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

As someone who saw all three play, my opinion is this:

-Hershel was the best football player of the bunch

-Bo was the best athlete of the bunch

-DMac is the best pure running back of the bunch

If you want me to go with one who I think was the best of the three? I have to go with Bo. And this coming from an Alabama fan. Neither Hershel nor DMac could excel in two pro sports the way Bo did.


:clap: Well Said;-)

Don't hold your breath on that....

Unless that completely collapse for the remainder of the year, he won't be fired. He won't leave unless there is a prime opportunity paying very well.

Not many out there.....Perhaps Auburn when Tubby goes to A&M:floor:

Well, the first part of this has come true. Franchione fired today :rofl:.

Personally, I don't think wingnut is going anywhere, but if it serves as a bit of a distraction on Nov. 24, all the better.

Ok partner, we're sticking together. My only red flags (upset alerts) Cal - which isn't really an upset, Illinois and State?:eek:

But as Skuny said, Aubbies that pick together, win together. I'll carry us next week.

Sounds good, two Tigers tracking the Kitty!

Cal vs. USC was tough for me too, but I think Oh. St. is good and won't have a let down this week. However, I will be picking them to lose to Michigan, if Michigan keeps winning.

There's no doubt that that will be a tough game...especially in AA. But of course I already know who I'm picking.;-)
