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

I personally don't feel superior. I just feel proud and lucky as hell when the Gators do well. Because what goes up will come down, so I just enjoy the ride when we're up. I definitely don't feel entitled.

I'm not offended by your comments. I can totally relate to people who have strong feelings for their college teams.:wave:

I literally can't wait to Iron Bowl week, which is great because I haven't cared the last few years. Game ON!

I'm kinda banking on Gussie for tickets. He's pretty good at pulling them. Or Phead's girlfriend's family owns half of Jordan Hare, so maybe through them if he behaves.

Megan has a kick ass tailgate, if you can handle Joe. So that's a back up plan for me...

Maybe Gussie kind find me some? I can barely handle Joe with non-football conversations. Imagine trying to talk to him during the Iron Bowl when you are a fan of the opposing team. :boxing:

Come to think of it, no. The Tallahassee newspaper has dubbed it "WAR" a couple of times, but as far as I know (and I'm pretty good at keeping up with these things), we just call it The Florida Game. Vice-versa if you're from UF.

Remember, though, our rivalry only goes back to 1947, when both schools became co-educational. Bama and Auburn go back to when Jesus was a little boy.

Actually, it was when Jesus was 8lbs, 6ozs and lying in the manger :biggrin:

Subject: Anthrax Scare at Auburn


Auburn, AL September 13, 2007

Anthrax Scare at Auburn

Auburn football practice was delayed nearly two hours today after a player
reported finding an unknown white powdery substance on the practice field.

Coach Tommy Tubberville immediately suspended practice while police and
federal investigators were called to investigate.

After a complete analysis, FBI forensic investigators determined that the
white substance unknown to the players was the goal line.

Practice was resumed after special agents decided the team was unlikely to
encounter the substance again.

I've never liked the Alabama attitude. It's sort of like they feel superior to everyone else in the SEC and feel entitled to win because of the Bear Bryant legacy. But heck, he hasn't been there in 25 years. IMO they should get over it.

Gee, I could go a couple of way's with this BR. First, BITE ME and Go BEAR!!!! I won't ever get over it. Second of all, Alabama attitude? Yep, I got it and I plan to keep it until I take my last breathe of air. Superior to everyone else in the SEC? Well, we do have ALOT of National and SEC chamiponships under our belt. :biggrin:

Let's get this out in the open-

1.I do not own a "Sabanation" shirt and never plan on it. I'm making funn of it just as much as others. I think it's crazy and obsessive but hey, it's who we are and we aren't the only fans that are bat-sheet crazy. (If you've been disappointed for the last 6 years you'd be excited to celebrate this year, too.)

2. I don't worship the Bear and what he did. Over it.

3. I think Saban is a great coach. He's high profile and has put the University back in the spotlight and he has given the players a lot of confidence they didn't have last year under Mike "Mr. Personality" Shula. :wave:

4. Alabama fans do feel superior. ALL SEC fans feel superior. This is pretty obvs. :roll: I might talk a lot of talk but it's all in good funn.

Everybody take a deep breath and relax. :bang: Dueces.

GREAT post Whitey!!!!! I don't own a Sabanation shirt either, and I won't.

I was down and out in Alabama for a couple of days. And yes, I too did not expect to win every game this season. I knew we wouldn't. So, I am over this loss, now on to another game, and hopefully a win!!!!
