A&M has a wide and Internet-savvy fanbase, as well as the support of teams who hate us and Denard such as MSU, OSU, Illinoi (for some reason,) etc.
Looking at the comments, they've also got people who think they're voting for Manziel.

I've asked my friends who went to Illinois and they don't even know why they hate Michigan so much. Their answer was "we just do". I know some of my older friends hate Michigan because of the 1989 basketball season. They are still pissed about losing in the Final Four but as far as football goes there's no comparison so I really don't know why the hate wold be.
Years of domination maybe? I've been to quite a few Michigan games on the road and for whatever reason I would tend to hear more heckling from their fans than some of the other fans with their clever "Muck Fichigan" and "Ann Arbor is a Whore" t-shirts. The best was after we played them in 2007 which was a night game and I think a year or two before that they only had like 2 wins but for whatever reason some of the fans thought Illinois was better. They did go to the Rose Bowl that year but obviously this was before all of that.

At least we get the entire state of Texas who aren't A&M fans who hate A&M.

Who is Ryan Swope?

For the most part, it's a serious question.

The problem is going to be that most Big Ten fans hate us and will vote against Denard, while most SEC fans love Swope and will for vote for him. The gap is closing.

I sent the link to as many friends as I could to vote. Just "shared" the page and it was easy for them to pick Denard. I really hope he wins. I already have the covers with Charles and Desmond. Would love a third cover.

Is Alabama out? I remember someone saying that the winner would be determined by adding the team vote and the individual player vote. Last I checked Alabama was way ahead in the team vote.

lacey and barner were eliminated in the semis.
February 28th, 2013 at 2:22 PM ^
Do people seriously not know who Swope is?

I didn't until this voting, the only story I knew out of A&M was Johnny Football -- and I suspect that's the reason others didn't as well. Just a hunch.

I may only have one MGoBlog account, but I run two business accounts on Facebook along with my personal acount. I've voted for Denard on every one of them.
Go Blue!
