| Message | for my part I intend to vote very conservatively. Like the MLB Hall i think ours should also be a rather exclusive club. Like the motto says on the UlB page, the hall is for those with a legacy (long term) of statistical greatness. For me that means that the players should have been the equivalent of a 1st or 2nd round pick for several years (5 or more?). To qualify that, however, I agree again with the MLB practice of giving consideration to a player's position. For example Jeter's numbers may pale next to Beltran's but I would consider the SS a fairly certain induction whereas this OF was rarely if ever top 3 in his class. So if i vote no on a lot of the nominations this year don't take it personal.. that's just how i see it. |

| Message | I think a lot of it is going to come down to presentation personally. That being said I don't think there is any one thing that will nail it down for any one player. It's new for everybody so we'll have to figure it out, everyone has there own opinions on players so who knows. I'm sure it will be like most other things in this pool, we just have to get it started and we'll iron out the details as we go. |

| Message | it's really not been determined.. that's the fun part... if two teams square off they'll have to state their cases for what matters most... total stats generated for each team is a big factor for some.. rings are big for some other ppl.. pat already conceeded walkers all-time stat pack as a python to tim's 2 championships and more overall production as a tuffy.. if it's close, get your cue cards ready for public speaking circa grade 5.. |

| Message | Before I put my HOF nominee in I have to get some clerification on this. The first year is going to be hard because we have so many guys. What is the essential quality for a HOF in ULB? Is it a championship with that player, is it years under their teams hat or is it one good year??? I need some clerification before I nominate. I'd like to hear peoples opinions and takes on it... |

| Message | Hey Harold, You are ridiculous. Your banter is the one that is retarded as I did not ask Dan to make a rule change. Again I just said I would send him my picks ahead of time in case I was unable to get them in on time. You are like the ULB version of Rainman. You being the "retard' with incoherent banter and me playing the part of the Tom Cruise type character. Tim I would be interested to hear your schedule but I would love to go head to head with mine anytime. I love the banterboard ![]() |

| Message | With that being said I have to get back to my busy life of eating, sleeping, video games and not forgetting to post my contracts while also remembering to phone Noel to remind him. Let's face it we all need to help Noel cause he's the victim here and we're all assholes. Go Shockers. |
