Vote early and often! Lets kick some Bear A$$
Baylor up big now, need a comeback! And how does Baylor (or Kentucky, for that matter) qualify when they didn't even make the Dance?
I gotta say, that thing looks pretty good.
The "2012 National Food Champion sponsored by the cookingchannel" banner will look mighty nice next to the 2012 Big East championship banner. Let's make this happen!

Aren't we smarter than open and closing to vote? Can't someone write a script to vote for MU?

Really? That looks disgusting. I find it interesting that the picture they use for Real Chili isn't what it really looks like
I'm pretty sure as long as you wait for the page to finish loading after you vote, you can hit refresh and vote again. Every time I do this, the vote total for MU goes up by 1. Now, someone else could be voting by the time it takes me to do this, but I've done it around 5 times and every time it has increased by 1.
You get the "We have already counted your vote" message whether its your first time voting or not.

The burrito from Montana looked way better. I was craving one. This looks like a redneck version of Upstate NY's garbage plates.
Is it real food if one of the main ingredients is corn chips? Maybe to a 12 year old. Real Chili should not loose to such a dish!
When we lose in a tournament, we lose big.

Samesies.
Down by about 1500.
They are clearly cheating. In the ten minutes it took me to cast my (10) vote(s) their numbers went from around 1900 to 2300. In fact, in the time it took me to write this post they went up another 60. Freaking cheaters. Oh yeah, and your uniforms are hideous. Cheaters.
Cheating and Baylor go hand-in-hand. But I would definitely prefer that dish.
That Baylor dish looks absolutely delicious. I abstained from voting.
I've been on a diet recently, but looking at this stuff, I might have to go to the halal food cart outside of my office today.
I disagree. Pickles and Fritos don't belong on the same plate. No theme. No creativity. It just looks like a random collection of stuff you found in the back of your fridge and pantry that you threw together on a paper plate after stumbling home drunk from the bar at 3:00 a.m. all pissed off because the Taco Bell drive through was already closed when you got there. Not that that's ever happened to me....

Dear morbidly obese computer nerd who is running an automated script to artificially jack up the voting numbers for Baylor's "plate-o-crap":Take a good look at that picture of crap from Vitek's BBQ...mmmmm...random, fatty, unrelated chunks of blubberus flesh cast about in a haphazard way – and topped with pickles!! Mmmmm. Your bowels are already dancing just thinking about it, right? Now lick that Cheetos residue off your fingers, step away from the keyboard and limp your way on down to Vitek's for a double-helping! And quit CHEATING!!Real Chili Rules!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

QuoteReal Chili in championship round of the Cooking Channel's Best College Eats tourney
If you thought NCAA basketball was dramatic: Milwaukee's Real Chili has survived round after round of online voting to land in the championship of the Cooking Channel's Best College Eats tournament.
Real Chili and its chili-topped spaghetti have marched through the bracket, taking down the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Fordham University, Kansas University and, just yesterday, the University of Kentucky.
The Marquette University campus mainstay, at 1625 W. Wells St., now is taking on Baylor University and Vitek's BBQ of Waco, Texas.
Online voting for the Best College Eats champ is going on now and continues until 2 p.m. Friday.
The bracket started with 32 campus eateries; to make the list, the restaurants had to be near a campus, be a considered a staple at the college and had to offer good college fare.
In Wednesday's Final Four voting, Real Chili outpolled the University of Kentucky's Tolly Ho Restaurant in Lexington and its burger with cheddar tots, 10,533 votes to 10,456.
Store manager Phil Salvucci was a little nervous around midday Thursday, as Vitek's was outpolling Real Chili by about 2,000 votes.
Salvucci said he had learned from a Marquette employee who was watching the Cooking Channel that Real Chili was in the competition. "It would be cool to have bragging rights," he said. "There's definitely a lot of love out there for Real Chili."
At like noon Real Chili had 27%, now it's up to 39%.
I think we are cheating just slightly faster than they are cheating. It'll take a while to catch up.
Just goes to show how tough it is to win it all.

I'm on an eight hour drive to Nashville. I'll get some votes in.
I just got a cooling off period. Got us within 1020 votes though. Time to move from phone to tablet.

Lloyd, doable?
53% - 47%
Down 1,044 with over 17 hours left. Doable.
Took it under 1000
What's the minimum for "Chicago" votes?
We are on a big run! Less than 900 votes behind. Vote early and Vote often. 8-)
Getting closer. Poll closes tomorrow so come on Marquette.
Only 600 votes Behind. We can do this. Lets put Marquette and Real Chili where they belong! 8-)
less than 200!
Up by 1
So do people want me to write some and seal the victory?
Up by 3%!
Don't stop now!
(I wonder if Kentucky is helping us for Baylor's shenanigans last round?)
Doubt it. They were bitching in the comment thread that we were cheating (too).
Up by 500 now.
Keep the heat on.
They're starting to catch up... we're only up 400 votes. We gotta turn up the juice!!
@INDYWarrior yes! Let's win this thing!!
They are coming on strong. Lets go.
Less than a 300 vote lead now
Even if it says it has already recorded your vote or you don't see the total go up, it is still counting your vote. Keep voting multiple times!
They are on fire now! Help!
Our lead is down to 120 votes...
We need our NBA guys to tweet out the link. I know Novak loves some Real Chili...
under 80 votes. Their script is in overdrive!
I just got a cooling off period as they are about to pass us.
When does voting end? We're only up 20 votes! and they are gaining on us...where the hell is the comp sci department?!?!

They might have a delay written in so they don't get locked out.
We're losing about 0.01% points every 8-10 seconds.

Hitting that page. Script is clearing cache everytime IE is re-launched. Let me get a few more machines spun up.
Very productive day at work.
I am still befuddled how you guys are voting more than once. I've cleared cookies, blocked cookies, opened in incognito with Chrome, FF, IE. I've even disabled Flash and Silverlight, just in case they are setting cookies there.
The REALLY strange thing is that I've also tried using a proxy, which should give me a different IP. Even then, that box comes up on the right that says your "profile number" .. which is always the same for me. That's hella strange. Can't figure out how the hell they know who I am, if I've disabled/cleared all cookies.
I think TallTitan suggest the votes "count anyway" but I find that hard to believe. If the page comes back and says "you've already voted" .. there's just no way they count it, unless they are wholly incompetent. -- Seeing the vote count increment simply means someone else voted and bumped the number.
We're down 600 now. :-\
I'm not entirely sure...but from scanning through the javascript and source code for the page, I compiled this url.
It says 404 page not found. But, its the back end call to cast a vote.
Like I said, not sure entirely though...

102.1 FM station in milwaukee gave all it's listeners a heads up at 10am saying that "If you're a Marquette fan, you might want to vote for Real Chili, you're only behind a few hundred votes"
So keep voting guys.

I have been using the main link for the poll (first one on this thread) and then selecting "return to poll" right after the results show-up (located below the results). When I do it lets me vote again and judging by the incrementing of the votes I believe my votes are counting.

So I'm not sure if this is working or not. My apologies, I did get dragged into real work this afternoon.
Basically created something that Deletes All IE files via command prompt "RunDll32.exe InetCpl.cpl,ClearMyTracksByProcess 255"
Then hitting this link http://answers.polldaddy.com/vote/?va=10&pt=0&r=1&p=7012692&a=31819099&o= (http://answers.polldaddy.com/vote/?va=10&pt=0&r=1&p=7012692&a=31819099&o=) and loops.
Like I said, not sure. Its hard to gauge if we are gaining ground at all because my guess is other people are voting too.
But I have another script running that actually interacts and selects Real Chili and clicks vote button.
Back to work...good luck. I'll leave these running and we will find out at 5pm/4pm.
They are better cheaters than us. They are in the SEC.

Marquette gives out a free t-shirt and confessess a mortal sin. Baylor covers up a player's murder, which was child's play to some of the other stuff they have done over the years. Men vs. Boys on the "how to cheat scale". MU never had a chance.
Real Chili = best college eating experience in the U.S.
Gut Pak = mud butt starter kit
End of story.
Well, it was a good season, but our lengthy run in the tourney is over. Thanks to all seniors for their contributions. Baylor was just the better team today.
Championship Match: Marquette vs. Baylor (Poll Closed)
Marquette: Real Chili's The Marquette 48.3% (14,035 votes)
Baylor University: The Gut Pak from Vitek's BBQ 51.7% (15,025 votes)
Total Votes: 29,060
Refs stole this one from us by ending the game early. Protest!
