2011 Xbox 360® Touchdown Tour
What's up tailgaters! My name is Josh, and as a native of Southern California, and a graduate of the University of Arizona, college football and tailgating are in my blood! Sure, I love to hike, backpack, golf, run, and surf, but all of that is taking a back seat this Fall to host what may be the greatest "job" in history - seriously... I would do this for free!
I'll be hosting the weekly Xbox 360 tailgate tour at 14 of the biggest college football venues in the country. From Alabama to Nebraska to USC and LSU, we'll be showcasing the newest game releases on Kinect for Xbox 360, new Windows Phone 7 products, letting you strike a pose with an actual Heisman trophy (our buddy, Gino Torretta, winner at Miami-'92, lent it to us) and of course, plenty of tailgating action.
I am totally psyched for the 2011 college football season, and hope to see you on the road... be sure and find me at the Xbox 360 tent at one of our destinations you'll have a chance to win a brand new Xbox 360 with Kinect, or a Windows Phone 7!

2011 Xbox 360® Touchdown Tour
Oklahoma at Oklahoma State, Stillwater, OK, 12.3.11
Well, the annual Bedlam game had a number of surprises in store for us - hanging out with 80's pop legend, Huey Lewis, torrential rain, wind, and lightning storms! The night prior to the game, we ran into Huey Lewis AND the News in the hotel bar, and they didn't believe we had the Heisman... so we pulled it out of the truck and let them take photos with it! Do you realize how many records these guys sold back in the 80's? We digress. Driving up to Stillwater from OK City on Saturday morning proved to be one of the hairiest experiences we have ever had on tour, and left us wondering how we were going to pull this off in the conditions. Pouring rain, lightning everywhere, and huge wind gusts. We stood under a tent and stared at eachother for about an hour, thinking how we were going to demo Xbox with Kinect, hook up a bunch of Windows Phones and make it through the day without electrocuting ourselves! Well, wouldn't you know, the football gods were on our side... the skies parted (bucking weather forecasts), we set up, and wound up hosting a killer tailgate. If you aren't familiar with OU and OK State, they reeeeeally don't like eachother, and OK State has been the stepchild for years in that state. Well, this year, they took it to OU, crushing them 44-10 and making a solid case for a spot in the National Championship! We're off for a couple weeks, then we wrap up the season in San Francisco for the Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl on New Years Eve - see you there!
