BTN Uniform Poll
It seems BTN is having a football uniform bracket, where users get to vote which Big 10 team has the best uniform. While the idea is incredibly original (a bracket style voting contest in March!) we have been given a 1 seed and are currently up against 6 seed MSU. Right now, we are actually losing 47-53, which is completely unacceptable. MGoCommunity, time to vote and smack lil' brother down.

Unleash the bots!!
(I just voted and M is now up 54-46)
The team that gets the most votes in this round automatically gets into the championship. Crush our enemies and hear the lamentation of their women!
I'm not complaining when I say this because these polls are meaningless, but I always get the feeling that Michigan has an uphill battle because both MSU and OSU fans will always vote against Michigan. Plus I'm sure Illinois, PSU and potentially other schools vote more heavily for the team going against Michigan.
I saw the same thing in ESPNs B1G poll about best teams for the past 15 years. '97 Michigan vs '05 PSU was much closer than it should have been considering '05 Michigan beat '05 PSU. And the PSU fans are still peeved about those 2 seconds, and have forgotten about their own 2 seconds.
Any negativity that we get from other fans hating MIchigan is pretty much made up for by the fact that we have more living alumni than almost any other school. At one poine I know we had the most but I don't know if that is still true.
Having more people to vote gives us an inherent advantage in any poll. Especially when a large chunk of our alumni are people who use the internet a ton.

The fact that Illinois (!) upset OSU in this poll suggests that the negative voting can go in both directions.
that they poll is going on while their bball team is playing, implying that ppl are going to be too busy watching the game to vote for that poll. Yet he has the time to complain about it in a message board post? Does not compute.
We are sitting home on our couch so that we can could end up with a bid to the final.
They do this every year. If not ESPN, then Sports Illustrated or BTN. It's never different.
We're up 69-31 now. I'm guessing this poll had about 50 votes when we all started voting
We are up to 73 %
75-25 now. Hail yes.
keep voting make it 90-10.
We just had to give lil bro hope early.
Michigan will win but not even soarty fans can say they have a better uniform than Michigan. Thats why on ESPN page 2 Michigan football had the best uniform in ALL of sports and BTN made Michigan the 1 seed.
The poll may be meaningless but the world knows when those maize and blue jerseys get on the field its like heaven to our eyes.
And I am perhaps venturing into Bolivia with this comment, but I kind of like their uniforms with the darker green. Probably one of the nicer uniforms in the conference.
some sort of disease of the eyes where their ugly ass green "jersey" doesn't look like complete garbage to you.
79 - 21
voting irregularity has been rectified...good work by all
Does this really need to be put to vote? This is like voting on whether or not water is wet.
Don't know about you guys, but I had Penn State vs. Michigan in the championship, and I think I'm in pretty good shape.
