Beyond The Box Score: Are You Not Entertained?

Run. The. Ball. Has that been the most common complaint this year? It feels like it, yeah?

Pourover: The thin margins in the SEC

I decided to celebrate last night. Celebrate the conclusion of a successful season. Celebrate a team predicted to finish 12th in the league and finished tied for 8th.
