Club members make preseason predictions for the teams of The Citadel, Clemson, Furman, USC and Wofford with the tie-breaker being a prediction of the score for the Clemson vs. USC game.

Winners were awarded prizes donated by local merchants.

Col. Roy Mathis (ret.) chairs the event. Prognosticators for the teams are: Jim Cook, Citadel; David Parker, Clemson; Dr. Bobby Morrow, Furman; Jim Inman, USC; and Dr. Bill James, Wofford.

The club meets at noon each Tuesday in the Stephenson Conference Center on the Limestone College campus.
