Just wondering what your opinion of some of the defenses ranked lower.

I don’t really have an opinion on other defenses, having seen them maybe 1 time.

My opinion on rankings and stats is that they can be pretty unreliable.

They tell as much about the quality or lack of quality of your opponents as they do about your team.

It’s MLB’s model that keeps me from watching. All big markets dominate free agency and buy players with no salary cap.

Exactly what I meant. I don't understand it. But that just goes to show you that $ doesn't always = championships!! Last year it did, but they have spent 100s of millions of dollars and not won the world series. You still have to be smart, most of all, and you have to be lucky. Because even though baseball is not a contact sport in regards to football or hockey, there always seems to be a crapload of injuries throughout the year in MLB and I can't understand it to save my life, with the exception of pitching injuries because I do see how easy it can be to pull or tear something while throwing that hard and, as a result, you can't pitch until you are close to 100% because you risk reinjuring yourself or turning a minor injury into a season or career ending one. But like you were saying about not having a salary cap in baseball, I too agree that all sports should have a number because not all teams are equal as far as revenue is concerned. Bigger market teams bring in bigger paydays. Prime example = LA Dodgers. Their roster probably, and idk for a fact but I would bet on it, has the highest earnings in all of sports and I doubt it's even close. Sad. I'm a Cardinals fan and we are total opposite of LA. We are cheap, but seem to get the most out of the players we have or have had in the past.

Broome out?

I doubt that he plays against us, but I've been wrong before. I do know he won't be playing tomorrow against UGA. He hasn't practiced since he was injured and Auburns injury report has him listed out indefinitely. So I would be pretty surprised if he plays next Saturday against us. But with that being said they are still a handful without Broome. They were behind the night Broome got hurt and after he left the game Auburn went on a big run and ended up winning pretty easily. So it's gonna be a good one, but if we take care of the ball, play our defense like usual, and Chaz gets going early, they or nobody else in the country can beat us. Florida was a fluke. We haven't shot the ball that bad since the game was invented. Just one of those crazy bad nights. If I'm not mistaken, the analysts said that was the 1st time a team has shot less than 15% from 3, less than 30% from 2, and less than 50% from the FT line. I may be a tad off on the %s, but I know it's close. But that just shows how bad of a game we had offensively and it wasn't Florida's defense because we were open a bunch. Shots just didn't fall.
