Interesting SEC games for Auguest 30, August 31, & Sepember 1

[Marshal Dillon]

You guys realize that we haven't organized a football pool yet, and (as I recall) last year Smitty was the brains behind it. Are we going to have one?

Don't count on me for the knowledge on setting it up.

I missed the reason ssmith has quit posting. He was a solid poster with a good intellect. I wish him the very best.


 

I'm not sure why he stopped coming around, but I assume he is just busy in real life.  The last I heard, they were moving to Pensacola.  I hope everything is going well for them.

Thanks for the info. I'm glad he did not leave mad or disillusioned with our board. I hope he come back.

SC wins easily.
Kentucky loses to Louisville.
Clemson dominates.
Tennessee barely escapes with a win, avoiding a colossal embarrassment to themselves and the SEC.

This sounds fairly accurate to me.

The following weekend we get to see TA&M and Missouri in SEC play, versus Florida and Georgia.  That will give us a good view of how these schools are going to manage in the SEC this year.  And I really don't think I can pull for either Florida or TAM in that game.

There are several good games for the opening weekend. Too bad the barn-Clemson game is only 1 hour earlier than ours. I think it will be a good game. Both teams are poorly coached IMO. The barn has too many holes. The new DC will help but they don't have any size at LB and the DB's are not SEC caliber. I think they have a decent DL. I think the O-line and running game will struggle. That puts a lot od pressure on a not very good QB. I think Clemson wins by 10. The barn also needs to worry about Miss State in game 2.

I'm not sure why he stopped coming around, but I assume he is just busy in real life.  The last I heard, they were moving to Pensacola.  I hope everything is going well for them.

Ditto.  LF and I drove past his former residence in Alabama last week, and I waved as we passed (meaning I thought of him).  I miss him and his banter.  

Hope he's happy; wish he'd return (and get his azz busy helping run the pool! 

I miss him, too. I know he made it here to Pensacola, but haven't heard from him in months. I speculated before, that maybe he was in love since he found a new LF. Must be very powerful. 

SC, looks like it's up to you to do the pool.

I miss Smitty too and don't want to take away from everything he did to help SC get this board started and his help in the football pool. But as I recall Smitty picked the 10 best games with the spreads from the vegas lines. He turned it over to SC from there. If SC needs any help I think he knows there are several of us who will be glad to help out anyway we can.

I couldn't agree more. Maybe Smitty will come out of hibernation to participate.

I think Vandy-USCe has the potential to be the second best game in the conference first week.

USCe by 10
Louisville routs UK by 28
Barn squeaks it out by 3
UT in a squeaker by 6

It sounds like we already have 4 + the Bama game.  Any nominations for the other 5 games?

Is this a different girl than the one who was also a geologist?

Same one as far as I know.

In that case I think you are probably right.

How about:

Boise St - Mich. St.
Navy - ND
Miami - BC
So. Miss. - Nebraska
Ga. Tech - Va. Tech

Ohio at Penn State might be a fun one, also.

Those are the only decent games left in the first weekend.

I like the Ohio-PSU matchup. Very, very tricky. OUnorth is coming off a strong season, and .... well, we all know about PSU.

Does anyone happen to know of a web site/news feed that has a schedule database in a simple format that can be easily parsed by an automated program?  Most of the sites I've looked at have everything embedded within their web page, which makes it difficult to extract the schedule info.  I am thinking about trying to write a piece of code that pulls the schedule in and creates a poll for everyone to vote for which games they want in the contest for that week.  Then I could pretty much put the contest on auto pilot.  Maybe one of the betting sites has a feed that includes the line too.
