A post from Shockernet concerning the first round match up:

"Well at this point it would seem imperative to find a way for ISU to get beat. They are managing to hold off Marty's best effort and would provide a stern challenge for us in the sweet 16.

Marty is your program shareable? I have a couple of towers going unused at this point.
"

Well that explains our first round struggles...

Since when is a couple of stems of wheat inanimate?

Wow, someone sure is an idiot.

Marty is your program shareable? I have a couple of towers going unused at this point. Sure, it's shareable, but I don't want to post it so other schools don't steal my idea... I'll send you a PM

Hmm.... now we know who really set that script up...

Well, I have a feeling that they're now going to just run that "program" to vote for us to try and get us DQ'd as well.

I sure hope not.

Maybe we can e-mail CBS webmaster about this to let them know pre-emptively, which would help us from not getting DQ'd in case they do try this??

It'd be worth a shot. I mean, send them that thread link, especially that last page, let them know we think they may try something to get us DQ'd, and see what they say.

If somebody's gonna do that, they better get on it quick. Our vote totals are getting pretty high, and it's not cool to have CBS questioning.

heh if they're using their program maybe we should cease voting until things get straightened out... not like we're losing right now or anything

CBS found out that there was a program attacking their Java script poll, and i guess somehow they tracked it directly to them as they were DQed.. us on the other hand... did not use any harmful programs to vote.. just man power

I don't mean to rain on anyone's parade but why do you feel voting multiple times is any less illegal than using a script? Any if manpower is your reason, why do you feel this is worth that much manpower?

From the Shockernet:

I've noticed there are 1 or 2 other schools that seem to be getting a lot of votes also, maybe I can save us some headache later by helping their opponents right now....

I took one computer voting last night to put WSU up 3000 votes....I have 4 computers sitting here in my office doing nothing, might as well put them to work doing something.

See if you can knock out Iowa State.

Most head-to-heads have 2-3k votes.

They've got 11k

It was a moose!
