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

INTERCEPTED AGAIN!

The SEC is just too damned good. We beat each other up. If we weren't having to beat each other up, we'd rule the college football world! YESSSSS!

The two divisions is a bad idea IMO. If we had one division, we could focus on NCAA wins, instead of guaranteeing that we'd have to have losses within our own conference due to beating each other up.

It's the price you pay to be in the best conference ever. Bama-LSU is a great game so far, but for me it's not over until 0:00. Go go go.

Honey, it's just the first quarter. :wave:

I'll bet that my BIL, a Mizzou alum, isn't even watching. They're probably at The Sports Club or Dallas National having cocktails. Actually *he* might be doing that. Sis is running the NY Marathon in the AM.

Bama gave them a run for their $$$. Dang.

Ditto. Double dang. Bama got the shaft on the "review" at 9:23 left in the fourth. IMO that was a complete pass. But the call changed the "mo."

btw- I love you OL! We should've won the game, but good game LSwho. That's what college football is all about. It was intense game for me to say the least. Still, Mr. Seagrover, and I are proud to say Roll Tide! :wave:

I was around a lot of family today and they wondered why in the heck I was rooting for Bama or even paying attention to college football ( other than the buckeyes) for that matter. :blink:

I told'em I had peeps in Alabama. :wub:

( they just think I'm weird anyway...it's Mr Ol's fam

What the heck has happened to Boston College??? :bang:

Not to mention the other day I asked this one guy who he would go with between Cincinnati and USF and South Carolina at Arkansas and of course he picked Cincinnati and Arkansas. Should have listened to him on the Cincinnati especially, didn't think they would beat USF though, but I knew nothing about their football team. :idontno:

But that puts LSU in second place in the BCS I hope as they beat Bama today. :clap:

No doubt, DMAC is one great back. I think he will be a top five pick, but as Kimmi said, Only one BO.

Great win for ARK. Now, does that mean that ARK keeps Nutt :blink:

You are so cute, OL. No wonder everyone :wub:

you.

How about Mizzou, Kitty? And you were worried.

Congrats, Skunky.

Oh, and DMAC was awesome! Like a fast train going down the field!

And the Noles beat BC? :yikes:

I was just 6 for 10 in the Pick 'Em. :bang:

Yes we did OL. It was a great game. I came into this game knowing we wouldn't win, but man they tried their hardest!! Thank you for pulling for us. :wub:

Ditto. Double dang. Bama got the shaft on the "review" at 9:23 left in the fourth. IMO that was a complete pass. But the call changed the "mo."

It was a complete pass and I believe we would have won had they not reversed the call. Oh, well such is life still an awesome football game for us Tide Fans!!!

That's what I don't understand about the office manager at my work. She says Arkansas doesn't have a coach nor do they have a quarterback. And she is from Arkansas. I thought the quarterback did a good job last night :idontno:

You folks from Alleybammer crack me up....Bo was tremendous....but couldn't hold Herschel's jock strap.

Regarding DMAC....time will tell. What I do know is this:

Bo had a total of 4,303yds in 38 games
DMAC currently has a total of 4,076 in 34 games to date. He won't catch Herschel, but should pass Bo and Faulk....

Time will tell......Go Hogs, Go SEC....

I was just 6 for 10 in the Pick 'Em.

Beach Runner, I went over my picks with this guy last week before I posted them on here. I told him who I had picked and he told me to go with Cincinnati over USF and go with Arkansas over S.C. Should have listened to him. I stuck with USF and SC and ended up 7 for 10.

Would have gotten 9 out of 10 if I had selected Cincinnati and Arkansas like he suggested. :bang:

And Boston College losing at home to Florida State. That is not something that many on here thought would happen. There were a few that went with Florida State.

And y'all will notice that this was the first week, in trying to win points in this dadgum pick-em, that I did not vote for my beloved, troubled, prone-to-choke Seminoles. :bang:

But I'll take not picking up that point anyday.

Happy #78, Bobby Bowden :wub:
