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

:blink: I'm still a little shaky today. Saban made some great calls in that game.

That McFadden kid is a freak of nature. We had him contained pretty well first half but he turned on the jets second half.

JPW :wub: I think he had a great game. Along with DJ! Hall! DJ! Hall!

What can I say about Aubs...Sly got you!:funn:

I can't believe I'm in the lead! :clap: I'm kinda nervous now...:shock:

As an objective viewer, I thought it was a perfect storm of events that let Alabama win. If Saban had more defensive talent he never would have allowed a one dimensional team come back from 21 points down. Then Mcfadden got hurt, Nutt made a horrendous decision to pass the ball on 3rd down with less than 2:30 and Bama holding 1 timeout...if Dick would have knelt the ball on 3rd down there is no way Alabama has enough time to score a touchdown...then the pass interference call in the endzone, the right call at the perfect time. But Alabama got it done, and that is all that counts. Here comes Georgia:blink:

We have zero depth along our DL and it showed bigtime in the second half. But Bama showed some tremendous heart and character down the stretch, sucked it up and got it done.

Yes. I think they look better conditioned than last year, if nothing else.

Congrats to the Gators for a game well played from a team that looked like another national contender. As to Auburn and Miss. State, well, welcome to the SEC, it can happen to anyone.

Arkansas and Alabama, 30A Skunkape summed it up perfectly it could have gone either way, congrats to Bama for coming out at the end with the winning score.

As to the Vols being an embarrassment, well I look at my teams as I do my child. Some days they do good and some days they don't, but I am never embarrassed by their performance, as I figure that was the best they could do on that day as long as they play by the rules.

Oh, you mean with his boobalicious GF?

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

I happen to like Monet and I also like change.

My avatar represents my interests and nothing more. I am graduate of UT but I am not a manic fan. Tomorrow I might want to put up a photo of a Lab but that would not mean I am not longer a fan of Monet, simply that I had a change of mood. Today I feel like being a Rebel.

And next week when Florida cleans Ole Miss's clock I won't be embarrassed about that either, as I figure the better team will win. But regardless I will still love my Rebels and my Vols and I might change my Avatar to penquins as I really like them.

Maybe this particular forum/sports is not for me and I will leave the sports to those that take it much more seriously than and I will just mosy on over to the Lounge and have a drink. 🙂

But I will say this unless someone has played competitive sports, or coached competitive sports it is easy to be a side line coach and Yes I have done both.

Aliens have captured my football team:yikes: I hope they are doing an anal probe on Tommy RIGHT NOW! :rofl:

Ok, now bama, it was hard for me to figure that your team and mine were one and the same, based on your name - however, I am tired of having a heart attack each and every week - therefore, I just choose NOT TO WATCH ANYMORE!!!!!

Done, done, done!!!
