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

Cocks draw first blood!:biggrin:
7-0

BTW if you're going to the Auburn game, you'd better be on the road. There was a lane closed south of Atlanta that was slowing things down when we went through -- we left the Georgia Tech game early because it was such a blowout. :)

CP, Neyland Stadium is one tough place to play, a sea of nearly 107,000 orange screaming fans. However, it is pay per view only and I cannot see spending $30 to watch that game. I would if it were a game that was going to be an actual challenge. ;-) Sure we played Southern Miss back in 2000 and barely beat them but that was not in Knoxville. Will have to settle for listening on the radio. We have cable on both of our tv's but I can only get the pay per view off of the one tv in the living room with the DVR and my husband will be sitting in here watching things tonight after he gets home from work so that is out of the question. I don't know the reasoning for carrying some of the games like that on pay per view only. And in the Sowal NCAA pick'em I was thinking long and hard about the Oregon and Michigan game. I kept thinking I should pick Oregon as I have watched alot of their games and know how well they can play. But I went with Michigan and they are being picked apart by Oregon. I knew I should have gone the other way. :bang:
Ladyde,we might get our fannies spanked, up in UT land, we sorta make a living doing that about once a season. However, sometimes we spank the big guys in the SEC. Maybe ya'll could come down to H'burg next year,in out newly renovated (complete with sky boxes) stadium.:wave: :wave: :wave:

If UT schedules a game with Southern Miss next year I am sure that is where it will be. And Tennessee will be glad to come down there to play you guys again. :wave:

Well CP, the game is over. Tennessee won 39-19. Two radio stations here carried the game. Sorry you guys lost but you had the upper hand until the end of the first half. Then Tennessee took over. :biggrin: LSU is kind of mopping up with Virginia Tech. I kind of at least expected VT to give LSU a little bit of a problem but obviously they don't have the kind of team they have had in the past. Go and buy you a AM/FM headset radio. That is what I listened to the game on here. I got a yellow and black one with a small black antenna made by Optimus Sports. It picks up good here in our house.

Sorry I was so late getting back on here. I was watching the LSU game also. But poor Tennessee has Florida next Saturday at the swamp. They schedule early with Florida every season. Always around the 3rd or 4th game. I wished they would save that game until closer to the end of the season. They have managed only twice that I can remember to be able to beat Florida. Once at the swamp and once at home. They are going to get their fannies smacked next Saturday for sure. I will watch it and cheer for them but I can tell the outcome already. :(

I don't know either but ... I thought I would point out that USF played its very first game 10 years and 2 days ago. :wave:

Not terribly surprised at the outcome though. :cool:

Skunky, when ya going to get the next games on here for us to pick? If I had gone with my instincts like I should have I was leaning more toward picking South Carolina over Georgia and Oregon over Michigan at first. Should have gone with my instincts. I am sure I will pick more wisely this next go round. :biggrin:

6 POINTS

Shallowsnole-Thank goodness it was UAB, not USF
Seaside2-Hanging in there
Skunkape-Next week I'm cheating off Rapunzel
