Too little too late
Too little too late
Nebraska has made a small dent into our lead as far as absolute votes as well. It's down to about 2.7M. But there is no way they close the rest of the gap in less than a hour.

Every million or so votes
Every million or so votes
Every million or so votes certainly makes my rightious indignation over the Kovacs for best safety in the land vote look oh so childlike and innocent now doesn't it?

That got out of hand pretty quickly, but it was absolutely hilarious to watch.

The lead should hold out

The lead should hold out hopefully.
But if we win it all who gets the copies of the game? They say the winning school will get hundreds.
Quick! To the Hindenpeter!

We got this
We got this
They can't come up with 2 millions votes in 7 minutes. Not worried about FSU, either. They're ND beatdown is inflated by ND's alck of botting. There are only about 2 million total votes in that poll to our 20 million, so I'm confident we can out-bot them.

Well hopefully this is over at noon eastern otherwise we will be in trouble.
This might be arrogant, and if it is, it is, but we're Michigan

UM vs. FSU
Go vote!
I hope we keep the bots caged until FSU fires the first shot. If they do, let's destroy them.

Disqualification?
Disqualification?
There is little chance any sort of disqualification would occur- given the tenuous grasp that most people have on statistics, or numbers in general, whoever is in charge of that poll at ESPN probably won't realize how improbable it is for 20 million people to vote in this poll.

I pretty sure--no,
I pretty sure--no,
I pretty sure--no, certain--that the people at ESPN know the poll was gamed by fans. Voting bots aren't exactly a secret. When you have 6% of the country voting in a meaningless poll about college football traditions and votes coming in at 100,000+ per hour, it doesn't take a genius to figure out what's occurring.

only funny because our bot has a better degree than their bot.

How is walking out a tunnel a tradition?
How is walking out a tunnel a tradition?
Don't the majority of teams do it? Not every teams touches a banner, touches a rock, a sign or follows a mascot across the field. But almost all of them walk out a tunnel.
Michigan fans are not made. They are born!
oh god, this is exactly what's going to happen now.
