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'm surprised no one has mentioned our little bit of trouble.

It isn't that they are always in trouble, rather that there is a 24/7/365 NCAA conspiracy against them.:roll:

One of my nephews will be a freshman there in the fall. I have given him a hard time about going to Bama. I signed both his graduation card and gift check with "Go Gators!" ;-)

Would that mean I'd have to give my million dollar prize to you? :lol:

Is there going to be a pick'em this year? I hope so, and I hope there will be games next weekend for me to pick before we go to the beach. Anyone know if Skunky has mentioned this??? Thanks.

It is that time of year again where we get really excited about the exploits of adolescents representing our favorite (and most despised) institutions of higher learning!

Yep, the pick'em is back! This will be season III, and as far as I know this is the most posted upon thread on this site (but there may be something in the lounge which is less seasonal that is bigger-but not for long because it is time to add about 1000 more posts :clap:

To recap-Miss Kitty won our inaugural contest. Beachrunner was victorious in season II. Can one of these two repeat, or will we crown a new champ this year?

We will have a big change this year. I am turning the contest over to Beachrunner and the world's biggest man behind the curtain, Big D. They really did all the work last year anyway. So, thanks to all for participating in the past, but it is now in the hands of the aforementioned.

OK, lets geaux!;-) :wave:

Yep, 'random thoughts' is up by a couple hundred. We'll be smoking that lame thread by mid September :rolling:

Thanks Skunky for the past two years of selecting the games, we will miss you handling that but you still are going to participate in picking the winners each week I'm sure! ;-) Are there enough games to do a pick'em for this next weekend??? I hope so.

Kudos to Skunky for starting this, and to BR and Big D for keeping it going. Y'all have fun, as I'm only going to be a spectator this year. :cool:

Aggie you playing??? I will have to find a backup person to place my picks for me for the games on the 5th of September if my son cannot do it. With his long work hours, I do not know if he will remember, or have time.

I just would like everyone to play that played last year. It makes things more competitive to have many playing. I've been waiting on this since hoops ended.
