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

I concur. Big effin EF! Lady D, what is going on with the Vols. I know we are 'spose to be bad this year, but not this bad. I am skeered to look at my picks. It's the first time I didn't have any help from Anheiser-Busch. :lol:

Maybe DD will stop sending bad juju my way when I tank this week.

I don't know Sonny. But I'd say it's lack of protection from the offensive line, plus lack of any offense and that is quite obvious. I've given up on them many games ago. This weeks picks for most is just like the bad week we all had a few weeks ago. Just about as bad but not quite. And if Texas cannot win over Texas Tech, most of us will have another miss. We all seem to do worse on weeks where there are only 14 or 15 games and do best on the 18 or 19 game weeks.

I just switched from Tn/SC to the TEX/TT game. Oh the humanity! I'm letting my six year old girl pick my next pick 'ems. :lol:

I'll bet she can do better than I did this week. I can see TX coming out after halftime and puttin' it to the red raiders. (I hope). This week's pick 'ems has been a :trainwreck:

Taco Tech is obviously the better team tonight. Their QB doesn't average 394 yards per game for nothing. They are not 8-0 for nothing. And unfortunately their has been more than two upsets today. Today's games are reminescent of the games two weeks ago.

But Texas still has time if they can stop Tech on this possession. And from what I've just seen they are not stopping them.

Puck Texas

Unbelievable. All that effort to get back in the game and get ahead and what does Texas do, let Harrell complete 6 straight passes in 1.29 and score the winning touchdown.

What losers! I saw absolutely no defense at all by Texas to to try and stop them. They just left the receivers wide open on every pass completion. This is our second worst week in 3 weeks as to upsets and picking. :shock:
