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

Hey LadyD!! I think you're a tad bit more excited than me. Haven't spoken to Kitty about football, but I'll work on her.

Lady DSoWal InsiderMemphis, Tennessee, United States6,131 postsJoined View profileMessageSoWal InsiderI am excited about football gearing up. It has been boring without some sport to watch after college hoops was over. I'm not expecting too much out of the Vols this year though with this new coach, they are starting over again. But hopefully they will be better than I thought.

We have season tickets at Georgia Tech, and unfortunately most of the best home games aren't until November.
Nervous about Brantley at UF. Thankfully Demps is there.

I'm not sad about summer being over, haven't enjoyed the heat. Fall temps and college football are what I like. 😀

Most games I think start on the 4th of September, there may be a few games on Thursday the 2nd to choose from. Don't know of many games coming up the 28th. Are there going to be any picks this week BR? Or will they be posted next week for the weekend of the 4th? Thanks.
