I think mostly from BoB has no RL they can play 23/7. I'm sad that so much Players forgot the RL only for a Game.
Why does it always come back to personal attacks like this? Without having access to stats I can't be sure, but I'm willing to bet good money that BoB has about the same number of students with loads of free time that other major alliances have.
Obviously some people take the game more seriously than others. Some have a lot of free time, others are not that lucky or simply choose to spend parts of their free time doing other things. This is true for all groups of players. We have all types of players from people with very time-consuming jobs who only rarely log on to those who have a lot of free time and can afford to spend a lot of time playing EVE. Claiming that "mostly from BoB has no real life [sic]" is both untrue and unnecessary.

Can we get a break down on corp/alliance kills?
Those numbers are actually quite useless. It has been explained a couple of times before, but the more you break those killmails down the more inaccurate the stats become.
Suppose each BoB corp had their own killboard, and suppose that you were blown up by a gang consisting of RKK/DICE/EVOL/BNC. Each corp killboard would contain your kill, so if you add the numbers to get alliance-wide stats your death will end up being counted as four separate kills.
You may remember that during the BoB / ASCN war one ASCN corp in particular was doing this, they'd post their stats and state that they were but one corp, and since ASCN at that point had x corps surely the total kills must be x times their kill number. I'm sure you can see how this makes little sense.
I guess what you could do is dig through the boards and count final blows only, that sounds like a lot of work though.
Edit: on second thought, I may have misunderstood you, did you mean a breakdown of the coalition deaths by corp and alliance?

Seriously... has anyone EVER seen killboard stats posted that looked disfavorable for the person posting them? Yeah, didn't think so.
Actually I have, see this post for reference.
But you are correct that generally killboard stats are mostly in favor (read: more than 50% efficiency or a something-greater-than-one to 1 ratio) of the entity the killboard belongs to. Obviously they become more and more diluted the higher the number of participants in any given conflict, but they do give you a general idea of how much ISK went down the drain in said conflict.
