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..
As a graduate of a military service academy, I'm disappointed in the behavior of the Aggies, a known military feeder school. The other REAL service academies have honor codes. I'm surprised they feel justified in this course of action.
Cheating is cheating. Its a national level spotlight that its now gone very public that they're rigging it. I have a grip. Its completely against the school's ethics. Situation is immaterial.
Lead is officially gone. A&M is now leading :(
the cheating is unbelievable lol
fight fire with fire.. amirite?
Posted this in the other thread:
There's a video showing how the cheat is done. TAMU fans started doing it yesterday when Denard was up 16k. They were absolutely cheating. I was up from 4AM-5AM studying and during that time Swope gained over 1000 votes more than Denard. Those votes happening in the middle of the night are not legit, obviously that's impossible. Don't know how to embed so I'll leave link (embed please?):
Mods, please delete this thread, this screams TWIS waiting to happen...
What I question is where is our support.... 1million fans of Michigan Football on facebook, Tons showing up on here. We NEED more spreading!
Post Vote for Denard on the front page!
Yell around campus!
Tell everyone at Blimpy Burger tomorrow!
Scream at people at work to vote!
Spread the word! We should be ashamed at only 150k (with few cheaters ourselves, cause we are not innocent either honestly)
Yeah man, it doesn't matter. The strength of our fanbase was shown when Denard was winning for weeks when the votes were still legit. However many real people we get to vote now will just be cancelled out by some TAMU fan cheating because they have nothing better to do.
but your avatar of BK and the instructions to "yell" and "scream" with all the exclamation points is cracking me up... Not funny with all the cheaters at TAMU.
Chill people. This is not something that matters.
EA will decide whether they want to keep it one vote based on who they think will sell more games on the cover (if they even have a strong preference). If anything, being dedicated enough to cheat might make them more inclined to accept the vote despite not following the "rules."
Seems like it's time to get EA invovled.
We can play dirty too, do what the instructional video says and Denard can still win. HURRY and stop moping do something people.
Screw that. I want Denard to win, but I don't want to act like a catty high school girl and cheat in a popularity contest.
Second in EA Sports voting, but first in our hearts...
Fast, white WR or blazing, black, dreaded QB/RB/WR wearing an iconic helmet with his laces untied. If they cheat and win - whatever, that's just a bad decision in my opinion. Anyone who pays even a small amount of attention to college football knows Denard just by first name. This other cat is a nobody.
Nobody really should, this isn't worth getting worked up over.
Actually, IMO, it is. They sell hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of copies of this game every year and ends up in kid's rooms around the country. This is the ultimate form of free advertising for the University, and more importantly, the football program.
Yeah, I'm sure neither Alabama nor Oregon supporters would have attempted to rock (cheat) the vote.
This is totally a SEC v BIGTEN battle morphing onto facebook. They are oversigning votes and doing it with SPEED, while we are voting at an honorable 1 vote for 1 person and doing it at a slower, steady pace. I think we should enlist the help of the texaslonghorn fanbase. I'm sure they'd be willing to help..

Apparently it's the fastest way to cheat the facebook poll, and it's what they've been doing since 2-26-13
It's more than that. On texags.com, there is evidence of the use of macros.

TAMU's cheating has gotten them a ridiculous 40,000 "votes" in two hours. Denard's only hope is that EA is aware of the cheating and realizes that he was 10,000 votes ahead of TAMU before it started. But I wouldn't hold my breath.
When they say "The South will rise again" they mean to be tools of EA Sports FB page. I wouldn't be surprised if EA was doing this themselves just to keep people talking about this for one more day.
This contest has become a complete joke. Anyone who has taken Stats 101 can see that the vote has become extremely skewed in a way that is only explainable by manipulation. EA should void all votes from fan pages and award Denard the cover, but they probably won't given the fact that they are a shit company that has been cranking out the same shitty game for a decade. I feel sorry for people who still buy their crap.
exactly. I only buy the game once per game system. The online play is so buggy and slow.
We shouldn't try to outcheat TAMU. Better to let their guy win and blast EA with tweets and e-mails that we refuse to purchase a sports game with a cover that personifies cheating.
I agree that we shouldn't cheat. But you think EA cares about tweets and emails pointing out the cheating? They just want attention, and from their perspective controversy over the cover selection is probably better than a clean win for either player.
Let Swope win. Just gives me more reason to save $60
Save your money and buy Fifa or NHL.
So, we should "punish" EA Sports by . . . giving them money in other ways?
Anyone with a good working knowledge of the dangers of online voting might've predicted how Denard Robinson's 16,000 vote lead over Ryan Swope could quickly evaporate in less than 24 hours and eventually turn into a landslide victory for Swope. The Takeaway: This may become evidence when Congress next considers changes in voting methods for political elections. EA Sports: It Rigged The Game!
I believe their FB password is "12345"

That's amazing, I've got the same combination on my luggage.
