BTN Helmet Bracket Update
I realize many of you really don't care, but I like to see Michigan win everything they compete in.
The BTN is holding a Best Helmet in the Big Ten tournament. Most of us would agree there's little doubt which school should win, but our rivals are doing all they can to prevent us from winning another accolade.
We are in the semi-finals against Iowa. Yesterday we were down at one point 65% to 35%. We have closed the gap. It's now 55% to 45%. I assume if we all vote a couple of times we can even the score.
Here's the Link:

BTW - the winner faces the winner of Indiana vs. Penn State in the Final.
PSU is leading 74% to 26%
Update: Michigan made the finals against Indiana. Here's the link to vote:

25 times. Angry MGoBloggers entertain me more than BTN polls.
A) I downvote all MSU threads.
B) I downvote all threads that belong at MLive.
D) I downvote all threads with shitty titles.
E)
I downvote [Mr. Yost] bi-weekly depth chart posts because I still believe you are Em0 v4.0. However, I don't downvote your comments in said threads.I no longer believe Mr. Yost to be Em0, he might be, but I'm not sure anymoreF) I downvote every single thing posted by Mr. Mario aka McFarlin v123.0
G) I mark every single post by Section 1 as redundant, because I signed an E-Contract with ProfitGoBlue to refrain from responding to him.
H) I downvote any reference to points. I would downvote this post, but the system no longer allows you to do that.
PS - Points and Negs do not actually count anymore. The only useful thing about negs/posbangs is that they cause certain people to freak out, despite being functionally useless for about a year.
AMENDMENTS:I.
I downvote any post by Wolverine318, Wolverine319, ProfessorXWe made up.J. I downvote any use of an asterisk in a swear word.
K. I downvote anyone who signs their own post.
L. I downvote anyone who ends a post with an unnecessary "Go Blue."
M. I downvote anyone who uses "Hmmmm" in the subject of their post.
Mr. Mario was f*****g banned for acting like a Sparty troll (did you hear the news about Kork Coupons and his book LOLOLspartina there so obsessed and their not even a rivel) and all his posts were getting negged. Hope this post gets pos'd baby, points are the coolest thing eva.

-GO BLUE!!!!!
I do miss the days when up/down votes actually mattered. The board was a far better place, as useless posts and threads cropped up far less often for fear by posters of getting negged into Bolivia. (I recognize that my mentioning points, I am going to get negged by you. It's all good - until up/down voting actually returns to having value).
For every neg I get for asterisking a swear word, I get 3 for everytime I don't. "Come on duuuuuude! My 3 year old daughter reads this blog!!!"
I say F**k that and F**k them.
That's a talented girl. My three year old squishes slugs between his fingers while convulsing in laughing fits. I guess it is true that girls mature quicker...
My view has always been that if you want to use a swear word, use the swear word. Don't go half way. Everyone knows what you mean. You're not fooling anyone, even the oh so innocent children.
fuck you. /that guy'd
Favorite dumb comment from the poll: "Michigan's helmets are like Oregon's jerseys, way too loud!" Umm...no. Just no.
I wonder if Oregon has used the same jersey for two years in a row in the last decade.
The fact that Indiana is in the semi-finals pretty much sums up my feelings about this poll.
Everyone should vote for Indiana. Would be nice if they could win something related to football just once.
We don't owe them shit.
I don't have a life, so maybe I can pour a glass of red wine and spend the evening trying to get us above 50%.
I don't need to fill out a new poll every year to tell the world what everyone already knows Michigan is a classic
Welcome to the Blog.
I can't understand why so much love for the ND helmets.... yeah they're golden... wow, still plain and boring.
Agreed. There are a bunch in CFB that look just like them, such as Navy.
- University of Michigan
- University of Delaware
- Alfred State College
Right now it's 50.18% Iowa 49.82% Michigan. It's getting close!
I just spent 40 minutes of my life voting this up 50.02-49.98. It better hold...
I just came back to this thread to mention that:
Michigan is finally over 50%, and
YOU'RE WELCOME!
Winged Helmets now hold a slim 52% to 48% lead over the faux Steelers with a Bird lids.
Vote Early, vote Often. No lead is safe, just ask the Red Wings.
about the poll, Michigan fans as well, and one buddy said he "got busted." Not sure what that means, but I'll try to get clarification. I'm sure he voted no more than any of us did, so not sure why he would get singled out like that. I'll get more details...
Edit: After talking with him, he said he voted about 50 times and the site said he should take a "cooling off" period. I think that if you were to vote several times, keep it to 30 or so, stop, then go back later for another 30. Rinse, repeat...
I just voted, we're up 62.76% to 37.24%. Anyone know when the poll closes?
Also, apparently a lot of people are voting for Indiana just for the fun of it, and they are up on PSU 54.19% to 45.81%.
I know I voted Indiana a few times...I'd rather face them in the finals then PSU.
Seriously. My vote for Indiana had nothing to do with an anti-Penn State vote, but just because of the two helmets, Indiana is actually identifiable as Indiana and not just some generic helmet.
Now if Penn State would remove the stripe and put on a bar code, then I would indeed vote for them as the best helmet of all time.
Polls Closed - Michigan Wins and moves on to face Indiana
No. 1 Michigan 65.54%
No. 2 Iowa 34.46%
No. 4 Indiana 59.22%
No. 3 Penn State 40.78%
NOW GO VOTE IN THE FINALS:

Probably had something to do with after Penn States "voters" (more like bots) got them up to a 90% to 10% lead, they started focusing on making sure the least competitive team, Iowa, was in the final against them. While they went after Michgian, Indiana snuck up and passed them while they were sleeping.
