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

Naaah, not cute.

Tennis players are great looking. Soccer players are generally gorgeous. Polo players are hot.

I'll go back to looking for a cute uniform.:lol:
Personally I like male swimmers' bods.:blush:

ESPN GameDay will be in Ttown this weekend for the Bama-Jawga game. Alabama is 0-4 when ESPN is on campus.

From ESPN web site:
Unfortunately for Alabama, GameDay appearances have not been all that kind. The last time the show was here was in 2005, when LSU downed then-No. 4 Alabama 16-13 in overtime.

Before that, Alabama went 0-3 in games that the GameDay crew broadcast live from campus. The show also emanated from high-profile Alabama games at Birmingham’s Legion Field.


Just a little pick'em insider tip...😀

I don't know how many of you listen to 'Southern Sports Tonight' a radio sports talk show that broadcasts out of the Florida Panhandle. The format is simple-the host fields calls from a pool of football fans and there is neverending rumination regarding Tim Tebow, Nick Saban, the Bowdens and all the other movers and shakers of southern football. The host had been predicting Florida to go 7-5 this year and furthermore predicted a Tennessee win last weekend. As the game neared, the Florida fans (sounding Alabama psycho about never losing again) became increasingly irritated and voiced their displeasure with the prediction. We all know what happened Saturday, and one of the engineers at the radio station (who was supervising the station's broadcasting of the Alabama game at about the time the Florida game was over) said the station phones began ringing with Florida fans demanding to speak on the air with the weekday host, who of course was not in the station. I think the host knew what was coming when he hit the air yesterday, so as a goodwill gesture he ordered 500 free buffalo wings for the Florida fans that would be available at the Destin Hooters, site of yesterday's remote broadcast. So I am listening to this driving home yesterday, and while he is talking, he just stops, and the engineer back at the studio asks if everything is alright...the host says yes, but you could tell he was really distracted by something. Then he laughed a bit, and said a group of Florida and Florida State fans had come to blows in the parking lot of the Destin Hooters. :floor: I wonder if this sort of thing happens at the Cambridge Hooters when Harvard and Yale fans start talking smack?;-) If you have not heard this radio theater, you should tune in from 3-7 PM on 98.1FM.

The actual Commercial Appeal article in Sundays paper after the game didn't mention anything about the fans accusing Florida of running up the score, and there were two articles, both of which I read. It was some of the players on Tennessee and the Offensive Coordinator who made a comment about it, and I believe that was in the article by Ron Higgins, not Geoff Calkins. The very last paragraph. David Cutcliffe said no coach likes seeing a team continue to run up the score on someone.

It is Florida...They got it from Spurrier. You almost have to just let them do it. It's all they know.

Sounds like sour grapes and ducking responsibility - isn't it the UT players and coaches job to stop the other team from scoring? What exactly do UT players and coaches mean by "running up the score"?

Is it against the rules to do this? :confused:
