Denard LOSING EA Sports vote
Here is what TAM is doing..
going to https://www.facebook.com/pages/create.php and creating a phony Community page.
Then go to https://www.facebook.com/easportsncaafootball?fref=ts and go to the settings icon in the top right and switch to the new account and vote. You could vote 100s of times from one single fbook account. When creating the community page you dont even need to put any of the info in or click skip.. just type in a name and create the page..
who's no longer playing college football? Sure, having Swope be a candidate is ridiculous, given all the other much higher profile players across the country, but I would think they'd want a guy who's going to be playing college ball next season.
That's against the NCAA's rules.
The courts say the players have to be paid for their likeness and NCAA rules say that a current player can't be paid. Therefore, you have to get a player who is no longer playing.
This blows because Denard is a million times more deserving to be on the cover. I literally did not know who Ryan Swope was before this contest.
Up 300 now!! Doesnt hurt that Woodson posted on FB to vote for Denard
Why do other schools want to antagonize our computer guys?
Doesn't anyone else remember the ESPN poll where the Mgobotnet reached Skynet proportions with their ballot-stuffing?
For those savvy enough to create these macros, do whatever it takes to take this home. There's no violation of NCAA rules here people...there's a reason Denard lost a 16000 vote lead over night, TAM was doing the exact same thing.
We clearly have the smarter engineers no? GO!
Shhhhh.....don't tell Denard. He's too good of a person and doesn't want us cheating. I already promised not to call him about it, so we're all good. But if this is a dream of his from his childhood, I think we owe it to him for all the great memories he has given us.
and let them know what;s going on. If they just look at the voting results starting last night it will be obvious there is cheating.
If we can get 100 tweets and emails and keep it up for a couple days they will notice. We should also tweet a link to the A&M cheating video. I'm at work so can't do anything now.
But if someone can get the ball running that would be great...
Nobody fucks with the e-prowess of the University of Michigan.
EA wins with this, because of the interest in "voting." It just doesn't matter that much to me.
But beyond that, I hate the argument, "if they're cheating, then we'll cheat and beat them at their own game." Don't do that.
Take the high road, folks. We're better than them.
Seeing as Denard has shot back into the lead, I doubt everyone agrees with your mentality.
I agree EA wins on the attention end of things.
That said, once the rampant cheating gets involved then it morphs from a one click/one vote scenario to a competition between the computer savvy at both schools and the relative enthusiasm of those individuals to control the vote and, ultimately, the narrative.
While I don't necessarily support cheating in most endeavors I look the other way when, on rare occasion, a Michigan lineman holds.
I see this more or less the same way...when TAM involved the cheating at a computer science level they started tugging on superman's cape....ask ESPN.
Denard up by 400+ now. And increasing...
Clearly TAM was messing with the wrong guys on this one...
(credit the lolbrary.com)
and A&M has already mastered the art of the cheat
need to let EA know this is happening
on facebook and on twitter
What's the count now? FB blocked where I work...
As of 10:45 AM Eastern time...Denard up 520
...wait, but I'm Central time zone. What's the conversion factor?
Me too...I am stuck in Bucky Country
10:50 AM EST
Denard: 163,002
The other guy: 162,491
it is time to fight fire with fire. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I like Denard's classy tweet to not create fake profiles, but there is no way he can win without fake accounts to make up for what the asshole A&M fans have been doing. I don't use Facebook because I hate it, but used the wife's account to vote. I also created two bogus accounts to vote for Denard.
these A & M fans trying to justify it now !
Im getting sick of seeing Vote, Vote Vote all the time. When does it end?
currently 162,962 denard
162,458 for swope
I can't believe we were losing to this:
Another Michigan Man on the Cover!! Go Blue!!
| Time | 11:10 AM |
| DR | 164,441 |
| RS | 163,627 |
| Difference | 814 |
Only thing that sucks about this is that the tally literally changes every second. I'm going to be monitoring this thing all day and night.
| Time | 11:14 AM |
| DR | 164,866 |
| RS | 163,823 |
| Difference | 1,043 |
Denard's lead is increasing rapidly, now over 1,000.
Anyone know what the actual end time of the vote is today? All I have seen is that it ends on March 8th but not at what time it ends. Hopefully sooner than later given the current vote results.
The EA web site says "through March 8" so I am assuming they mean voting ends at midnight.
Midnight EST.
Way too much time left! Was hoping it was during the day some time.
Gotta keep those votes going!
We are aware of the voting irregularities around the #NCAACoverVote. We are in touch with the schools involved in the final round voting...

too late.
TAM probably ran that game through the first three rounds (or whatever it was)
