Around SBN: The Worst Team Ever Projected?

Meaningless poll means even less. Hah!!!

This is awesome, I don't know if anyone has been paying attention to ESPN's Helmet Clash of Alabama vs. A&M today, but you need to check it out. 

Some Bama Fan wrote a program for windows that lets you vote something like 9,999 times and the number of votes is over 1.6 million last I checked.  They're all bitching at each other about cheating, it's hilarious.

I think it is awesome that someone went through that much trouble to screw up this stupid internet poll.  It means even less now than it did before.

no

I think espn might do something about the problem. ESPN hasn’t posted a winner between a&m and Alabama, and they already have Texas vs Florida State.

I don't think ESPN is going to invalidate the results

if you read Texags, they had some scripts going, too.

Apparently, ‘Bama won the geek fight. The advantage of their script is you could have it run multiple times on the same computer.

Some Texas Genius

will write a script that will enable him to vote like 2 million times.

We’re Texas, we are faster, stronger, better looking, smarter, cooler, and nerdier…. than you.

looks like fsu is doing the same thing

texas is losing 91% to 9% with over 48 thousand votes. Thats as much as the entire days worth the last two rounds.

I guess i’d rather lose on the internet than on the field.

I hope this keeps going all weekend

And there becomes an excessive amount of votes. Like 200 Million, I wanna see ESPN convince viewers that more people voted for their poll, than people who vote in the Presidential election.

Actually that would probably only take like 30 million votes.

ESPN, u suck.

who cares

they had to cheat to beat us and they wouldn’t have cheated had they thought they could beat us

I like long walks, especially when they are taken by people who annoy me.

This happened a few years ago

A Denver fan created a program that racked up votes for the NFL’s best uniforms. Once ESPN caught on they disqualified the Broncos and also put them in the ugliest uniform bracket.

Somehow...

We’re ahead. With over 2 million votes cast, we’re still barely ahead.

Where is this coming from?

Shenanigans over at HornFans? Shaggy Bevo? We own shenanigans, you guys.

I would guess

Most of the FSU votes are Aggies.

by Meekrob on Aug 11, 2008 11:16 AM CDT reply actions  

Wow...

Over 2 million people voted in the last 4 hours. ESPN sure can get a good turnout…

And yeah, I bet its mostly Aggies too.
