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

Sabanation is on schedule, LSU dropped one to UAB his first year there. Ouch.

Sorry, but what happened in Tuscaloosa today is disgraceful. We don't lose to directional teams at home in November.

Alabama will simply have to recruit itself out of this mess. And it's going to take some time. Probably more time than our crazy-ass fans realize.

I'll congratulate the AU fans right now. Hopefully, UA can stay within six touchdowns next weekend.

georgia isn't looking so hot this first quarter.:idontno: Go wildcats.

When are you guys gonna learn? The only hot thing which matters is the score at the end of the game. Go Dawgs! Snap!

JB, I did not listen to the game today, I will catch the re-run tomorrow. Can you please give me a re-cap of the game? Where did we go wrong?

p.s. I am not one of those crazy-ass fans, I knew it was going to take some time to re-group! :wave:

:wave:Are you going to head up the NCAA Basketball Pick 'em Debubs?
A SOWAL NCAA pick'em for basketball would be a:trainwreck:. I mean, there are *so* many college basketball games in a season, as compared to college football. I'd have to quit my job just to keep up with it.:funn:

On the other hand, I think I'm gonna lay low on bball this season. The Gators tanked in football this fall, and I have a feeling basketball will be worse. I mean, all of the starters either went pro early or graduated! :bang: There are only two names on the roster that I recognize, Hodge and Werner. :bang:

OH, AND CONGRATS, OL!

It was so off-the-chart bad, I can't adequately describe it. Four turnovers, horrific tackling, lack of any modicum of intensity, players who basically didn't care.

Next weekend is going to be ugly.

Why do you think that is? I am just trying to understand what has happened. Did the missing player's make that much of a difference? I wish we could just skip next Saturday and start over next year.

That would be tough. Just put it this way, the college basketball games are played more than just on Thursday and Saturdays. And I could not come up with the funny things to say about each person like Skunky can. That would be impossible for me to do.

Believe me...that was alll Kimmi's idea. I don't know football :biggrin: and I certainly don't know basketball! My guess is there are way too many games. :wave:

You know football Miss Kitty. That is why you are at the top. I cannot believe Clemson lost for the 3rd time straight to Boston College, and all in overtime. :bang: I could have finished 10 of 11, now it is going to be 9 of 11, which isn't bad, but poor Oklahoma has no chance of coming back from a deficit of 34-13 in the fourth quarter.

And Skunky, is it too late to change my choice on the Clemson game? JK. I rolled into this evening at 100% correct. I thought I'd be 11 for 11.:bang:

Beach Runner, I would have been 11 for 11 also had it not been for the Clemson and Oklahoma games. Rats. But that is better than I did last week.

I never would have thought Oklahoma would lose to Texas Tech. But the higher seeds have been dropping like flies. Look at Oregon against who was it, Arizona State Thursday night?

Arizona State has had a really good season. It'll be interesting to see where everyone ends up in the rankings after this week.

You should be feeling good, gull. As opposed to me :puke:. KY can surprise, but I think UT will win out.
