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

I'm ready for the updated scores. Hope Skunky can get them on here before I go to church. If not, I will have to wait until this afternoon.

I am out the door to work, then out and about. Be patient LadyD, I will have them up by this evening.

And Saban might have a nation, but Kansas' coach is a CONTINENT! :wave:

I have to be. Does anyone have any regular season games left I wonder or is it all Conference Championship games? But regardless, they will be fun to pick.

I look forward to the funny things you have to say about each person. The highlight of my weekend is getting to read them.

So when people refer to Phillip Fulmer as Fat Phil, they need to think back and picture the Kansas coach. He looks four times the size of Phillip Fulmer.

Iron Bowl Funn Fact-Gussi has been to 47 consecutive Iron Bowls!!!

War Eagle! What a game...kinda. We were in the upper deck, 3 rows from the top in the Bama section. Lots of reds...lots of reds.

Anyway, it was pretty dang cold all the way up there, and my cousin "Bama Wayne" officially univited me for Christmas, but it was worth it. :cool:

Lots of Beam, lots of tailgaiting, lots of Pygmies. One more notch in the old Iron Bowl belt.

Oh, and ran into old Brandon Cox at the Supper Club last night. I bet he's glad he's done. He's going to open that car dealership like Jay Barker now.

TTYL...off to the 'ham to catch my flight! :wave:

She takes after me! We had a pom pom photo shoot before the parade.

KDW- I hope that Baby Jesus is awake and listnin' to our prayers!

Baby Jesus did not hear our prayers Whitey!!!! :bang:

How much is Saban taking Bama Nation for?

0-6 ouch......

Kathy....been watching basketball lately????;-)

I don't do basketball Arkie, but Whitey does. I am so over this football season AGAIN. I knew it wasn't going to be great, but I didn't think it was going to be this bad.

So to all you Auburn fans out there, congratulations to 6 years of this!!!!!!

Why would he listen to Bama's prayers when they sold their soul to
the Satan? Go Satanation!

Nicky made $666,666.66 for each of Bama's wins this year....
Coincidence?;-)

I'll take that as a compliment. :cool:

Out of curiosity, how is the pickers' point system set? Is it cumulative and one point given for each correct pick?

Yes, and I know you picked earlier in the season but I am too lazy to wade through the entire thread to figure out your cumulative total. If you can find it, I will update it.

Congrats, Kitty. Hey, Skunky, if I had picked during Week I, my score would be so much better.

It's been funn.

Skunky, I feel your pain re LSU. If it's any consolation, we Gator fans are in more pain. Who would have thought that the Gators would have three losses? I certainly didn't expect it. :idontno:

Considering the defense was essentially a corps of new faces and the schedule, three losses is pretty darn good. Based on what we are seeing this year, I think the days of regular 10+ win seasons for any team may be gone forever...way too much talent spread out over many teams nowadays.

BR-I just looked at Florida's 2008 schedule, and it is perfect for a NC run, assuming the key players remain.

Wish we didn't have TN as an away game, but at least LSU is at home. It seems weird not playing Auburn.

BR, I don't think you have to worry about the game between Florida and Tennessee being away. Tennessee rarely beats Florida no matter where the game is. And 21 of Tennessee's players this year are seniors including Erik Ainge and all of Tennessee's good offensive and defensive players. Those are going to be some hard shoes to fill for next year.

Skunky, they seem to know something about Memphis so I am beginning to think seaside2 is a disgruntled Memphis Tigers fan. Tennessee has beaten Memphis in football every game but one since 1990 and that was a loss to them in 1996 by 4 points. But Tennessee blasted Memphis last year not only in football 41-7 but also beat the Tigers basketball team by 18 points also.
