Hopefully this has been forwarded to the MU Student Body!

[mu_hilltopper]

Yeah, we gotta make an effort to vote EVERY day.  I'm pretty sure it's by IP address, btw.  Tried different browsers, thinking it was cookie based .. nope.

[mu_hilltopper]

Hmm .. rocky, what do you think about sending out an email blast to Scoop's database? 

2,600 email addresses .. not everyone will do it, but .. lots will.

[gjreda]

Jerel's currently leading.


Sam Young - Pitt

Young maintains an approximate 2.5 GPA.

Nice.  Seems to be working too, T-Will has the lead.

[mu_hilltopper]

We are launching an email tonight to 2600 people.  I'm thinking that gets Jerel 1,000 votes.

[Hey DeDe]

Can you vote multiple times a day through the text messaging vote?

[Daniel]

I know voting online following the links above, you can vote once per day per unique pc - so if you vote from work, an dhave a pc at home, you can vote from home too same day.

[MUfan12]

Maybe pin a link to vote up top?

Need to get the MU students behind this one... I remember we won a fan photo contest a couple of years ago, beating out Moscow. No reason we wouldn't be able to take out UL.

[Marquette Mama]

Just received  MU Insider email from MU Athletics with info on tonight's game vs. USF. 
It also included a blurb on the CLASS Award with a link to Cracked Sidewalks.  This may help reach more Jerel fans. 
Don't recall ever receiving a Cracked Sidewalks link in an MU communications before.  Is this a first?

ONLY vote for Jerel! It allows you to vote for 3 Seniors. You aren't helping Jerel unless you "bullet vote" for Jerel and Jerel alone.

[Henry Sugar]

Don't recall ever receiving a Cracked Sidewalks link in an MU communications before.  Is this a first?

No, they linked to CS a few times last year.  Mostly some boring stats posts. 

[Tommy Brice for Coach]

McNeal is slipping! go vote today!

[mu_hilltopper]

 Yeah, pretty disappointing .. I figured after the MUScoop email went out, McNeal would have rocketed to the top.  Either not many responded to the email, or the UK people have trumped our efforts.

[MU Chi_IL]

Bump

Go vote for him NOW.  One vote per day:  http://www.seniorclassaward.com/vote/mens_basketball_2008_09/

UK people?

Do you mean Louisville?

[mu_hilltopper]

Right, right, sorry.  UL. 

Hmm .. what do people think about another email blast?   Looks like TWill is steady at 34%, which would mean the UL wave of people has perhaps subsided.

[PJDunn]

Looks like the kid from Seattle has a pretty big lead.  Probably in part because he has come up big in almost all of L'villes nationally televised games.

Perhaps.  Although it seemed McNeal started losing ground immediately after we sent our first e-mail.
