Just pointing out that it's not a remotely accurate reflection of the actual fanbase that posts here, I'm not really all that concerned about, but it makes you look small time..

Are you a Weasel? I believe those were the only F-4s in DS.

Kapp,

Don't feel too bad. Look at the bright side. Although MTSU is 8th, they are ahead of fau and fiu......combined!!

I don't feel bad, the poll is ultimately meaningless, I just think it's funny that UAB has dozen of votes from posters who rarely post.

Lighten up Francis. Where are the stipulations? This is what it said.

Lets see how many people are on here from each fanbase.

Select your team in the poll. Mixed allegiances select the team you're closer to.

I guess since I don't post here every day I don't count? 10 post minimum? It just said see how many people are on here. If you want stipulations state them.

A lot of these posters have been on this site since it was created. I think I would find something else to get my panties in a wad over.

If whoever made the poll wants me to kill it say the word. Makes no difference to me.

I'm with ATTALLABLAZE on this one. There are lots of folks who read this board daily but rarely post. Their low post count shouldn't mean anything but the fact they either don't have much to say or don't have the time. I frequent 3 different WKU Boards nearly every day to keep up with the goings on but almost never post on two of them.

You may not post every day, but you average 10+ posts a day. There's a difference between "not posting every day" and averaging less than a post a day since signing up.

I just don't understand stuffing the ballot box.

My post count is not made here. Like many others I don't come on here every day. Get over it. Make a poll yourself and make all the stipulations you want. I promise I won't vote in it. Better yet leave us out. I've read enough whining for one day.

It's not simply a low post, it's that the fan base with the most votes by a significant margin is the only one with a link directing their fans to vote and there's a disproportionate number of infrequent posters in that group.

Some are taking this census a bit too seriously. lol

Where your post count is "made" is irrelevant, you post on this network, be it here or blazertalk 10 times a day and your ballot box stuffers post less than once a day be it here or on blazertalk.

What was the point of stuffing the ballot box?

Lol too seriously.

Started out by merely pointing out the reason for UAB having more than double 12 out of 13 fanbases and not surprisingly some folks got defensive.

I'm not whining, I'm not upset, I just don't understand the need to rally the troops or getting defensive when you're called out.

The point of the census was to guage the active membership of this board, not how many blazer fans can follow a link.

You are correct.

Third possible explanation: the low-count posters on this site are the ones with enough self discipline to contribute only when they have something worthwhile to say. Quality over quantity.

(I explicitly exclude myself from that description. I specialize in meaningless posts.)

FAU and FIU's representation on this board is similar to their basketball attendance numbers....

I am sorry guys, I could not resist! Its all in fun and plus its the off season!

It's the off-season, not surprising. Officially 48 days until my 49ers kickoff their 2nd season but who's counting?

can one of the moderators wipe out my western vote?

i want to vote for uab now.

Basketball?

Never heard of it. Something to do with Peach baskets stuck on a wall and throwing a ball thru them yes?

Never have been a basketball fan because to be honest I just plain suck playing it.
