Still hanging in at number 7.  Can we pass Pitt?  Vote today!

[talksalot]

Still at #7... and I just voted ... MORE !!  (ps, passing a Pit can be painful... passing a PITT can be wonderful!)

[bbtds]

In places like Indy a Pitt pass is a great thing!

[agibson]

Still in 7th.  Be sure to vote today!

[vu72]

Just voted, still in 7th.  Don't forget about voting for "The Shot"!

[valpopal]

Congrats to the student section for another enthusiastic showing at the Milwaukee game!

[bbtds]

Beautiful new splash page on ValpoAthletics urging fans to vote for both "The Shot" and "The Valparaizone" in their respective contests.

Just voted... and we're STILL #7... Lets Go Folks!  It's groundhog day... I wonder if we can vote over and over again?

[govalpogo]

We've moved into 6th place!  The first round ends on Weds.  Let's get to the top 5 for good measure!

[agibson]

Woo-hoo!  Sixth place!  Can we pass the Bulldog on the Horizon?  (And then there are other Hoosiers looming...)

                                                   Bubble teams: UNLV +4, BYU -5, Boise-5,

St. Bonaventure has been going nuts over the last week or so.  The biggest losers have all fallen from the top 16: Florida, BYU, and Boise St. The top 4 have been pretty well set since the beginning of this thing, with a push, I think Valpo could break the top 5 by round 2 though.

We now have the Pitt Pass, time to get Ziggy on the Zags.

Actually, lets Ram the Valparaizone all the way to the top & take VCU. If we have gotten this far we can go all the way to the top.

[talksalot]

Historyman... Well Spoke-ane.   Just voted, we are at #6... wonder what Bonnie did.... thats the team that now scares me, if they are doing some really heavy marketing to their alumni.

Yes, St. Bonnie may snatch our momentum and not leave us a Coeur d'Alene on.

Still 6th.  Vote today!

and the bonnies are still charging hard, up to 8th. i wonder if we've appealed to our fan base the same way they have...

[Kyle321n]

Just voted again and we're still at 6th but the Bonnies are up to 7th.

[HC]

Got my 2 votes in, vote early vote often!

[historyman]

Let's Venture out and show that team from Olean that Valparaizone is a Bonnie-fied contender. That should zig the Zags and lead to some intra-state passing. 

[covufan]

Got my 2 votes in, vote early vote often!

Like a good Chicagoan!

[talksalot]

Got both of my votes... and my wifes!  Bonnies still behind us!..

if you want to see their marketing scheme:    http://gobonnies.sbu.edu/sports/m-baskbl/index   look who they play on Wednesday night at Hinkle.... might explain their surge...

[valpospartan]

Percentage of overall attendees in the student section is not so easy compared to big schools.  Kansas' student section is 2500-3000 out of 16,300.  Iowa State has a very high ratio too.  My guess is that Duke is very high since their seating is only about 9000.

The Izzone at Michigan State consists of 3000, or 20% of the total number of seats, and it is ALWAYS 100% used, and there is a waiting list.  A feature, for which I applaud the University, is that most of the izzone seats are in what is considered prime locations.

[vuweathernerd]

still sitting at number 6, and holding off the hard-charging bonnies, lurking one spot behind us.

[talksalot]

Voted this morning ... good way to start the day... Voting Ends TOMORROW in Round 1... so... Keep Voting !!

See everyone tonight at the game that matters.

[govalpogo]

Vote and share!  By the way, when you vote for "the shot," if you close your voting tab (after voting) and come back to the link on this page, then you can vote multiple times.  I've been voting about 20x a day for Bryce!
