OOOOAUBURN TIGERS OOOOOOOOo. (8-3)

OOOOOOOOOOOO @

ALABAMA CRIMSON TIDE OOO (10-1)

It's early in the 2nd quarter, and Auburn just kicked its third field goal of the game.

Even though they are losing by a score of 14-9, Auburn has a HUGE TIME OF POSSESSION advantage.

That could be a factor as the game wears on if the Alabama defense continues to labor, and the Auburn defense continues to take the field well-rested.

Donnie Humphrey died earlier this year.

Humphrey was an All-American defensive end on the Sugar Bowl champion 1983 team that finished the season at 11-1, and ranked # 3 by both major polls (sportswriters and coaches.)

After college, Humphrey played 3 seasons for the Green Bay Packers from 1984-1986.

After his N.F.L. career ended, Humphrey struggled with a drug addiction that he says began when he was playing for the Packers, and was incarcerated for several years on a forgery conviction in 1994.

Humphrey was 53 years-old.

    • 1:2 is good.  Elite is a player like Arraez who is 1+:1.

    • Was reading Wiggins write up on ESPN. He appears to be more of a home run threat than Koolaid. He had a pick 6 each of the last 2 years.  
    • Starting point has changed.  Given the fact he has approx 1/7th of his season in the books at 1.139, to OPS just .780 for the season, he'd have to drop off to under .730 the rest of the way.  That sort of drop off wouldn't be acceptable to me. I'd like him to OPS .800 the rest of the way for roughly .850 for the season.  The more they use him in a platoon role, the better I think that number might be.
    • Can I ask how you timed it vs the DVR?  Did you use a stopwatch or count click with pause/FF, or something else?
    • I can’t fathom why anyone would want a Tanner Scott return. In 10 innings, he is 0-4 with a 1.78 whip. He was maddening before, and now he’s older. But I wonder if the Red Sox would part with Justin Slaten? He’s been pretty outstanding. Yeah, only 8 innings, but we hired Yohan Ramirez, and he’s been a catastrophe in 10. Yes, I know he’s a rule 5, and the Bosox are in the East. And their pitching is pretty thin, too. But they know they aren’t going anywhere in this division, and they might think getting a good return for a Free Rule 5 guy might be worthwhile.
    • This draft unfolded weirdly.  First with the *nix guys getting taken early and then how no defensive players got taken all draft, and then a bunch of teams reaching for OTs.  I'm pretty happy with how the draft unfolded because I think we got a player that I expected to be gone by the teens or early 20s.  I don't know what we're doing with our OL but hopefully we can maybe trade up from 62 to pick someone up.
