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

That's slightly different as in someone paid for it, and I am guessing that was Gus! I was asking about someone who got books they weren't supposed to for free and then selling them.

Technically. Here's how I see it:

In both cases the books were bought by Party 1 (Gus or said institution) while Party 2 (Kimmi or talented athlete) reaped in the benefits (beer money or beer money). It's the same but different. :wave:

This did not factor in my equation. How does one end up with books not in one's major? That isn't the athletes fault. Until they sell it, of course.

It's my understanding the players did not re-sell the books. Some seem to be automatically assuming they did, but to my knowledge, there is no evidence to support that. Sounds more like wishful thinking from rival fans who need to concern themselves with their own program if you ask me.

But let's look at the bigger picture. College kids do stupid stuff. God knows I did. What they did was stupid. I am particularly disappointed in Caldwell who is a straight-A student and graduated in three years.

But let's not be judge and jury until we have the facts.

It's making the man work for you.

Since I can't find anyone to support me, my maker will support in some way, shape or form until I am swept off my feet with a black card.

Exhibit B.

Set your bills (utilities) up to a said person's credit card, and get the check from your roommate. Until caught.

Um, when I was at Auburn, I bought a text book a time or two, put it on my Tigercard and returned for cash. Only once or twice though. I wasn't on scholarship though. Just the Gus scholarship.
Uh, I paid for my extravagant college lifestyle that way. Mom got me a Tulane Book Store account because I did need books, and she thought that's all they sold. I'd charge stuff that my friends wanted, and they'd pay me back in cash.:blush: Sorry, Mom.
