PrintI've said this before, but I'll say it again: the tech guys at SB Nation are pretty damn smart. They do stuff regular Joes like me either can't do or don't want to do.
Whether this falls under the "can't do" or the "won't do" category, it doesn't really matter because it's pretty cool. But the tech guys decided to tally some year-end stats for each blog on the network for various areas, including comments, story totals, etc.
Here's what was ranked:
- Most active commenters
- Most stories
- Most FanPosts
- Most FanShots
Care to give a prediction on which user leads at each category? The answers, plus a few more totals, will be presented after the jump.

I would actually like that commenter list as a batting lineup. BS.UF at the top of the lineup with some speed. Ben Buchanan in the two hole to get on base. Big hitter Drugs Delaney in the three spot. Then we've got the old-timing DH in Gizmo. It's a good lineup from top to bottom.
I'd like to throw out a challenge: if anyone can knock off BS.UF off his crown for 2010, you will receive a prize from me. Of course, if he tops out as OTM's biggest commenter next year, he'll get a prize too, but right now the bounty is on his head. So once again, whoever leads OTM in 2010 in number of comments will win a prize directly from this guy. I promise it'll be worth the while.
And I also challenge people to knock me off my FanShot title. Do I have any takers?

Very cool.
I don’t do game threads, so I knew there would be know way I’d be even close to making the comment list.
But I am two FanShots above the guy pimping his own website! That’s somethin’!!

Oh, and I'm assuming...
…that “Ben Buchanan’s” info was coupled with “USG’s”

Anyhow, BS.UF has just 100 less comments than commenters 2 thru 5 combined.

Where is that young fellow? I have not seen any posts from him recently, but maybe I just missed them.

Hey Randy
Is there a way to check Rec’d comments? That could be interesting.
Introducing the new 2008 Big 12 Football Champions: OU, UT*, TT*, and MU*!
Now Introducing the new 2009 Big 12 Baseball Tournament Champions: UT, KSU*, BU*, and MU*!
Yes, there is.
But you have to be an editor. And apparently you can’t check your own. I can tell you how many you have.

Dude, you need to tell me.
Where does this “on da hop” stuff come from?
Galactus does as he pleases. Because Galactus is drunk.
I have a five-tool player in my pants.
A Quick Story:
At a baseball game, it was a critical bases-loaded 9th inning…. tense situation, etc….
Their team’s batter hit a wicked diving liner between short and third and our school’s shortstop made an impressive play on the ball “on the hop” so the baseball team, then all sports teams and a lot of guys…….well you know high school kids, that became a much over used phrase to signify any significant accomplishment for high school guys…..
(sports, girls, grades, etc…)
A quite meaningless phrase that I haven’t used in a while and will eventually let subside.

Damn, I almost hit 21000.
I’m pretty much not going to be on for a long time because of school. Over the summer I might have a Papi-like resurgence, but until then, hasta la vista.
PS: I will check in periodically, most likely to search for Jed-bashing comments. Y’all are warned.

I'm also #5 on the Pats site.
I’m not sure if that says something about how I spend my time, or if I’m just really invested in my teams.
Probably an unfortunate mixture.

Wait- if the commenter list was a batting lineup, wouldn’t it have just the top 9? Or is Buzzy the first guy off the bench, or maybe the starting pitcher?

Dangit.
I finished just out of the money on two different categories!
I’ll just have to try harder this year, I guess . . . although I know I won’t be able to make nearly as many game threads this year. . . .
I like the 7-spot.
It means I’m only mildly obsessed.
