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

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!
I thought Skunky and I were just talking some smack. All in fun (at least, from my point of view). Once when I got my feelings hurt on a sports thread because people were disparaging the University of Florida, someone said that on this (or any) message board, you ought to expect some smack on a sports thread. Since then, I try not to take any of the sports talk to heart.

Your comment about Alabama's attitude almost sent me over the edge. You might not have been speaking directly about me or any other Alabama fan on this board but you of all fans should've known that was a low blow (even if it was just an opinion.)

I think I see now. You are lonely Kimmi and just need a place you feel at home. You are welcome in the Sabanation anytime you'd like. :biggrin:

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


Skunkape, I got this off the Dandy Don web site ::

LSU will be playing Tulane this Saturday at 11:00 a.m. on ESPN2 and the Tigers will be wearing new uniforms designed by Nike. The uniforms were designed to help fundraising efforts for hurricane Katrina victims. Personally, I do not like the new uniforms because they break tradition and are a little too flashy for me, but I am an old timer and do not like change too much. The new uniforms will be used for only this one game.

SoWal NCAA update...BR and Miss Kitty are all :clap: again! JB still has an attitude to go along with that degree. Kimmi is choosing her words very nicely!!! Dr, Skunky still cracks me up with the pick'em results. Darlene is slowly recovering and we are so glad she is back!!!

I am having a hard time with my picks this week. :bang: tried to use this week to bond with PawPaw and Steven and they gave me 4 games with opposing choices. (you know how men like to help the little woman ;-) ) So, bear with me while I get some darts. :wave:

If you work for said institution why didn't you print out a PHD instead of a Master's? :lol:

eheh. Good one, Kurt. Screw a dissertation. I'm far too lazy for that. Plus, I'm not faculty, but a marketing guy, so it wouldn't make a bit of difference in my salary.

Y'all snicker all you want. I live here because this is where I want to raise my family. Pretty good place, T-town is.

After five years in Birmingham and two in DC, I came home.

So shoot me.

Quote of the Weekend...Really

Overheard in the North endzone of Bryant-Denny after Georgia's Brandon Coutu missed the tie-breaking field goal at the end of regulation:

"It's like the breath of The Bear blew down from Heaven to push it wide!"


Who says Coach Bryant ever made it to heaven? Even so, Coutu did say in the post-game press conference that he distinctly smelled "a mixture of Gin and Listerine" after the kick.

A tip of the hat to Daniel for the quote.

You're not pulling for the "Yeller" Jackets? :(

We got an email from the GT alumni association telling us to wear yellow on Saturday for the Clemson game. During BJ's first year at GT we could go to Lenox and find yellow everywhere. Not this year. Guess that color is not "in" now. I'll have to wear something old from my closet. To tell the truth, I hate wearing yellow (not among my favorite colors), but I've become accustomed to wearing it as a parent of a GT student and the wife of a GT board member.
