[NuttinItUp]

Here it is, the final one for the national championship of the Most Dominant Mascot contest. We are outmanned and outgunned, but stranger upsets have happened.

1) Email your friends
2) Post other places than here (I am not a member of any other boards) and tell anyone else you know
3) Vote as many times as you can (Block your cookies, then vote tons of times. Step by step instructions on how to do this are below in this post)

Facebook group for anyone interested: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=2370339609

Voting ends June 1. (Friday)

[Silver Hog]

Losing 30/70 for now, but only at 114 votes.

Here are all the posts on how to vote multiple times from the last round:

Since the Michigan State people are obviously the pros (look at their vote total) I went to their board for some tips.

Here is their thread on the previous rounds:
http://www.spartantailgate.com/forums/showthread.php?t=250289

They have lots of good suggestions, like
Blocking cookies, so you don't have to clear anything between votes

Also, "If you want to do one better, hold down CTRL and then click multiple times. It'll open up a window for every click. Those are all counted as votes."

Also, "If you want to do one better, hold down CTRL and then click multiple times. It'll open up a window for every click. Those are all counted as votes."

Here are the step by step results, as laid out by one user.

"Here:

Firefox - Tools, Options, Privacy, and then de-select the "Allow cookies from sites" option. Then you can vote many times.

Internet Explorer - Tools, Internet Options, Privacy, then go to Advanced settings and Block all cookies. Then you can vote many times.


To be extra helpful, when you're about to vote... click on the "Michigan State" option, then press "ctrl" on your keyboard, then, as you're holding "ctrl," click on the Submit button MANY times (I recommend around 80-130 each time). Then let the pages load. Once they're loaded, close the browser and do the same thing to vote again.

The results will NEVER show on your screen until you allow cookies back on. After you allow cookies again, you can refresh the screen and it will show the results."

For those nefarious individuals out there, if one were so inclined (eyes dart back and forth), one could use Tor to hide their IP and/or automatic browsing software. (to vote while you sleep or whatever, getting several thousand votes in)

Quote from when we were doing the Heisman voting thing (for DMac):

Still voting.  Wish someone here that knows how to write programs could make a program that automatically votes over and over for us.  We could then download the program and we wouldn't have to vote over and over.

It's already been written - it works like a tape recorder once you figure it out - it records your clicks and where the mouse is on the screen.

Not advocating anything, just saying we don't have a chance against the Mormons (there are way too many of them) unless we do something different from last round.

Although, others might have better suggestions..

Vote and vote often.  Someone go over to the Mich. St board and ask them if they want to get revenge on ISU... get Wyoming while your at it.

[Proud Hog]

What are the results.Cannot get the on my computer for some reason.I have voted numerous times.

[NuttinItUp]

We are going to need all the help we can get. They had 3.4 million votes to our 713,738.

Anyone think other SEC schools would help us out or no?

58-42, them winning but only about 500 votes cast. I wouldn't worry about the total until there are lots more votes in.

I hate how the guy gushes over the Iowa St-Michigan St matchup and all the cool stuff they have done: http://www.sportsline.com/spin/story/10197376 but then barely mentions us.

We never get any respect...

Start hitting them up.  As well as everyone that ISU beat in the brackets...

Anyone they beat might vote for them so they can say they lost to the national champions, haha.

[football-writer]

I voted...we're still down 44 to 56...so we ARE catching up!

[hawaiianhogster]

Maybe the MODS could contact the other MODS of the SEC schools and get them behind us as we are representing the SEC as a whole. As the toughest and best conference in the country it would be ashame to lose to Iowa State.

I will be voting often. Razorbacks for life.

He basically called the razorback a coward. That is beyond no respect.

[WindyCityHog]

What the hell....I think this poll is completely ridiculous....but keeping in the spirit of Chicago....

Vote early and vote often.

Are there fabulous prizes?

First, clear and block your cookies

Internet Explorer Users:

(IE7, you also have to hit "Delete Cookies..." to clear them. Note that it will erase all cookies, which means sites that you leave yourself logged in (like facebook), you will have to log back in. Just a heads up

To block the cookie - Go to tools -> internet options -> "privacy" tab -> click on the "Sites" button -> type in: "*.sportsline.com" (without quotes but with the asterisk) -> hit the "block" buton -> hit ok and apply and you're good to go


Firefox Users:
---------------------------------
1. You have to be on firefox
2. Go into the TOOLS menu at the top
3. Scroll down to OPTIONS
4. Click on the PRIVACY menu
5. There will be three boxes in that menu, the middle one is labeled COOKIES, click on the tab that says SHOW COOKIES
6. In the SEARCH bar at the top, time in sportsline.com
7. Click on the first cookie to highlight it, then click REMOVE COOKIE
8. Do step 7 again until everything is cleared out

After you clear and block your cookies, select Arkansas Razorbacks and just rapid click Submit as many times as you can before the page reloads. It registers all the clicks as votes. TRUST ME. And it is MUCH faster than what we were doing before.

This should work in ANY browser.

[HogFansReunited]

I voted and I will keep voting.  I will also try getting a few other SEC schools to vote for us.

[football-writer]

the winning school gets a plaque in honor of its fans hard work and dedication...

[NuttinItUp]

Are there fabulous prizes?

From the link http://www.sportsline.com/spin/story/10197376 the dude says: "On top of eternal trash-talking rights on Internet message boards of your choice, the winning school also will receive a commemorative plaque honoring their mascot as 2007's Most Dominant College Mascot on Earth."

I guess the plaque goes to the school? The trash talking will be more fun though.

They also have a You Tube video.  I know some of the people on this board can do a much better job than what they have.

[bd93]

I want to win this so badly. lol

[silvertip]

At about 3:30 it was 53-47 IA ST, but only about 1080 votes.

I will get on the voting hard this weekend when I'm not down in Hoover watching the SECT.  WPS!!

[OzarkHighs]

I voted as many times as I could...

[Hogtropolis™]

Let's hope that ISU doesn't get 1.5 million+ votes again.  Either that or let's hope that we can manage more than 500,000+

[NuttinItUp]

The local news (especially the CBS affiliates) should run a story on it.

[OKC]

It's up to us to win it...I'd like to see that plaque hanging somewhere the next time i go to a game.

[AFWarrior83]

DeviceHigh could certainly out do them! Maybe Mike Irwin could give it a shout out?  :razorback: BTW Voted!

[Since 1894]

Hogs down 46 to 54!!!

[Dwight_K_Shrute]

They are going to clean our clocks unless we are more organized.  They had a link on ISU's official web page.   I have no connections whatsoever, but this is what we need to do.

1.  Get the university involved and get a link on Hogwired.
2.  Try to enlist the rest of the SEC and  make it a North vs. South thing.
3.  Get some stuff out on Youtube etc.
4.  Get Houston to contact everyone in his 5.
5.  Try to get on message boards in India and China.  Let them know how we admire their people and need their help.  Is it still the year of the pig?  If so play that up to the Chinese. 
6.  Play up to the monster pig and Hogzilla hysteria going around.
7.  Approach the Iowa Hawkeyes.  Let them know they will be hearing about it all year if the Cyclones win.

We can't let no stupid bird caught up in a tornado beat a RAZORBACK.

Can we give out Shrute bucks?

How much is a Shrute buck worth?

- 1,000 Schrute Bucks = Extra 5 minutes for lunch

- The cash value of a Schrute Buck is 1/100 of a cent

- One billion Stanley Nickels = Never having to talk to Dwight again

- The ratio of Stanley Nickels to Schrute Bucks = the same as the ratio of unicorns to leprechauns

printable Schrute bucks

[Proud Hog]

We have come back to tie it at 50/50.Keep up the voting because you know they will.They had over a million votes the last round.So we have our work cut out for us.

[NuttinItUp]

I wonder why there are so few votes so far? We were way ahead of this total last week. It might be the servers are just having a hard time keeping the total up to date with all the votes being cast. (That, or they are limiting it to only a few votes per IP address or one vote an hour per IP or something, in which case getting tons more people with lots of different computers would become crucial)

[hawgwild1087]

Steve Sullivan mentioned it on the newscast tonight and they put a link up on the KATV website.  Way to get the word out Channel 7!

Yeah, I voted like 100 times and it only counted it once.  Maybe they found a way to counteract vote spamming.  That sucks.

Well, they only update the total every 5 or 10 minutes. That has been the same throughout the contest. It is just that the total is so low.
