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

Hey, I like Vandy. We go into every year expecting to lose. When we catch a win in the SEC it's like we've won the national championship :lol:

I love fans who never think they're out of it ;-) It doesn't have anything to do with Tuberville IMO, they just don't have the firepower this year. LSU will catch a scare this week, but most likely roll Auburn the following week.

I have to wonder, however, how things would be right now if one of those fourth down calls had not gone LSU's way last weekend (particularly the last one).

Miles would be getting crucified right now (and justifiably so).

LSU may coast the rest of the way, but in this league........

No one, NO ONE thought AU had a chance against UF. Just like no one will think Bama has a chance against LSU, or that USC has a chance against UF, etc, etc.

Bizarro world, the SEC is.

That's why we all love the SEC! SEC champ is almost always the national champ in my eyes for that reason.
Auburn's still out of it folks :lol:

...you know it's bad when BR comes in after 10 pm and she couldn't pick it! BTW...can I change to Arkansas? I'd feel better choosing a team closer to my state.

I know. This has really been a busy week. I am totally out of touch with anything but work, meetings, household chores, and manicures/pedicures.

She is so far away.

My Mizzou child is making me nervous and has me second guessing myself. I think I'll just go buy a fun bag instead. :wave:

I feel your pain BR...this week has wiped me out, too. :cool:

When do you arrive? I waved at your house today. I better stop before that Skunkmaster reprimands me again. :wave:

Tomorrow night is the plan, although I have been so busy this week that I haven't begun to pack, and I still have a few errands to run after I get out of class at noon tomorrow.

Thank God the housesitter is available -- that was stressing me out because I didn't hear from her until after 8 tonight. Trying to get to the beach before sunset. If I am too fried, Plan B is to leave early Saturday AM.

Plan A is, "Is there anyone ready to par-tay tomorrow night?" :floor:
