Can we do an episode just about the March Madness style poll we did go determine the best poster and how I actually one a round or two

The fact that I won a round even though my most known quality at that point was "posting about basically every Notre Dame sports game" retroactively seems impossible.

 

Wish I could find those polls. I think I made it to the Sweet 16 and lost to Raw. I had (have) so much respect for him that I was telling people to vote for him lol. Either way, I couldn't believe I won a couple of rounds - I felt very cool

 

Looks like they start here: http://www.northsidebaseball.com/archive/viewforum.php?f=8&start=650

Championship

CaliforniaRaisin vs. vance_the_cubs_fan - Vance 53%

 

Vance who has since abandoned this board was the champion. I think we should strip his title and give to Raisin since he bailed on us.

 

(note I changed some of the names to current names, but left some old names in there)

Kinda depressing how many names on that list aren't here anymore. Hell, Jon has been gone forever and he was a #1 seed.

I believe the seeds were based purely on post count.

 

As such, here is the hypothetical match-ups of a "there's zero reason to actually do this again" Best Poster Tournament:

 

(1) CaliforniaRaisin vs. (16) Post Count Padder

(1) Sammy Sofa vs. (16) shnsajax

(1) UMFan83 vs. (16) bcl412

(1) Derwood vs. (16) Keener98

 

(2) Banedon vs. (15) The Logan

(2) jersey cubs fan* vs. (15) WrigleyField 22

(2) Fred Hornkohl vs. (15) Laura

(2) David vs. (15) Tracer Bullet

 

(3) Transmogrified Tiger vs. (14) rocket

(3) TruffleShuffle vs. (14) Chris

(3) SouthSideRyan vs. (14) bukie

(3) vance_the_cubs_fan vs. (14) erik316wttn

 

(4) Tim vs. (13) kujay

(4) Stannis vs. (13) Omar

(4) Soul vs. (13) XZero77

(4) Jon vs. (13) dew

 

(5) soccer10k vs. (12) treebird

(5) OleMissCub vs. (12) USSoccer

(5) Ding Dong Johnson vs. (12) minnesotacubfan

(5) Hairyducked Idiot vs. (12) davell

 

(6) rawaction vs. (11) UK

(6) Andy vs. (11) NCCubFan

(6) big ball chunky time vs. (11) Flames24Rulz

(6) Outshined_One vs. (11) abuck1220

 

(7) Butterscup vs. (10) EJ

(7) Brian vs. (10) C.C.

(7) CuseCubFan69 vs. (10) BigBadB

(7) Cubswin11 vs. (10) 17 Seconds

 

(8) Little Slide Rooter vs. (9) Schwarber Fan

(8) Careless vs. (9) goony's evil twin*

(8) ctcf vs. (9) CubinNY

(8) illiniguy vs. (9) Roast

 

*seeds would shake out differently if we add Goony's two accounts together

 

This feels like the "In Memoriam" segment of the Oscars, jesus...

I'd be one win and out again. Truffle's end-of-year photo calendar alone is more than I contribute to this board so he'd justifiably smash me in round 2.

I think Derwood might get out of round 1 with the new bracket

 

Keener hasn't posted here in 11 years but I think he's still got a shot

Speaking of nsbblol, I found an archived version of the site:

 

https://web.archive.org/web/20080603100215/https://nsbblol.wordpress.com/

 

His real blog is still out there, too:

horsefeathering hysterical that the most recent post is about Khalil Greene.

 

I really wish he wasn't banned before Greene fell flat on his face with the Cardinals. His whole schtick was that he was smarter than everyone and knew things about undervalued baseball players that none of us did. After Green finally gets traded to the Cardinals he plays one year there and then never played in the majors again (which I realize was partially due to mental health issues but still)

Little known fact, I won the NIT that year

 

Was wondering where people like you, Mojo, Tim, Laura, etc were in that contest. Did you opt out or something?

I honestly don't remember. I had been posting here for about 3 years, but I really have no memory of this whole bracket (if I posted in any of those threads, I guess my brain is turning to mush). I might have been taking an internet break or something; I was back in school at that point.

I would hope nobody would vote for Keener considering what we know about him off the board.
