Thanks to the generous volunteering of time by Beach Runner and cnestg8r and by popular demand, the picking contest is back in 2011! So far as I know the format will be the same as it has been in years past-I will look for guidelines to be announced by the aformentioned Gator fans soon. Hard to believe this will be year five! Wow! As a reminder, please, we all know half the fun of football is razzing the opponents regarding their shortcomings and expanding team rap sheets-but please try to keep that activity in the NCAA Battlezone thread and keep the picking thread mostly about picking, although discussion regarding picks and performance does add to the picking thread, in my opinion.

With that said, get ready and keep an eye on this thread for the game to hatch! I'm hoping for another great year of SOWAL football funn! GEAUX (insert your team name here)!:cool:



1. The games for each week's SoWal Pick'em will be posted on or before Monday evenings
2. The deadline for making your pick for any game is 9 AM Central Time on date of that game.
3. Anyone who misses the deadline (as defined in #2 above) will forfeit all games not picked for that date.
4. Any changes after a pick is made must appear in a new post, not in an edited prior post, and by 9 AM Central Time for the date of the game for which your pick is changed. Failure to do this will result in your change being invalid.
5. Each correct pick earns one point.
6. The winner of the SoWal Pick'em will be the person who has the most points, not the highest percentage of correct picks.
7. Bonus questions may be included later in the season in case a tie-breaker is needed. The points from these questions will not be added to a picker's total points for the season.
8. Leaders for each week, for the regular season, and for the bowl games will be recognized. However, the winner of the SoWal Pick'em will be the person with the most wins for the season, including bowl games.

Happy picking!:wave:

I hear ya. Welcome to the sandwich generation. I am so overwhelmed being part of this, plus working the equivalent of two jobs (a colleage retired unexpectedly), that I have trouble keeping up with what day it is, much less when the pick'ems are due.

All I know is that it's not Friday today because if it were, I wouldn't be working on lesson plans for the next day and I could focus on the LSU game.

Miss Kitty, I will be again. You've had yours posted before time these first two weeks. I was hoping maybe Mississippi State might have a prayer of beating LSU for once. Apparently not. I took a chance with them and it failed. Congrats to everyone else who went with LSU. That pick seals things for LSU.

I thought they said MS. State was 1-19 against LSU, was thinking now they are 1-20, not sure though. Not good though.

Hubby is traveling a lot now. One of my colleagues unexpectedly took an early retirement this spring, so I am covering my classes and his classes. So we are very busy. We don't have time to "check the class attendance roll" (as we would do each week in the past).

Lady D, will you check to see who hasn't posted each week? I know that we are all adults and should take responsibility for getting our posts in on time, but posting pick'ems is not the first priority in our lives. That being said, we must have rules and deadlines to make this friendly game fair.

Will be glad to. I have the evenings available to do so. I sent messages to some the other day that did not post last week to remind them of this week but they have not responded to that either. I think we had 3 or 4 that got 0 last week. Those are the ones I contacted. I agree with you, they know when the deadline is.
