Ok...I so I've only voted once for this thing. I'll try and vote as many times as I can until the first round is over.

Once is more than enough. Trust me.

I think Texas pan-American is trying to make a run on us....keep an eye out for them,we're -66,they're +53...granted our voting pool is bigger(#2 RANK vs #9 for them),but still.....would be a shame for them to re-take #3 from us at the last minute.We only need to be about - 40's to maintain and feel relatively safe i think.

They were ranked 18th yesterday and are ranked 8th today, that is reason why they are +73 today.

No doubt they are a good ways behind,but they went from +53 to plus 73 in about 15 min time....they're voting to catch up a little....don't want them close enough to catch us flat footed the last day....i just wasted most of the morning voting for IPFW,what a black hole for votes they are .....will vote another hr or two tonight( for us this time).Now they're +84 %,that indicates to me anyway they're incresing their vote total at a pretty good clip.On second thought,maybe it doesn't translate to a whole lot of votes after all....heightened alert status off....for now

Re: NCAA 6thFan Contest

We are 2nd in voting today so that means we are putting more distance between the two of us.

Gotcha, haven't been paying to them. I figure if we are in the 2nd spot, that means we are gaining votes on everyone else (except NDSU).

Would be great to lock up the #2 seed so we can have home court advantage until the finals.

Playing in the BSA won't be near as tough as playing in the Fargo Dome. Glad this is the Summit League we're representing and not the MVFC.

Re: NCAA 6thFan Contest

Finally back off the road and ready to hit the keyboard. Just a note for everybody FWIW: while on the road, my wife started voting by phone, and surprised me by saying that she can vote even faster on the phone. I tried it for awhile (NO...was not doing the driving at that time) and after going awhile, discovered that you can get very fast on the phone. Part of that is the way the app shows the screen...far less moving around than with the mouse, and even the CAPTCHA typing (switching from alpha to numeric) wasn't as hard as I thought. (I know slosho said the same thing, and I have to admit, I thought no way...sorry SS).

That relieved my mind a lot, because I am out of town from Tuesday through Friday on the SWEET 16. But I will be on the road about 9 hours on two of those days. My daughter will be with me, and I now know the plan will included switching drivers every so often, with the passenger voting. Anyway, that's my plan and I'm sticking to it...and I just wanted to tell some of you, if you wind up in the same situation, this may work for you. Each round will get tougher, but we must make it through the Sweet 16 in order to find out.

additionally, My Samsung has the #'s on the top row, so I don't even have to go in and out of alpha to numeric, I'm sure you could download a different keyboard in this configuration to make it faster(if you wanted).

Re: NCAA 6thFan Contest

Interesting (numbers on top row). Our numbers dropped today, and we finished at 6th, while Arkansas State was #1, UNC-Greensboro was #2 (they moved into #15 and George Washington into #16...while Portland and Radford were ousted), the Bison mighty were #3, and BYU was #4. So it seems like everybody is slacking off, and looks liked the two behind us are way down too, so suspect everybody (except near the #16 spot) are accepting where they are at. I think we still need to keep voting, just don't have to overdue it. I have more time this weekend now, when I can get back into it. Would ask all posters to monitor things on Sunday and make sure we keep our spot. Thanks to everybody for the work yesterday and today (I did get a couple of hours in last night while I was in Omaha).

Re: NCAA 6thFan Contest

Can anyone help me get something straight in my mind about the time that voting for the day ends and is reset ? I think it is 11:00 pm .

When we look at the rank on the chart that comes up when you click "vote" ,is that for yesterday, if you look at it at say...5pm.
The reason I think that it is,... we couldn't possibly be assigned a rank til the days voting time has expired at 11:00 PM, so it has to be Yesterday's rank,but, the last dot on the chart has todays date and a rank,couldn't be todays rank when the voting time hasn't expired yet.
The only indicator they have that's real time is today's leading vote getter....correct?

Also, is the dead period 6-11 pm? Seems to be a good time to build up votes and close the gap or lengthen your lead while being "unseen" for 5 hrs to me.
