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!:biggrin:

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

JoePa

(I don't know why, but I extremely dislike Joe P., always have)

There are a lot of Nittany Lion fans who don't like Coach JoePa, because they feel that football has passed him by and he should have stepped down years ago. That said, I don't think many of the Happy Valley family dislike JoePa the man. His philanthropy to PSU is legend. He's given over $4 million to the University and has been leader to raise $1 billion for the library. Here at LSU were still waiting for the Sabanator addition to our library, but I guess we should just put that one to rest.;-)

Thank you Boston College. :clap: What a finish. 14 points in the last 2:11 of the game. A great game. Beginning to think that was it for BC.

Did you have some inside scoop?

Does it matter ;-)

Actually it was based off of an interview I heard earlier in the day with Frank Beamer.

Tyrod Taylor Freshman star QB for VA tech was hurt with a high ankle sprain and wouldn't play due to the rain. Glenn, the backup, has not played much in a while and it was not optimum conditions. Brandon Ore hasn't been running well and they would need him in the rain. BC plays in an outdoor stadium and Matt Ryan should be able to play well in the bad weather if they could block for him. Defenses are almost equal and a starting LB for Va Tech was not playing either. All this added up to a BC switch.

VT evidently took a lesson from my team. I was stomping around the house :cuss: and throwing things at the end of the game.

But, then I remembered my SoWal pick 'em. :biggrin:

VT has lost only THREE games on ESPN Thursday night, it just happens to be all three are to BC. NOW WHERE WAS that little tidbit when I was making picks. Oh well so much for my master plan of LSU coming in to T Town #1, but hey, they maybe #2 :D Go get em Jo PA!

You see, I'm on PST, and since we vote together, I think mine should be changed too.

We're like Caddilac and Ronnie, right? A team.:clap:

I want to change from Cal to Arizona State. I think. Normally I do not pay attention to the west coast, but I think I thought I heard that AZ was doing well, when I was napping during SportsCenter.

Girl, I got your back but you might want to rethink the joint team issue, I bombed last week and you did well. Maybe we should try to convince Skunky that if either of us get it right then it counts for both of us. Sounds fair :idontno:

looks like we could have more than one big upset.....I actually ran into someone from Mississippi State at the market today. I overheard him tell his wife that the game was over and Kentucky won. I asked him to repeat that..:lol:..and he said...oh, your a Kentucky fan eh? I said no, I just picked them in a football pool thingy. He told me he was a Miss grad and I congratulated him on the game. Again...sowal.com, bringing peeps together. :biggrin:

Unbelievable game. Mississippi State came out ready to play. So did the other Bulldogs, as in Georgia. Would someone explain to me the deal with calling all these double penalties on one play now??? This is the third time I've seen this happen, 30 penalty yards on one play??? Ridiculous.

Whew. What a game and finish. This had me very nervous. Have to give SC credit for a great comeback in the second half. And have to give the Vols credit for a comeback to tie it up and then a field goal in overtime to win. I am one happy and relieved person right now. :clap::clap::clap:

Is everyone still asleep on here??? It's 8:21! :idontno:
