[doug shank's crossover]

Only slightly tongue in cheek: Yeah! We're not picked last! Progress, baby!
Seriously.....the arrow is pointed up for this young Braves Team.

[real fan]

I have a hard time believing MO.St. was picked to finish in front of us after losing their best player to injury and also losing multiple ones to graduation, still think if Egolf and Dyricus can have good seasons we could finish 5th or
6th.

[Future Walk-On]

Considering we will finish no worse than 5th in the valley

I see this poll as a sham
