why I detest Utefans.net

The most interesting number is my esteemed spiritual brother Goatnapper, with a modest 0.16. I suspect he has the biggest standard deviation of them all, raking in a rich bounty of red stars (good) when he zings zoobs or muses on mammaries, and inviting a deluge of blue stars (not so good) when he dares tweak the Ute faithful.

Flinging these stats around has me feeling my inner Indy today.

I had one post over there that was 8 up and 8 down. Damn near a perfect game for a kid pitching in Mustang, 8-9 years old where one is only allowed to pitch three innings, for a Boys Baseball league!

That was my finest moment.

It's good, but hardly in Senioritis's realm. My ratio (2.4) is due to the Utes' healthy respect for their elders, as well as my washboard abs. Plus, of my 1007 red stars, 994 of them came from me.

You always hit 'em down the middle. A more sophisticated scoring system would be based on the persons giving the stars. A negative from guys like Trounce, Newman, and a host of others whose opinions mean very little, would actually boost your rating. Your star bank account would take on Gatesian proportions.

This is the most recommended post in UFN history, garnering 105 red stars.

And FWIW, here is the all-time top ten, sans moi. My best work has received only 62 stars.

according to CB rankings, I am one of the 10 or so most despised posters, and #1 most despised among BYU fans.

A little perspective on the red stars. Here is my most decorated post:

Not a home run, but you got some solid wood on it (not a reference to your banned post on Cougarboard). I can recall several other offerings that were superior, including a report on the aerodynamic qualities of different whiskey bottles, and your exegesis on the appropriate libations for weddings, baptisms and christenings. The Utefans search function is impossible for me to operate, so such masterpieces will remain forever lost.

I have 56 posts on UF.n and a total star rating of -200. That is -3.57 stars per post. A solid effort if I dont say so myself.

ufn is unreadable. And it's also unreadable from a technical standpoint.
