 or so depending on a number of factors (including airfare, accommodations, etc). That's where you come in. If you would like to contribute to this effort, please reply in this thread or send me a PM to let us know. Please feel no obligation to give if you cannot afford to. This is a crappy economy and we don't want anyone to feel pressure from us for a totally voluntary philanthropic endeavor.
Obviously, we'll need to move quickly on this and would appreciate hearing back from anyone who is able to help this week. We are going to have a Paypal account established within the next couple days to begin accepting payments. As mentioned above, some have already pledged their support and I want to say thank you again. For everyone else, I hope you will consider participating in this very special gift for whitey and his family.
***
Many of you already know about the Project White Roses. If you can help Whitey and his family this holiday season we can certainly use any and all help.
Contact any of the moderators and we will add you to the discussion forum for more details.

In NCAA Football 09, there has been a general consensus within the online community that it can be difficult to get pressure on the quarterback.
