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

BR, are you all right?LOL. My husband, as a former Tulane athlete, knows how hard it is to win in Red Stick. And that was Tulane (where he went because they were after his brain, not his brawn), not The Mighty Gators.
I ain't no fool. The Gators will lose in Tiger Stadium.

BR, I'm glad your back. I was worried after last weekend,I though about you in that sea of yellow at the Tech game on tv.I guess it worked !I guess you were there.

FSU beats wawabama and ya take us off of this weeks billing. Must be an SEC thang. :bang:
If you think there is any sport in FSU vs a 1-4 NC State team whose lone victory is over Wofford, you can go ahead and pick that game. Chief Osceola will be back;-)

The Buckeyes could be playing the NE Patiots and I'd still pick'em to win.😀 Karma.

Yup, cp, we were partying big time in that sea of yeller with the North Avenue 'Nats! We had funn Saturday. That is, until "it" happened.

Hey BR...wtf is UAB? 😀 :wave:

Hey BR...wtf is UAB? 😀 :wave:Heck, I dunno anything about UAB. As of late what I know about Alabama is that it's the state west of Georgia, I've had some great times in Auburn (and bad -- our Weimaraner had to get put down at the vet clinic there :cry:), you can't get a cell phone signal in south Alabama, and that 70% of our drive to the beach is spent in that state.

University of Alabama- Birmingham. They are known for their medical school and childrens hospital not football.
Is this what you were asking?

If you get a heart problem, that is THE place to be in this part of the world.😀

Yes. I thought it was an U of AL institution, sorta kinda like UTA...University of Texas at Arlington. Thanks! :wave: I love this place...I learn so much! :clap:

We have so many friends who have chosen to have their heart surgeries there rather than Emory or Duke. That says a lot. That's a heck of a lot more important than football. And I'm not saying that they're not good at football -- I am pretty much centered on SEC, then Georgia Tech.
