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

Skunky, now you are trying to stir the pot! :lol:


Boiling, Boiling, Pot is Boiling over.....

Negatory Ghost-rider....haven't heard anything on Cutcliffe

Latest: Tubby still in the hunt after dissing the AD today to finalize his contract. He will be in Hogland starting tomorrow through the weekend killing geese....I imagine he will need a second/third battery on his cell while in the woods.

Kiffin is still in play. If it is a go, he would bring his daddy from Tampa for DC or possibly Orgeron ...weird huh?

Leach (allah forbid...is still in play as well)

Others, Peterson, Johnson still considered....

For the record let me state that yes, I am an Alabama fan from WAAAAYYYYYY back. I love the team, the tradition and all that goes with it. I didn't however agree with the firing of Shula. I did not get down on my hands and knees thank God for sending Saban our way. So, I don't need to be exorcised. Do I think they offered him to much $$? Yes, I do. Do I think that he is the be all and end all of coaches? No, I don't. Do I think that given time he can make a difference with our football team? Yes, I do. But it won't be for another 3 or 4 years. :wave: Now, there are other fans that I know for sure could use an Exorcism.

Yep, I can feel it coming. Hate to say it. I was saying 70% chance UT wins earlier this week, but now that Michigan has been granted permission to talk to Miles after the game, I am saying more like 80% chance of UT winning. Seriously, the distractions are mounting and Tennessee wants this game way more than LSU at this point. I am an objective fan, I hope LSU wins, but my guess is they will not.

Well, I see your point then. And honestly, I knew I should have picked Auburn last week. It was just to hard to BOLD their name!!!! ;-) Good luck though. I hope they beat the SNOT out of the VOLS!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't forget that Pellini has also interviewed at Nebraska.....
Dorsey isn't even close to 100%, more like 60-70%
Matt Flynn may not start or even play with a shoulder injury.....
Ainge and the Vols are getting better every week.

Look for a possible Vol win....

A Wish, a Hope, and a Prayer

Rutgers @ Louisville
Fresno State @ New Mexico State
Miami(Ohio) @ Central Michigan
Navy @ Army
Tulsa @ Central Florida
Florida Atlantic @ Troy
Oregon State @ Oregon
UCLA @ Southern Cal
Arizona @ Arizona State
Boston College vs Virginia Tech (ACC title game in Jacksonville) - a wish'n
Missouri vs Oklahoma (Big XII title game in San Antonio) - a hope'n
LSU vs Tennessee (SEC title game in Atlanta) - and a pray'n!;-)

The Tigers get back defensive lineman Ricky Jean-Francois who has practiced but has not played all year because of an academic issue. He did play well last year. Also, Trinden Holiday should be available.
