I've hit 2K - without the scare of Y2K

Pat, can you freak him out and revert him to 1900?

Please no - I haven't put aside any water or anything

[hope1]

Poster number 3 to reach 8K.

Or should the emoticon be  ?

Ypsi, you truly have no life.

I think that we should start another "Who's the best ... ?" room: Best post total per D3 events attended. Chuck, you'd be so far out front that you wouldn't see anyone in your rear-view mirror.

Probably true, though OzJohnnie (and some Florida-based posters) may be gaining on me!

You guys are all crazy... I have less than 100 posts. 

I just came back from recertifying my Wilderness First Responder certification at University of California - Santa Cruz. I didn't get the chance to stop by the bookstore and pick up any banana slug gear, but I do feel like visiting the campus of the most famous/infamous mascot in DIII is SOME kind of an epic attendance milestone nevertheless.

With Pat's 'cleansing of the boards' (deleting massive numbers of posts to keep the system from crashing), I've now fallen way below 8K.  How low will it go?

Alas, the embarassing 'time on line' stat was NOT reduced accordingly.

And he hasn't hit the ASC In-game boards for men's and women's hoops yet!

PONTIAC 6000!

officially, I think I'm 1 post late

Actually you are over 100 posts shy and falling fast!

[Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan)]

Plus you're still well ahead of me (although Sager's coming back to the pack).

Some interesting numbers from the complete NCAA stats about attendance. 

http://www.ncaa.org/wps/ncaa?ContentID=1093

- Only 2 DII teams had higher average attendance than Hope (Northern St. and Morehouse).

- Amoung the 328 DI teams (not counting the provisionals), Hope would have finished 168th.  That equates to 51% of the DI teams having higher attendance than Hope, and 49% lower.
