Sportsnation Tradition Poll Final Reminder
The Sportsnation Tradition Poll Final on Facebook has been running for a few days but has gotten very little attention until recently. The Sportsnation Facebook page put it on the mainpage again and the MFFF (Michigan Football Facebook Fanpage) finally posted about it this afternoon but the vote tally is still only around 20,000. With the voting so low it's anybodies to win, though FSU currently leads 61% to 39%. I for one would hate to see FSU win another tradition poll Michigan clearly should win after the Best Helmet fiasco. VBOD!

I still think that a live animal running out of the the tunnel is cooler than jumping and touching a banner.
SHUN THE NON-BELIEVER!!!!
They copied their chant from the Braves (I wonder how native americans feel about this.)
"Max Osceola, the chief and general council president of the Seminole Tribe of Florida, has stated that he regards it as an “honor” to be associated with the university"

I'm a Nole fan and graduate and created an account just to reply to you, not to do any trolling. We actually didn't steal it from the Braves. The Warchant was started at FSU during the 60's, but really took off after playing Auburn in 1984. The reason the Braves use it is because Deion Sanders brought it to Atlanta when he played baseball there. The Kansas City Chiefs also borrowed the chant from FSU. And as it was pointed out, the University has the full blessing of the Seminole Tribe of FL. It's one of the reasons the NCAA backed off and left FSU alone when they went after schools for using indian names/logos.
As for the poll, regardless of who wins, at least it will be an authentic vote and the results won't be marred by the rampant use of bots that caused it to be moved off the ESPN site in the first place.
This was very informative, thanks. Feel free to post here whenever you see fit. For the record, your pregame entrance is absolutely amazing.
I'd it involved Burt Reynolds and his sexy sexy mustache in any way, but no Burt, no vote.
<br>
<br>/homo for mustache only
Thats, just like your opinion, man.
It may be cooler, but 1) it's a useless internet poll, so it makes no sense for you to vote against your university, and 2) it's a contest of best tradition, not coolest entrance. The banner has more tradition than FSU.
The way I understood the contest was that it was a competition between the tradition of touching the MGoBanner vs the tradition of Chief Whatshisname and his Sweet Horse. If it was overall tradition, it would be no contest.
Is 100% more awesome because you capitalized That Horse
Sweet Horse
As a lifelong Wolverines fan, there is no way that I can support this. I hope you tear your ACL! What kind of parents do you have?
/s
We didn't want him as as fan anyway.
yes we did
You Fake ass wolverine.
Everybody murders people, robs people, votes for other schools in polls against us.
whats so great about those goddamn indian bastard farmers, why dont they go lick some more dirt or some shit... and hell the only thing a sasquatch is, is proof that those darkies had sex with a bear.
we're getting smoked by about 5,000 votes. I don't like this facebook voting method.
600,000 Facebook fans. If 1/10th of the active fans vote we win by a landslide, but MODS on our Fanpage only just put up a post about it today around noon.
Hmmm Where can we post this to get more votes? I'll probably share it on some michigan groups on facebook.
I voted for the Maize and Blue but my wife is from Florida and a FSU fan! I didn't tell her about the vote! Ha
Don't tell her, sign on under her name and vote for UM!!!
just posted the poll again and the poll went from 62-38 to 58-42 in 15 minutes. :) Stand and be counted Michigan!
Facebook sucks for these things. I just want to anonymously vote for Michigan, not join 15 groups, reconnect with someone I went to middle school with, and help someone grow their crops.
I don't think you need to sign up for that app anymore. I think it a legit vote with one of those codes.
We have caught up in percentage 57-43 but still down by about 4,000 votes. Now I don't know how to vote multiple times. Anyone know?
Go to the homepage and on the left you'll see the Fanappz icon with the rest of the apps. Click to the left of it, on the "x" and you should be able to delete it. Then get back to it and vote again. Just rinse and repeat.
Does that still work even with typing in the code?
and get the word out. It's alot more effective to get the 600,000 FB fans to vote individually than it is for 1 person to vote multiple times.
I voted for FSU, just ask yourselves: is Michigan even on the same tier as FSU? The obvious answer to that question is it's not even close. FSU is actually favored to win something in the near future and what is Michigan favored to do? Absolutely nothing.
We're favored to make degenerates like you sign up for an account on one of our team's blogs just to try and get a rise out of people. Must be rough to feel your program's power slipping through your fingers, reaching for hate to replace it.
<br>What's next from you...I'll venture a guess:
<br>-Angry wishes to the kids in our recruiting class
<br>-Spewing garbage to attempt to tarnish the reputation of our fan base
<br>-Pretending your school "never wanted" any of our recruits anyways, "bro"
<br>-Satisfaction that people like me waste our time responding to you
<br>I could go on and on, the bottom line is you're all the same. In the words of Darius Morris, GTFO my blog
now that the banhammer has fallen. +1
I ask all Wolverines to log in and vote for Meeechigan!
