Vote for Valpo !!

[Smj]

uhh...   I voted about 200 times today with an app that I programmed this morning.    I thought it would be enough ....  which tells me someone else did the same thing for Meyers.

[Smj]

I will run the app for Tevonn - anyone know when the voting is over?

[jloose128]

Voting runs until next Sunday at 8pm ET, and Tevon has 94.19% early, so I (hopefully) don't think we're going to need to crank out hundreds of votes for this one, but it doesn't hurt.

[agibson]

Alec had at least 1400 before they turned the display off, when he was at 58%.  So, figure ~4k votes in this race, at least.  Maybe 5k or more.  Which makes it all the more surprising the final tally could be so close

It wouldn't surprise me if some of the others had a hundred votes, or less.  As mentioned, UMES has been here before.

Paris Bass who has a good chance to win Freshman Player of the Year for the HL is getting crushed by Eric Paschall. 

[Kyle321n]

When I voted it was Tevonn Walker - 93.88%

Nice job voting

I just voted for the St. Mary's player against Myers.  What a joke that someone from UMES beat out Alec Peters, from a legitimate basketball team...

It's not a bad idea...

I mean, admittedly, this isn't a contest about the relative skills or merits of the players.  It's a contest about the passion, organization, and wherewithal of the fan base.  And a contest with ill-defined rules.

[FWalum]

I think someone from UMES must have researched  something like this

Third one down.   

[a3uge]

I can't even find a message board for them. I'm convinced it was Grizz, staying up on his computer all night voting, unplugging his computer in between each vote.

Cute.  It does seem like there should be _some_ rules.  Or that you should at least be required to write the hack yourself

They were organizing the old fashioned way, to some extent.  Twitter, newspapers.  Maybe in-game announcements.

Who knows, many of their votes might have come one click, one user, at a time.  (But I sort of doubt that was the lion's share, any more than it was for us.)

[agibson]

Tevonn's north of 95%.

I helped St. Mary's guy get up past 38%, but Austin Powers has a lot of votes...

[bbtds]

Tevonn is up to 96%. I've probably added 200 votes or so in the last three days.

THE GRASS ROOTS- "WHERE WERE YOU WHEN I NEEDED YOU"

[agibson]

Tevonn's still cruising.  Someone will toss in 50 votes for the other guy sometimes, but he's still below 4%.

Austin Powers has been quiet.  Mysteriously quiet. They are still playing basketball... (quite a tournament week calendar planned; Gladys Knight!)  St. Mary's guy has a slight lead - but I'm sure UMES will kick it into gear at some point.

How's that Shot contest going?

[agibson]

Their technology seems to be improving!  I got a message:
"We have received too many votes from you. You will be unblocked after a cooling off period. "
after pushing St. Mary's guy back above Austin Powers.

[agibson]

Powers picked up a big slug of votes.  It'll take some work (or, I suppose, some software) to put St. Mary's back on top.  And probably a solid effort if/when they hide the results.

[agibson]

Powers got a crush of votes, many Sunday, to put him up to what seemed like an insurmountable 65%.  Next up for him is a cat from Northwestern St. not sure if he'll be much of a challenge.

More importantly, Tevonn breezed through and is up against a certain Tayler Persons, from Northern Kentucky (the Norse?!) in the round of 16.

The Noresman doesn't seem to have any votes yet, but I figure we'd better give Tevonn a thousand or so, at least.

Apart from the most enthused fan bases, I wonder if this contest's going to run out of steam as teams are eliminated.

[talksalot]

Just voted... Tevonn has 74%... just looked again.. now 75.79%  it's magic.
   

[bbtds]

When I voted just now Tevonn's % was going down as of 7:15 p.m. EDT

Some Persons are Taylering their votes to help his opposition.

[talksalot]

68.16% right now... VOTE Vote vote...and share the link on FB and Instagram!

[bbtds]

I just now noticed after voting for about a week that the picture at the top of the College Court Report website for voting for mid-major Freshman of the year is of the Northern Kentucky Norse' Bank of Kentucky Center. The game in the pic shows the facility about 1/8 full. It seats 9,400.

Do we need another almost empty arena in our conference?

Tevonn up to 73.54 as of 10:37 a.m. EDT

[vu72]

73.72 after my vote!

[historyman]

As a reminder if you would like to vote multiple times for Tevonn here is how to do that.

Right click on the web address above. Click on "Open link in incognito window"

Then vote for Tevonn in the usual way. Then click the website closed. Then repeat as many times as the website allows. When the website message is "Thank you, we have already counted your vote." you can then stop voting. You can go back after a few minutes and keep voting if you are so inclined.
