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

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

I know I should. I got so nervous listening to that Tennessee game I ended up turning the radio off and walking away several times. I do that when it is a game like that today. Tennessee got lucky, very lucky. And they are good at the two minute offense.

But if Tennessee does as poorly as they started out today they will lose to Kentucky. And this game is at Lexington, so I don't hold out much hope for next Saturday where the Vols are concerned.

But I will go with them anyway of course. And they may play the opposite of the way they played today. I would like for them to. Just will have to wait and see. Florida still has played some great football this season, especially against Tennessee. :blush:

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?

The refs just stole a touchdown from Oklahoma. It could have been a great last five minutes, now it will just be ... so so.

SJ, how come you haven't gotten in on picking on these games week from week? At least Oklahoma got back within 7. But too little too late unfortunately.

Yeap, a sad day for State and Ole MIss (I was pulling for LSU) USM managed a win somewhere in Texas!?
JBO is in Orlando this week, so I'm sure he'll call me and I'll have to post his picks. As for me, I might as well shot the moon, I'll never catch those hogs,the Kitty,skunks,etc at the top....................and how many games are this weeek??? :wave:

Kansas is undefeated. That is going to be a tough game. Hawaii is undefeated as well, at 10-0.

Go Vols!

The lesser of two evils. I'd rather not be surrounded by a bunch of gloating Georgia fans. Not many Vols fans here.

Thanks Beach Runner, there are not many Vol fans on this board for sure, that live in Florida anyway. I'm hoping Tennessee can practice hard this week and get it together for the game against Kentucky.

They somehow manage to win.

Except against Florida, and this year Bama. :blush:

Lady D,

i know Fulmer and Co are home licking their wounds. Can you imagine almost getting knocked off by Vandy? :rofl: Almost as bad as the time U of M kicked them in the booty.

If Fulmer and Co expect to be around much longer, they need to change their tactics.

I'm just sorry that LSU has to play GA 'dogs instead of them tired ole' Thounds in the SEC.

PS, You might want to see if Skunky will let you copy some of his stuff for your tar so you can get rid of that mangy old dog you got there. :floor:
