You can vote for Denard in two ways both of which count toward the total.

AND Vote here by selecting Michigan in the poll: http://www.facebook.com/questions/10151359024297280/
Voting ends on February 18th. The two vote numbers of the above will be combined to determine the winner. Currently, Denard trails Eddie Lacy by about 13k votes.
So is there another round after this, or not? There's no way for Denard to catch up with Lacy at this point. Bama keeps increasing its lead over Michigan. If there's another round, I think we can pull it off, because enough people would rather Denard than Lacy, I think.
It's my understanding that this is the final round so it's now or never.
Michigan football's facebook page has over 1 million likes. Combine that with the mgoblog effect and I don't think the 13k vote lead is insurmountable. We definitely need to kick it up a notch though. The team vote is what is killing us. Denard leads the player vote by about 3k.
Has the Michigan football page been promoting it? Or on Twitter? I don't doubt that there are enough Michigan fans out there to beat Bama, but I don't think MGoBlog can do it alone. It needs to come from the more official channels who have far wider reach than this forum.
They've been pushing it somewhat on Michigan football's official facebook page with a post every few days as reminders but that's they only place I've seen it.
Actually there is one more round. The next round begains feb 18.

this is kind of odd.. why would the cover feature a player not even in the game? Having said that, I want him on the cover.
