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!
For example, here are my picks:
LSU at Mississippi State
Georgia Tech at Notre Dame
Tennessee at California
Kansas State at Auburn
Florida State at Clemson

KimmifunnFunnkaliciousHollyhood9,699 postsJoined View profileMessageFunnkaliciousI'll have to think about it. Vandy plays Ole Miss at home which might be a better match up than Auburn-Miss. St.
That doesn't mean I'm not going to come. What day do you get in? What time is your game?
I get in Thursday night and then our game is 11:30AM on Sat.

You know, Mississippi State upsets have resulted in the firings of both Ron Zook and Mike Shula. Any chance they could get Tubby on the hotseat this Saturday?:idontno:

Not sure about Tubby, but the Aubs are about ready to lynch both Al Borges and Brandon Cox. Cox? All the kid has done for the program is go something like 30-5 as a starter. Now they want to run him out of town.
Oh, and my picks:
Mississippi State at Auburn
Tennessee at Florida
Ohio State at Washington
Arkansas at Alabama
Louisville at Kentucky
Southern California at Nebraska
Florida State at Colorado
Boston College at Georgia Tech
Ole Miss at Vanderbilt

I'll hop the fence and chase him with one of my wedges. That'll teach him.
I think we'll pull it out though.;-)

Just to justify my pick...or convice myself it's a good risk to take. :scratch: From FoxSports:
Start clearing next week's schedule for ... Louisville at Kentucky. With all due respect to Tennessee at Florida and USC at Nebraska, a terrific pair of match ups, the Cards and the 'Cats are capable of delivering an epic offensive slugfest in Lexington. In a rivalry game that features more thoroughbreds than Churchill Downs and two of the nation's premier quarterbacks, Brian Brohm and Andre Woodson, 50 points may not be enough to earn bragging rights in the Commonwealth this year.

Thanks Miss Kitty. To me it sounded like some little country town out in the middle of nowhere. Had no clue it was Baton Rouge which isn't in the middle of nowhere. I just knew I hadn't seen any posts by drsvelte on here before. 😀
