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

As every executive will tell you, status (and bonuses) are based on, "What have you done for me lately?"

I still love ya, gull, even if you are a Bama fan.

Skunky, I hear you guys are wearing these for the game vs Tulane?

They wore those helmets once for a bowl game about 10 years ago. Not sure about the unis. Love the pelican.

The pelican is OURS at Tulane! It's on the Tulane class ring. The rednecks from Red Stick stole our pelican!

Now I know you are confused. The 1834 featured in Toolame's crest signifies the last time they beat LSU. Perhaps 65 sticks out in your mind as a score the Tigers have bested the greenie weenies by three times in history (as in 65-0) :wave:

Actually Tulanians are proud that we lose at athletics. We're smarter and richer. So neener-neener. :floor:

Besides, we Tulanians are into intellectual endeavors rather than athletics. I remember when there was a vote at Tulane to do away with all intercollegiate athletics at Tulane. From personal experience I only went to Tulane football games to socialize with the frats. And the only reason I went to Tulane basketball games was because they sold beer at the games and Big D was playing.

Oh, and one year when Pistol Pete was at LSU, Tulane beat LSU in both the home and away games versus LSU. As a result, the athletic supporters at Tulane gave all of the players a gold basketball with the TU logo and and diamond embedded in it. It's in my jewelry box. :wub:

So as much as I love college athletics, at least Tulane slammed LSU one year.

Tulane's Boudreaux suspended from team, school after stabbing arrest
Associated Press

NEW ORLEANS -- Police on Friday arrested a Tulane football player in the Bourbon Street stabbing that left five people hurt last weekend.
Tulane confirmed that Ray Boudreaux had been arrested and said the senior also had been suspended from school and the team. His name did not appear on the team roster online Friday afternoon.
Police accuse Boudreaux of stabbing five people in a fight between two groups at a French Quarter bar that ended on the streets Sept. 16; a surveillance camera caught the stabbing, police said.
Boudreaux was arrested early Friday at his home in Metairie on five counts of attempted murder, according to police, who also say the knife used in the stabbings was found in his house.
Police Sgt. Joe Narcisse said a tipster recognized Boudreaux on the video.
Boudreaux is a 5-foot-10-inch running back who last year started two of the eight games he played and had 175 yards, according to Tulane's 2007 media guide.

Sweet. I bet the blade was flashing secondary to the dual stresses of figuring out what to do with his stock dividends and a disagreement with fellow bookworms regarding Plato's cave.:roll:

No one would disagree with that.;-)

On another note, I didn't mean to offend you with the SMU comment. I'm just in the habit of ribbing SMU fans because my cousin and I were at SMU and Tulane, respectively, at the same time, and we've ribbed each other for years.

No offense taken. It is just surprising to me that people actually put one another's academics down when talking about football. :idontno:

Personally, I have never made fun of anyone's college of choice, I am just pleased they are pursuing a degree!
