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

Did you really call me out? Well, let me take my shot...
You must be an Alabama grad to have not understood my response. Let me Alabamize it for you with no smileys because it is trash talking isn't it. Please look up to the highlighted paragraph from my post.
1. Our teams play every year.
2. For the past five years my alma mater was on the field with yours.
3. I am not sure if you would call it playing football.
4. I took an early opportunity to blast ALA-BAMA.
Hmm, maybe this picture will help because I think most could already figure it out especially Kimmifunn, Whiteyfunn, and KDW.
You rightly point out that I didn't say specifically I root for Auburn but I thought it was more important to say that it was my alma mater because I didn't want to be lableled as a fan only by you since I knew the trash talking was underway. I did say our teams play so most would have inferred that if I was claiming them, I would be rooting for them.
Finally, you were the first to use nicknames about schools and the FSU one was "criminoles", so let me introduce you, "Pot meet Kettle."
By the way, that was a weak response about why UA 's dirty laundry was aired on ESPN, if I remember correctly the punter from North Colorado who stabbed the other punter in the leg got plenty of coverage. So, let me break it to you in all caps THEIR IS NO VAST RIGHT OR LEFT WING CONSPIRACY ABOUT ALABAMA AND YOU ARE NOT THE CENTER OF THE WORLD. Here is your ticket back to the real world and if you're going to come back with something, it better be with something stronger than "Auburn is a cow college", or "we have won more championships then you have" (since the last one was 15 years ago when I was in high school).
Trash talking is the game inside the game of college football and right now, it looks like you're down by at least two touchdowns.... Whoa Nellie!
I totally disagree with you here. EVERYBODY is out to get us! :lolabove: :lolabove:
:welcome: back football, y'all!

Do you keep up with recruiting? You might want to take a gander at how each team is doing. AU did a great job of capitalizing on UA's woes.
Oh, and you must be fairly new here, because I have NEVER made an excuse for anything.
All I can say is, I hope you enjoyed your little blip of success against us. It won't be long until you are remembering them as "the good ole days."
You know it, I know it and I'll tell you a secret....Tommy Tubberville knows it.
Take care, boog.

Nobody will give you a hard time if you just make picks without commentary regarding any institution's shortcomings:lol:

I can tell just from your post above that you NEVER made an excuse for anything. Note the bold, it looks like you are saying that Auburn has done well in recruiting because of Alabama's woes, isn't this an excuse :idontno:
Always looking forward to the future or dreaming about the past :roll: . I hate to even look at recruiting, but since you brought it up I looked on Rivals.com. Since it usually takes a couple of years for recruits to materialize, let's see how much time is remaining in the "blip" based on your measurement of success, recruiting.
In 2005, Auburn recruiting class 13, Alabama's 18
In 2006, Auburn's class 10, Alabama's 11
In 2007, Auburn's class 7, Alabama's 10
Alabama is looking good in 2008, but it's early.
I'll be glad to add a couple of more wins on to the five we've already got before then.
By the way, I find it very telling that you have to continue to resort to name calling, that's classy!

JBBeach FanaticTuscaloosa1,445 postsJoined View profileMessageBeach FanaticHmm, just heard Auburn's Brad Lester has been declared ineligible for this weekend's game, perhaps longer. Oh, and I guess you conveniently forgot King Dunlap's arrest when mentioning the UA stuff.
Keep casting those stones, BeachSiO68br549.

KimmifunnFunnkaliciousHollyhood9,699 postsJoined View profileMessageFunnkaliciousAUBURN, Ala. --Auburn running back Brad Lester kept his head down and his feet moving, much like a tailback would hit a gap in the line.
Reporters were told a few minutes later that the running backs would not be available to be interviewed during Tuesday's media day. It's just another episode fueling the doubt that Lester will play for Saturday's season opener against Kansas State.
Head coach Tommy Tuberville said he expected Lester to play. Lester sat out the Cotton Bowl game for unspecified academic reasons and it could be Thursday before a final decision is reached regarding Saturday's game. That issue is still under investigation.
"To this point, he's playing," Tuberville said. "That's all I know. We'll talk about it as we go along, but Brad's our starter."

Was that the same radio station that said Richie Rod was going to be the Bama coach, or Stevil?
Looks like you lost another starter good thing your playing the local high school this week..

By the way, you really had to scrape the BOTTOM of the barrel to get that King Dunlap story. Not paying a speeding ticket, that's a big story. Disorderly conduct is a little higher on my radar.
