Good Luck & Travel Grace to All!

Note: Competition rules are as follows 1.) Because there are so many of you I need you to clearly make your picks as I have put them as far as names go so there is no mistakes on my part in scoring 2.) All picks must be in on Thursday games at least 15 minutes before game start on Saturday games all picks should be in one hour before start of first game of the day, if the thread happens to still be open and you pick after the start of the first game(s) your pick(s) for those game(s) is voided. 3.) Scoring will be posted by the following Monday each week (I do try to get them done on Sunday’s but sometime I travel and I be tired just like the rest of you & I don’t get paid to do this so be patient and kind to me). 4.) I will also post the next week’s pick between Sunday at Noon and the latest Monday Noon so no need to stress on that either.

[JSUTigers1877]

A lot of 0-1..

 

[CEE DOG]

A lot of 0-1..

Don't worry. You really didn't look that good. It's not going to be what you think in SWAC play. Just saying.. Congrats though!

 

[MUMFORD]

A lot of 0-1..

Not I.

 

[ColdBlooded]

Don't worry. You really didn't look that good. It's not going to be what you think in SWAC play. Just saying.. Congrats though!

Well, atleast you got one thing right.

 

[Damariun]

Don't worry. You really didn't look that good. It's not going to be what you think in SWAC play. Just saying.. Congrats though!

Man your coach got in national tv and said “I get paid to beat SWAC teams.” Nobody from AAMU can never say anything to me again until he leaves.

 

[NastyD]

Don't worry. You really didn't look that good. It's not going to be what you think in SWAC play. Just saying.. Congrats though!

This shyt don't stop. Y'all arses gone get kicked too

 

[THEESwacProphet]

Don't worry. You really didn't look that good. It's not going to be what you think in SWAC play. Just saying.. Congrats though!

And let the hurdle moving begin. Because with over 60 transfers , new head coach, new dc & OC, and new systems, nobody had us even winning this dominantly… and JSU left points out there.

And hint hint… some folks got left at the crib.
