I got 17 out of 60 within two places, including shotglass (who I almost had spot-on all across the board) and TheSportsPredictor (ironically).

Showing how volume has picked up this past year, TSP had to post 1,142 more times to meet his projected place.

Looking at the actual posts compared to the projected posts tells the tale. A bunch of people didn’t post as much in 2007, while others really stepped up their game — including Angola, who was somewhere around 250th at the start of last year.

I realize posting these projections skews the stats like the Heisenberg uncertainty principle — you alter the results by observing them. But it’s interesting — and a great time waste.

This year, in the next few days, I will do a proper Hot 100 and will have more accurate data with which to do a projection.

ADD: And yes, Angola will be on it.

Yes! Mission accomplished. Of course, I won't have as much reason to post this year as I did last.

Woo hoo! I'm number 275!

That puts me on par with Valdostia State in the FBS standings! Of course, there's no such thing as Valdostia State. But I digress.

Onward to the top 200!

Relish this moment.
If I could be back at 900 posts it would be nice, then I would never have to hear about a certain something and you wouldn't be locked into posting a certain way.

that prediction reeks of fail.

OK, so I am in 32nd right now.

When you started the thread I was in at least 150th based on this post: http://www.sportsjournalists.com/forum/posts/961105/

Though my first post on that thread came about 27 hours earlier, so it is possible I was in the 160 range at that point: http://www.sportsjournalists.com/forum/posts/959008/

Oh shit ... I exceeded expectations even with a five-month sabbatical.

That doesn't surprise me. Your posting habits are worse/better than mine.
