I just put up a bunch of new votes. We gained a percentage point with about 1,000 votes in the last 10 minutes.

Well so much for keeping the votes low. Fine, SUU wants a fight? We'll give it to them. Let's blow them away and keep going until Friday. They'll never even have a chance!
I have been following all of these threads.......based on the terminology used, time spent, and passion for this contest, I am suprised no one has sent each of our competitors a formal declaration of war.
Keep up the good work!
Keep up the good work!
All right, please forgive me if I made a mistake in my math (math is not my strength), but based on the numbers that I can find, here is what has been happening...
As of Sunday at 7:30 p.m.:
ISU - 86%
SUU - 14%
Total votes - 62,979
As of Monday at 1:45 p.m.:
ISU - 74%
SUU - 26%
Total Votes - 87,684
What that means:
Friday through Sunday (48 hours)
ISU - 1130 votes/hour
SUU - 184 votes/hour
Sunday through Monday (18 hours)
ISU - 596/hour
SUU - 778/hour
What does this mean? We have dropped to half of our previous pace while voters for SUU (and possibly others that want us to lose) have increased their voting by a factor of 4 in the last 18 hours. At a minimum we need to continue voting at the pace we have been for the past hour or so just to stay ahead. If we don't do that, we might find ourselves out of the competition.
I hope that all makes sense (and I hope that I got the math right). Keep voting!

Good research, wolverine. I don't know what's going on, but I'm having trouble voting. I'm using the enter-button method, but I can only get it to work for about 30 seconds per time before I get a time-out message from the CBS server. It seems like there's so much voting going on between the battles that it's bringing their server to its knees. It's not quite crashing, but it wouldn't take too much more for that to happen...
I'm having the same problem (probably because of MSU and Wyoming). But as long as we're having this problem, anyone voting for SUU should be having the same difficulty too...
3,000 more votes in the last hour and we have gained back some of what we lost!
ISU - 75%

I'm beginning to think that winner of this "Tournament" will not be painted in a positive light.

Both schools have been publicizing this pretty hard to the students/faculty, alumni mailing lists, ticketholders, and local and state media. Iowa State has done none of that, except for a pair of emails sent to the students early in the contest. We need to get in contact with the athletic department and let them know that there are people working on this, and that we have a chance to win if we can get more people to help. This has to get out there, or we may not be able to win.
I can't get either of those scores to show up. Even with cookies on, both our fight and theirs lets me keep voting...
Over 700,000 votes now and its a 50-50 tie. It's going to take A LOT of voting to beat either of those teams. But we can do it!
