They said they used computer rankings to help with seeding.  I do not see much of that.

If somebody keeps their objective criteria secret, they aren't using objective criteria.

That's...  not really true.  If someone keeps their objective criteria secret, it gives external observers reason to believe they might not be using objective critieria, but it doesn't mean they're not objective.  Here, this list of names is ranked using objective criteria:

Jeff Hopkins '82
ugarte
phillysportsfan
RichH
billhoward
kingpin248
flyersgolf
Josh '99
towerroad
Trotsky

The fact that you don't know what the criteria are (though I would imagine it's not a difficult code to crack) doesn't mean they weren't objective.

In this case, guessing is far more entertaining than knowing.

Yeah, that and speculating why Kyle didn't make the list. ;-)

Kyle would have been last in the list and Josh didn't want to pick any fights. And he wanted Greg to be last.

Greg being last in a list that I created to dispute a point he made was really just a coincidence.

IQ? Looks? Girth? Posts? Snarky posts? Semesters to graduate?

IQ? Looks? Girth? Posts? Snarky posts? Semesters to graduate?

Many of those are subjective, and I would have no way of accurately judging any of them except for post count.

I object!

Tickets available at this link.  According to the U-MD ticket office, "All seating in the bowl area is general admission.  Typically, the visiting team fans will just congregate in an area behind the visiting team bench area."

What's objective about that? You chose to use the Roman alphabet instead of Hebrew, Hangul, Aramaic, or any of the rest. What were your objective criteria for choosing this particular alphabet? Huh?

So, you couldn't be objective enough with 1 post?
