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

Well, Tennessee is not looking so hot period. They had the extra point blocked by Vandy, missed a field goal, and to top it all off, they fumble the ball with a minute left in the second quarter allowing Vandy to go into halftime with a 17-9 lead. And this in Knoxville. Apparently, Tennessee hasn't practiced enough last week and didn't review the Vandy Kentucky game game last week enough. And Erik Ainge has gone cold with his passing. They are losing. :bang:

And Vandy gets the ball coming back out in the second half. It's when Tennessee plays like this that they deserve to lose. They have allowed Vandy two good drives in a row. I've practically lost interest in this game already. Tennessee will find a way to lose when they are in a very good position to get to play in the SEC championship. Being 13-1 against Vandy means nothing where they are concerned. Good thing I cannot watch it on tv. Ok, I'm done venting. :pissed:

Woo Hoo.

Oh my gosh, what a fourth quarter for my Vols. I was beginning to think I was going to have a coronary listening to this game, especially the second half. This is one game I don't think I can stand watching when they show the Phillip Fulmer Show on tv tomorrow and then the replay on CSS.

Congrats to Vandy for a game well played, even though we came back and pulled it out. I think Tennessee came in with the attitude of having that game won before even starting, that was their mistake for thinking that.

I don't know about that. Don't think there would be as much interest for NCAA basketball Pick'ems. And it is 2 weeks in already, that really needed to be started 2 weeks ago.
