Born (Birmingham) and raised (Florence) in the Alabama, I graduated from Auburn University in 07 with a degree in Environmental Design and am now working as a graphic designer at an in-house media group specializing in advertising and packaging in Decatur, Alabama. I have been watching, following, and getting way to into both Braves baseball and anything Auburn since I can remember. I play entirely too much golf (scratch that, there is no such thing as too much golf)

I am a huge proponent of stats, because you can almost always rely on them to make an argument, and, while not always the case, they don't lie. You cannot argue stats, they are what they are and that is why they should be the staple of any discussion. It is a huge pet peeve of my mine when someone simply looks at results to make an assessment of a football team, when it is possible to look at stats to see what caused a win or loss, great or poor performance, etc.
