To distract us from the constant Mullen talk for a little while, let's look at where we stacked up pitching-wise in the SEC last year.

What do I see in this?
For as much pub as Arkansas's staff got (which was deserved), LSU's was almost as good. They also return Nola (absolute stud), Glenn (solid but I think he's overrated), and most of their pen, so they'll be damn tough pitching-wise this year. USCe, Vandy, and us were all somewhat close together in the 3-5 spots in no particular order. We did create more swing and miss than pretty much every other team, which is great. I expect us to continue that.
UM was very mediocre outside of Wahl. They need Ellis and Buchanan to be healthy and have big years.
I really wish we could have played UT.
