SOWAL NCAA pick'em

[30A Skunkape]

I would like to organize a friendly little football contest as I know there is at least a modest amount of interest regarding this topic. All you have to do is pick the winners of the week's upcoming games that I post. Each correct pick earns one point;there is no penalty for incorrect guesses. I will keep a tally of everyone's points as the season progresses. Picks must be posted on the board BEFORE KICKOFF (duh), or they will not count. The SOWALer with the most points at the end of the year wins a, hmmm, not sure about that, but isn't glory reward enough?! Now get picking!

WEEK 1 NCAA Football-Deadline to submit picks is 5PM central Thursday August 30

LSU at Mississippi State

Georgia Tech at Notre Dame

Tennessee at California

Kansas State at Auburn

Florida State at Clemson

Copy and past the schedule in your response and highlight your winner!

BTW, that pic is hilarious!

And even though Tennessee's game is not one of the ones we are making our picks on, Go Big Orange!

They will win today!

[Kimmifunn]

Um...did anyone hear the reference to Phead's fraternity on Gameday. They said it's a big day in Auburn when the Velcro Pygmies were at the Figi house on Friday and the Supper Club on Saturday.

WDE, even though "nobody's counting"

Maybe they will and maybe they won't ...Go Eagles!!!!!!!!!!!!!!We like the underdog thing.

[cp]

WOW!!Go Ducks!!(even though I didn't pick you)

[Ocean Lover]

WOW!!Go Ducks!!(even though I didn't pick you)

Same!

Whitey....

CP, Neyland Stadium is one tough place to play, a sea of nearly 107,000 orange screaming fans. However, it is pay per view only and I cannot see spending $30 to watch that game. I would if it were a game that was going to be an actual challenge. Sure we played Southern Miss back in 2000 and barely beat them but that was not in Knoxville. Will have to settle for listening on the radio. We have cable on both of our tv's but I can only get the pay per view off of the one tv in the living room with the DVR and my husband will be sitting in here watching things tonight after he gets home from work so that is out of the question. I don't know the reasoning for carrying some of the games like that on pay per view only. And in the Sowal NCAA pick'em I was thinking long and hard about the Oregon and Michigan game. I kept thinking I should pick Oregon as I have watched alot of their games and know how well they can play. But I went with Michigan and they are being picked apart by Oregon. I knew I should have gone the other way.

Ladyde,we might get our fannies spanked, up in UT land, we sorta make a living doing that about once a season. However, sometimes we spank the big guys in the SEC. Maybe ya'll could come down to H'burg next year,in out newly renovated (complete with sky boxes) stadium.

Tebow just scored again.

[Beach Runner]

Tebow just scored again.

Oh, you mean with his boobalicious GF?

Or because he is Superman? I actually got tired of hearing that from the game broadcasters.

At a Vols practice, the coaches kept referring to Tim Tebow as "Superman". Suddenly, the coaches started playing the Superman theme music. Then, reserve quarterback B.J. Coleman stepped onto the field to run the practice squad in a Superman cape.

http://www.govolsxtra.com/news/2007/...ts-playmakers/

Tim Tebow has never started an SEC game. Sure, he racked up numbers vs. the likes of W. Kentucky and Troy, but he has never seen speed (every down) like he will vs. UT. Contrary to popular thought, he is not Superman, but merely a sophomore QB starting his first SEC game. He will get rattled more than once and it will show. You can expect him to falter a bit like any new QB.

I heard the Vols/Tebow/Superman/cape story on CBS Saturday. Interesting coaching strategy that didn't give them a W.

[30A Skunkape]

He is a sophomore...what goes up must come down. He will crash to Earth at some point this year. But his junior and senior campaigns will probably be really impressive since he isn't a 'leave early for the NFL' type.

Looks like gators didn't do anything wrong it looks like vols gave up.

[Miss Kitty]

Don't blame me because Auburn's not very good Kimmi

This week is going to be the toughest I've seen so far. Plenty of upset potential on the card including the Big Blue taking down LSU!

I'm obsessed with the fact that SC lost to Stanford. And that the SECOND has a hold at 1.


Btw... Ls who is sooooo beatable.


Go Vols.... And bammy came close to losing old homecoming again. Thank the lord they pulled that out. 2000saban.
