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

Not me I picked Cats and the Dogs.

Kentucky is pulling some surprises this year bamabeachbum, I had thought about that one a good deal before picking but thought, no, Arkansas will win this one. Not! But I know I did better this time than last week.

Miss Kitty, you've been doing good. Why would you be at the bottom??? I have been the one creeping up from the bottom, and barely at that. :lol:

We don't need any Florida Gators rooting for us. :funn:

A gator fan would never. Especially because UGA is in the same division and a Bama win would have helped UF.

I tell you one thing, I'd never be for FSU winning unless it helped UF in the polls. And even then I wouldn't be "for" them.;-)

:roll: We were with BR on this one. Sorry KDW & Whitey, I have nothing against Bama the institution, but I wanted to see Saban's smirkedy smirk wiped off his face. Go Dawgs (just this once).

Now, now bammers, do what you need to do to make yourselves feel better. Tell us how bad we are, whatever it takes.

Perhaps your little qb get a haircut so she can see when she throws the ball?

That was a good game though.

How bout LS who?

Its still 2000 Saban.

I have a new rule for myself. Well, it's really Saban's rule but it's good. I will have 24 hours to talk about a win/loss and after that it's never to mentioned again.

Dear ESPN Game Day,

Please don't ever come to Tuscaloosa again. It's just not funny anymore. In fact, you aren't wanted and will be boo'ed out of town.

Delightfully yours,
Whitey

Hate to say it, but I saw this coming. I knew, without question, that UA's talent level is nowhere near the upper-echelon teams in the SEC. Last night, it was painfully obvious. I predicted 8-4 for this team in July. I might increase that to 9-3. LSU is a certain loss. FSU, UT, AU (and to a lesser extent, MSU and Ole Miss) could go either way.

What you CAN count on is this team playing head-up until the final whistle. Really, that's all we can ask right now.

Mike Gundy goes off on a reporter. To bad he does not live in Alabama, Finebaum could use some of this abuse!

I'm so glad my University didn't have a football team. I don't need this added stress in my life!
