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

ROLL TIDE!!!!!! I think my heart is beating again. Whitney I love you and it was great to "watch" the end of them game with you.

We were at Red Bar at the end of the game. There were some really skeered Bama fans.

I picked Bama in the SoWal Pick 'Em. At least I did better than I did Thursday night when I picked FSU after Wake had won. :floor:

JACKETS WON!!!!! :clap:

GATORS DIDN'T LOSE!!!!! :clap:

It isn't nice to struggle against Ole Miss and delay the airing of my game until there is 2:00 left in the 1st quarter!:nono1:

Yes it would be nice at some point if the prayers of the Ole Miss fans were heard and we won one these nail bitters. I am beginning to think we will have to call this team the heart attack kids. They try so hard and come so close. :bang:

Well at least my other team won. :clap:

What is up with LSU??? It was 27-21 when we went out to the store. Now it is going to overtime. Bad time to have to try and kick a 57 yard field goal to win. Kentucky has given several teams trouble this season. C'mon LSU.

Don't blame me because Auburn's not very good Kimmi

This week is going to be the toughest I've seen so far. Plenty of upset potential on the card including the Big Blue taking down LSU!

I'm obsessed with the fact that SC lost to Stanford. And that the SECOND has a hold at 1.

Btw... Ls who is sooooo beatable.

Go Vols.... And bammy came close to losing old homecoming again. Thank the lord they pulled that out. 2000saban.

Btw. Wde.

Very interesing.... :popcorn:

Hey jdarg...does he have a pulse? :idontno:

Mizzou lost.

I am going to bed now... :wave:

Poor guy.

I'm here

I didn't get to see the game, we were on the way to see Grit and Grace in Freeport. I am driving in to Freeport listening on good old WWL...meet the Dargs at the restaurant, ask the gal in there to turn on the TV...they have a dish and DO NOT GET CBS!!! :bang:

Order a margarita and go back out to the car to listen on the radio...there is a fiesta in the parking lot being thrown by a gaggle of Hispanics complete with the world's biggest speakers booming the world's loudest Hispanic music...the WWL signal fades in and out...LSU's defense is collapsing....back in for more booze...back to car...going to overtime...a ghetto looking van with about a dozen ladders secured to the roof with duct tape pulls up next to me...much like a clown car from Tijuana, about 15 Hispanic men pour out of the van to go to the fiesta...the very last one out is wearing a, a, a freaking Kentucky shirt. Damn. I knew that was a sign from God that it was game, set and match. So we finish in the restaurant and drive to Freeport High, I sit in the car waiting for all the overtimes to conclude...poor ole Lou just couldn't get it done, and then I went into the play. FREAKIN' THANKS WACO FREAKIN' RAMBLERS FOR SINGING TWO SONGS ABOUT KENTUCKY :puke:

Well, I guess there are worse things in life than losing to KY. I was really worried about LSU having a letdown, and it happened, not to mention KY played a heckuva game. Welp, no time to dwell, gotta gut it up and be ready to beat Auburn and get back in the BCS race :wave:
