I'm voting.

Anyone think there were way more capital one commercials with the mascots last year compared to this year? I just haven't seen too many and I am kind of dissapointed.

I voted for Thundar and Cy and also have 10 others at work voting same. Let me know if we should be doing differently.
Right now Thundar - Testudo contest neck and neck at 550 votes each give or take a few.
Get out the votes Bisonville.....get your family, friends, neighbors, coworkers, etc. involved in voting.

Is Thundar getting any help from Bunny fans? The only reason SDSU's mascot is number 1 in the write in vote for next year is because of Bison fans. Hopefully they are still helping out............

Also sent an e-mail to Helena at Team Makers to please send the link out to the Team Maker mass list. Also mentioned in my e-mail to write in SDSU. LETS DO THIS !!!!!!!! www.capitalonebowl.com

keep voting Thundar is losing!

Just a reminder, you can vote as many times as you like but there is a trick. Go and vote for thundar and after you vote, do this.

If you have "Internet Explorer" click tools - internet options - delete cookies

Then go back and vote again.

I hope we can pull it out. If we win this week we're in the championship and that will give us some huge exposure but we're going to need to vote every day. Actually we'll need to vote multiple times per day because Iowa State is a bigger school than us so they have more voters. It can be done because Monana won it a few years ago.

I just voted 3 times! Step it up. We're about 400 votes behind.

SDbison

12-02-2008, 05:58 PM

Thundar is behind by close to 500 now (7391 to 7863)! The Bison is getting beat by a fat ugly turtle. Come on Bison Nation step it up!

Jacks fans are voting like mad for Thundar, and appreciate the support for Jack State in the Write In votes.

That's interesting, indeed.

When I was voting yesterday, Cocky had a 1600 vote lead. All the more reason to keep stuffing for Thundar!

gotts

12-04-2008, 06:50 PM

Still similar numbers in that Cy/Cocky race. Cocky by 6.

Thundar by 2072!

I still say a Cy matchup favors us moreso than a Cocky matchup....

I've got two cousins at ISU, so it wouldn't hurt the family rivalry if it turned out that way...

I just noticed on Cockys facebook group that they are telling all of their members to vote for testudo and against us. Lets teach them a lesson, plus they have already won. It is time for the thundering herd to win

The one vote a day w/o clearing cookie is off on FRI. Then vote frequently today!

Stuff the BALLOT BOX FOR THUNDAR then JACK STATE!

thundarrulz7

12-05-2008, 01:57 PM

All that voting that I just did and still no huge gain for thundar. I am thinking Cocky really is voting against us, they have gained a lot on CY so they have been putting in the votes. I think we can kill two birds with one stone and win this week and vote against cocky so that we don't have to face them next week. If there is a large enough gap between cy and cocky maybe cocky fans will stop voting against us. Lets shut that cocky bird up for trying to take everybody on
