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

Totally don't agree with the refs allowing a coach to call timeout right in the middle of a field goal going through the goalposts, and them not counting it. The announcers mentioned seeing that in a game last week. Talking about swaying the refs. Standing there with his hand on his shoulder. :scratch:

P.S. Skunky, we are ready for the next games. Not that I am ever going to do any better than 8 points it doesn't look like, unless a miracle happens. :idontno:

I haven't looked yet, but I think the mighty do fall, no? :blink:

I kept my list from Steven and PawPaw...at least I'll know who to trust from now on. ;-)

My husband watched the last part of the Auburn-Florida game and saw them kick the field goal that was waved off due to Meyer calling time out right as he was kicking the ball. He said what the f**k are they allowing that for? Look at him standing there with his hand on that ref's shoulder. That shouldn't be allowed in any game. And he doesn't even watch college football as he doesn't care for it.

Kathy,

How has the LAST two weeks been?

$32Mil= 3-2 and sliding...........

You've been Sabanized....

It doesn't feel so good actually. No, I have not been sabanized. I knew we were not going to have a perfect season. I knew we would suffer some losses and even though I picked Alabama to win against FS, in my heart I knew we probably would not win that game. We looked really, really bad. Like whitey I hope they got their butts chapped. Saban needs to go back and regroup.

Saban needs to rip himself a new one. IMO, he did a lousy job preparing this football team today. JPW is the most fundamentally-unsound QB I've seen in a long time.

But kudos to FSU, their defensive speed was the difference tonight.

I agree totally to all statments above. That FSU defense was awesome!!!!

How can the "almighty" not be prepared......I hear that flushing sound, better make sure that Roll doesn't clog up the plumbing......

Oh, BITE ME!!!!

Yea...so were the Bama officials who called a pathetic pass interference at the end on a play that was at least 10 ft OVER the head of the receiver. EVEN the commentators said that was "marginal"

A-HOLE.......p.o.

Great Game Noles.....

Typical? I'm glad you think so. Same ole BS. We're superior, right? Great. Eyes? Open. Bear? Isn't dead he lives in my guest bedroom . You know it's funny the only people that talk about the Bear on this board are not Bama fans. Isn't that ironic? You get the eff over him and stop talking about him because you think we do. Job? Only kidding. Commentators? I don't know who they are. Sorry if I was wrong but for the Ark and Ga game they were terrible so I grouped them in the same lame basket.

About Saban- If we have the money to pay a great coach then fine. We'll pay it.

Yes, it is ironic. Whitey, I have come to the conclusion that the reason they talk about the the Bear is because they are jealous that they never had a coach like him on their football fields. :wave:

That is the name of the game. Shake up the kicker. Didn't work for him though, but I gave him kudo's for trying.

Umm...ask your husband. I called your house and may or may not have woken him up.

God bless the Florida alums for sending us jager bombs all night. And God bless my balance, or I'd have taken a nasty little stumble off the bar stool I was standing on.

Ok, what next? :wave:

Well, I had never seen that before. It may have been done quite often, I just don't notice stuff like that.

Apologies for the tardy score updates. I just rolled in from 2 straight nights at a certain roadhouse that straddles the Florida/Alabama border. More on that later...I am off to 331. Updates and next week's slate will be posted soon. :wave:

Love this article yesterday on the Flora-Bama: :rolling:

Quote from one of the owners:

"A good saloonkeeper doesn't talk about politics, religion or sex and we never root for Alabama, Auburn, Florida or Florida State," he said. "We just ask for the best team to win. And we never, ever root for Notre Dame. As a proprietor, I look for overtime and extra innings."

And the Irish are 0-5. :wave:

Anyone going to the game Sat? I know of a crew of unaffilated people flying out from LAX on Fri. Just for the hell of it.
