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

I know, I really wish he could win a few more games. But he must have known what a mess he was getting into going to Starkvegas on the heels of dirty Jackie. I know it does not get one off the proverbial hotseat, but at least you don't hear about MSU kids being arrested...if nothing else he ran off all the thugs.

I agree since he seems like a very good person, even if he went to that other school ;-) . It was hard to watch since the defense was doing everything they could and the interceptions killed them. Not much you can do with a True freshman playing backup. It will be interesting to see how many games that defense can keep them in.
