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

American Maul Ball

My 2 cents worth, and that, I am sure, will be the value placed on this, is that I hear the talk from July until January every year. Alabama, Ole Miss, Auburn, Arkansas, Mississippi State, etc., etc., etc. ad nauseum. The emphasis placed on these kids, many of whom will never receive a college degree unless they award one for mayhem and size/weight gain, is absurd. I would never send my kid to college simply for the sake of supporting American Maul Ball, er, excuse me, football. Frankly, real Futbal is the real deal. No need to hit each other, learn to dance (or attempt to), take money from college supporters, gain such immense weight that in later life you may suffer from all sorts of debilitating illnesses and injuries, take steroids, when what we prefer to call "soccer" has no need for any of that unless it's the dancing part. But whatever, just drop the stupid name calling and so-called "trash talking" when that merely shows the ignorance of the whole i
ssue.

IMHO

I got that, for clapping to this post? From 2007? OK.

Plus, they are both FUNN to look at. C'mon we all know I love the QBs. :wub:

I think this was meant for the BATTLE ZONE. I assume so.

I just thought that SC was playing pretty good, and had been battle tested. Ole Miss has a good team, but had not been in a tight game this year. You better strap it up when you play in the SEC this year, anyone can beat you.
