hey, just saying if you extend my post for a full season, I am easily a 7.4 War poster.. there is some value in that right.

You don't want a player who only shows up after you're out of the playoff hunt. I was the first one here, I've been here all year, and I can assure you I will be the last one to leave. I'm going down with this ship.

You can have your flash. I'm the rock you build on.

What was your user handle at Scout? I'd swear you were Chop2Chip.

look old timer.. If I had been here when you showed up, we wouldn't have been out of the playoff hunt.. Boom, that just happened!!

You don't even know what people around here really think about you, do you? Look, I'm not about to betray confidentiality, but let's just say you're lucky I'm here. You would have never had a chance.
 
Did you pick that up while Fred smoot was at state or after?

Online? Would have to be after. I didn't really start hanging around message boards until probably 2005 or so. But it's Fred Smoot, his legacy will never die.

I have a few guys I consider to be my favorite State players, and thus athletes, of all-time, like Jerious Norwood, Dak, Moulds, Dampier, and Varnado. But in reality? Deep down? It's Smoot. Then Dontae Jones. Being a State fan has never been more fun than when they were around.
 
Bro, if you want to go with extrapolating and rate statistics, I have a much higher TPR (Thanks-Post Ratio). I'm clearly the saber-friendly choice.

I'm glad you brought that up, one of my projects in the future was to do some saberforumetrics for here.

Heyward has the worst thanks-post ratio with a minimum of 2k posts.
 
We used this over at another site.. this isn't all my work..

A.S.S (Attention Seeking Success) - Responses Generated/Attention Seeking Post. 10 is considered excellent (i.e. 10 responses for every attention seeking post). At the end of each year, the biggest A.S.S. earns “Moth Incineration Award.”

E.V.A (Earned Verbiage Average) - Average number of words in a post X 9/number of posts. Unlike ERA, the higher the number the more one qualifies for the “Droning Award.”

V.A.R (Vitriol Above Replacement) - The sum of vein-popping rants found in any post divided by all posts. Like baseball, if you have a .300 average you likely have self-control issues, but are in line for the “Bucket of Venom Spit Award.”

F/CF (Fabricating/Caught Fabricating) - Number of attempts to prove a point by making up stuff/fabrications revealed. In general, if you can get away with 20% fabrications, consider yourself vindicated in a lip-synched sort of way.

M.V.P (Most Victimized Poster) - Threads initiated stating a point view/umbrage taken when the point of view is not worshiped, but challenged. If you can maintain a .400 average in this category, you have a shot at drinking from the “Chalice of the Aggrieved” and earning immortality in “MirrorLand.”

I.R.I (I’m Right Index) - Total number of threads initiated for the purpose of pointing out one’s genius/all threads initiated. This number is often incalculable, but the winner also gets immortality in “MirrorLand” where hopefully he/she/it can coexist with the M.V.P.

BSCA (Bat Crazy Award) - Percentage of total posts with extraordinary lunacy passed off as reality/number of alternate universes occupied by the person posting. The award is always presented by a life-sized cutout of Rod Serling passed off as a real person.

R.C.I. (Roster Change Index) - The number of roster moves demanded, including managerial firings/the numerical rank of each month that a roster move was demanded + the Defcon Level of the demand for change (5-1). Points are tallied at the end of each month. At the end of the season, the highest total earns the beautiful "Hyper Distraction Award" ornamented with an image of a puppy in a room full of bouncing balls.

Earned Accolades Average (EAA) - The number of posts in anonymity about private life prowess X 9/Successful efforts to actually try and validate that prowess in anonymity with no proof. This actually can never be calculated since the divider is always "0." Regardless, at the end of each year the total number of posts about private life prowess is added up and the winner receives the "Leap of Faith Award."

Delusional Trade Index (DTI) - A plus/minus calculation based on the differentiator between the value of a player to be traded versus the value of the talent sought from other teams. Typically this skews heavily against the team with the talent being sought as trades are proposed offering the dregs of your team for top-tier talent on other teams. Winner gets the coveted "Covet Award" ornamented with an image of an insane asylum flying the franchise flags of all teams but his.

Irrelevant Content Average (ICA) - Number of times drifting off topic X 9/particulate matter of mind altering substances in the room from which the post emanates. Anything under 3.00 is considered lost in thought, under 2.00 is irreversibly irrelevant, under 1.00 is blithering. Winner earns the "Transcendent Thought Award" ornamented with a boat adrift in a vast sea.
 
Holy crap.. I didn't know there were awards on this board. I would have been on my better behavior..

hoping I win.. I heard first prize is a signed Gerald Laird Baseball card...

:FrediPuzzled:

if it was me I would hold out for a Gerald Perry card! (ok you have to have been a fan in the horrible 80s to know who he was)
