SOWAL NCAA pick'em

[Lady D]

Wasn't aware of any injury to Lincoln, didn't ever hear anything mentioned. But he has had games when not injured where he has missed most of his field goals in a game. Someone kicked a field goal for the Vols and Lincoln missed all three of his attempts, so it had to be Chad Cunningham, the Vols punter/place kicker. They should have given him a crack at one of the ones Lincoln missed, the Vols would have faired no worse.

Week 9 picks, bring them on.

Lincoln apparently did make a field goal for the Vols in the second quarter, but it was a 24 yarder.

It would be cool if we could get the picks early. By the time the picks are on here, and I'm sure its not just me. But, I have to rush to get them on there in time because I have very little time to research before I choose who I'm going to pick. I just think that we all could use a little more time. Thanks.

Heh heh...I don't research. I just guess. And you see where it gets me.

I research a little, you can see for sure it gets me nowhere. I am near the cellar, I've never been next to last.

Some games I am just not certain on, and I need some time to research some games. Some are obvious, but some aren't. And you might need time to mull it over. Thats all I'm saying about it.

Before we choose the games for the pick'em, we need to do some research, getting the poll results, the lines, think about which conferences have important matchups, etc. We try not to pick blowout games (except for the more popular teams on the board), and we try to choose a sampling from conferences other than the SEC, ACC, and Texas teams. As a result, we like to wait until Monday.
