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!:biggrin:

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

Dang it!! I forgot to post. I meant to do so before heading north for a meeting. Then, I stopped by to have a glass of wine with my Mom and discuss the issues of the world. Obviously, it is 11:34 p.m. Oh, well. I made a good come back this past week. I'll just drop down and watch the show from here. Best of luck to all. I will be on my game next year!!! Too many distractions this year.
This is a friendly game. Make your posts before I get to work Friday at 6:30 CST, and we will just give you two dnp's for tonight but accept the rest.

Skunky, of course, feel free to overrule.

I picked them because I think they will beat Wyoming. Do I want them to win? No. But, this is however a pickem and I need to have a few more W's in my column this week. I am soooooooooo glad Fulmer will be gone I can't even tell you.

I am extremely glad that Fulmer is going to be gone as well. Tennessee needs some major help if they plan on getting back to even a halfway decent team. In order to do that, we need a good coach who knows how to recruit and who can motivate that poor offense who is struggling. :bang:

Thank you Utah. Since Maryland never could get things together. Usually Maryland plays better but that poor quarterback didn't have much protection at all by his offensive line tonight. :( I've gone with them before this year and they have pulled off an upset.

Hey DD :wave:, hope I do better this Saturday than I did last Saturday. I need to have a good week.

At least one of my thursday teams won. I almost changed it from Utah to TCU, glad I didn't after all. Then I really would have been :pissed:

What a kind and generous person you are, BR. However, I just saw your post. It is almost sunset Friday night. Long after you've put in your hard day at work. I'll just be content to keep up with the contest from the spectator viewpoint. Or, I'll post on time next week and be content with other good SoWallers down the ranks who've missed a post or two or ten.

I wish now I had gone with Wyoming over Tennessee. They are the only one moving the ball. And are ahead of Tennessee at Neyland Stadium 7-0 on Homecoming Day for Tennessee. What a disappointment but not a surprise. Tennessee is only going one direction, backwards.

They had a good drive going down to the Wyoming 31 only to throw an interception and let Wyoming run it back to the Tennessee 4 for a gain of 66 yds and then score on the next drive. And again, Tennessee's offensive line is not protecting Nick Stephens.

I think this news of Fulmer's stepping down has added to their woes they have already. It's making them do worse. :( If anyone picked Wyoming at this point I think they have been smart by doing so. I cannot believe Georgia and Kentucky are tied 14 all.

Well, Tennessee continues to do what they do best. Turn the ball over and only manage one touchdown. Don't know what happened this time. They had the ball deep in Wyoming territory, the 19 yd line I think. The next thing I hear is that Wyoming has the ball at the 19 and it is still 13-7. :idontno: So obviously they turned the ball over again. :bang:

I'm totally through with Tennessee. And it looks like Georgia is going to lose to Kentucky also. Double :bang:

Another word of advice to myself, do not go with Tennessee in anymore ballgames this season over opponent. You will not get anywhere going with them in this pick'em, not even at home and going against another 3-6 team.

I called her. She is so excited! :lol:

Didn't call you, IBD. I know you are disappointed. I really thought LSU might win. If the game had been at night (the civilized time for games in the state of Louisiana), things might have turned out differently. This observation is coming from my experience as a Tulane alum.

Dang WV. Battled back from 20-7 down to go ahead in OT 23-20 only to let Cincy come right back and score a TD on their possession to win. That is the 3rd upset today. :bang:

I should have called too...Yippee for Darlene!!

Dang WV. Battled back from 20-9 down to go ahead in OT 23-20 only to let Cincy come right back and score a TD on their possession to win. That is the 3rd upset today. :bang:

:bang:Dammit. I wanted to pick Cinn, but Mr. DD talked me out of it. :bang:

WV should of been able to take that game in OT. To battle back like that only to lose in overtime sucks. They obviously did not play well throughout the entire game, obviously until really late, and then they still cannot win. At least no one finished in the negative this week.

But I do not get the bonus point this week thanks to TT scoring 56 points and Ok. State having 20. :(

I'm extremely mad, I can't believe I talked myself into going with Notre Dame over Boston College. Boston College has no good QB my butt, he looked much better then that sad excuse of a QB called Jimmy Clausen. What did Notre Dame do before the game? Smoke marijuana and drink Jack Daniels? No more picking Notre Dame for me. I don't care if they are playing a nobody team. They will find a way to get beat I'm sure of it. Thats the last time I pick Notre Dame and the last time I go with the Volunteers too. :angry:

Xanax for me too. My nerves are shot after Penn State losing and Wyoming winning over UT yesterday. Then that Notre Dame game was the icing on the cake. And well, the West Virginia game too. Those Mountaineers and the Fighting Irish and the Nittany Lions cost me some W's in my column. :pissed:
