Place your odds on how many "will RR succeed" posts we will see

Submitted by UMxWolverines on
I'm going to keep track in my signature of how many get posted. Over or under 74 of these posts between now and September 4, 2010?

"How many beers it takes to get Charlie Weis drunk"=The over. Honestly my guess is that you are going to get so sick of counting how many of these dumbass posts (on both side of the fence) that there are over the next year that you will stop counting it. So the real question to me is will you stop counting before you reach the O/U?

By promoting a count of it, you are either promoting it so some will want to see how many they can create, or by emphasizing it, (hopefully) killing the "wonder" of it and in effect throwing water on the fire. I want to say under, but human nature and the "thrill" of coaching "what-ifs" are too much for most to ignore. This will become the blog effect of gawker traffic slow downs.-Some will take a different road for a while.

Can we set an O/U on how many I delete? One of these days, the repetitive threads will lead to an explosion where I start going grammar nazi on everyone to the point it drives some of the less intelligent posting away until football season comes back.

k06em01 will destroy both of these numbers in a matter of days. He is the one we should really be tracking. EDIT: I think he's already put up two new threads since I posted this. The guy is a fucking machine!

Over 340...the number of points we gave up this season. I think there are a lot more stupid people than you think. Plus, there will be tons of them every time a story trickles out about the NCAA investigation. And then if any sanctions come down, there will be a million.

If Brian and his posse don't rein things I'm, I'll predict at least 200 "will RR succeed" posts in the next year. There will be a bunch over the next two months (at least one a day,)it will slow down in Feb. & March (one every other day,) ramp up during Spring practice (one a day,) slow down in May/June (one every other day,) then one a day in July, and two a day in August.That's 240, and we haven't even gotten to September!

When this team is a machine in a couple of year, all the RR haters will be so shamelessly riding on the bandwagon. Now I would never want to discourage anyone who wants to support our team, but nothing is worse than the fair weather fans so in need of instant gratification that when it is not met they lash out against the current coach/program without any examination of the circumstance....These are often the same irrational folk who become the blind "we are going to the national title game" after the 4-0 start. Seriously, they need to chill and learn to enjoy the process, not just the end result.
