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

Why yes it is, MC. He's supposed to actually be moving, but who knows why he's not. He's pretty cute though. :wave:

Buffalo is winning at the end of the first half. Of the top people in the pick 'em, only cp picked Buffalo.

Right now the top three are me, DD, and cp (regular season plus bowls). Ameliaj is the best picker in the bowls (20). With bonus points if Florida wins, cp wins the Kitty Bowl -- there's no way anyone can catch her due to what we all picked. If something I can't even say happens, DD wins over me by 1 point. Hope she wins.

Do I get any brownie points for being the statistician? :lol:

Yes, you do! And thanks for explaining it in layman's terms. Damn that cp, I knew I shoulda sent her more peanut brittle. :bang:

Well, the previous summary was from Big D. He is way too smart for me to understand, plus he's an engineer (I won't go there, but some of you know what I mean). :lol:

cp, where do you get your skillz?

Yesterday, 10 players lost all three, 6 players picked one right (Kentucky), 0 had two right, and SmilingJOe had all three right.

...and I haven't watched more than 8 minutes of college football all season!

LOL. That was such a stretch -- me, a Gator fan, picking the Gators and their Heisman winner for the bonus points. :floor:

And then dropping out midseason. :floor:

I will pick up some bragging rights before the door hits me on the butt on the way out. :wave:

Go Gators, and congrats to the real winners!!!

The dust has settled on 2008 and the SoWal 2008 picking champion is.......

Beach Runner! :clap:

Not only did she do a great job keeping score, she has demonstrated that she is quite the pigskin soothsayer.

My best efforts will be made to retrieve the Kitty Cup from Amore' so as to engrave BR's name for eternity and beyond.

See everyone late summer, 2009 :wave:
