This UCONN article is pretty funny. We can make it funnier by Jimmering the poll

Agreed. This would be a fun one to take over.

I may have refreshed and voted more than once. Maybe.

5/6/16 8:44pm

LOL. They couldn't think of anything truly negative to say about BYU

LiveCoug

Boston College doesn't even bring the Boston market. Hilarious they think

Their only argument against BYU is geography.

His measuring distance in driving hours is pretty funny too

Storrs to Lubbock is 29 hours.

Time to fire up the TNTbot!

Every vote you do for byu, do one for a school not named uconn... let's make them last

Fetchin Fetcher

5/6/16 8:56pm

Just one...Tulane. Vote once for Tulane for every 2 for BYU.

5/6/16 8:59pm

Done

Fetchin Fetcher

5/6/16 9:00pm

And Tulane has now passed Cincy. lol

5/6/16 9:04pm

Tulane about to pass UConn!

Harrison0Yfan

5/6/16 9:06pm

Focus on south Florida now... They're next to pass UConn

Harrison0Yfan

5/6/16 9:22pm

Tulane is now in 2nd place, UConn down to 7th (BYU in 1st with 61.5%)

Sounds familiar

"BYU's national reach is a little bit overrated." He said, as a caption on a

Harrison0Yfan

5/6/16 8:57pm

"The only knock against UCONN is its awful football program." Oh is that all?

5/6/16 8:59pm

Especially when what drives expansion is football. What a load of crap.

5/6/16 9:01pm

But they have a $58 million dollar practice facility...

How did their's cost 58 million? There must be more too it. Ours was only 9 million.

spugeddy24

His decision to post a poll was idiotic.

This is actually a great idea for BamaCoug's next bit. Fan base performance in

5/6/16 9:09pm

Our national appeal is overstated though

5/6/16 9:10pm

They just fixed the poll. Only 1 vote per IP now.

5/6/16 9:08pm

I'm still able to vote numerous times.

jrifkin48

To be fair....the poll is being Jimmered by a few people.

WJCougar

5/6/16 10:18pm

I voted for BYU at least 20x and Tulane at least 5x

HammerTheHive

What would be great is voting everybody up so that UCONN had the fewest votes

Bwah ha ha. They blocked me for voting too much. Anyone having the same problem?

P-Widdy

Not yet, but my IP is in Alabama so maybe they are confused about me.

HammerTheHive

5/6/16 9:24pm

He just updated it, and input a few more things about BYU haha

HammerTheHive

I think he just realized anything "BYU" gets him a lot of clicks....

"You're not Norte same, BYU. Chill." Someone's butthurt about his huskies

Harrison0Yfan

Here's what I love they claim 4 titles in sports since 2013. We have a chance to

5/6/16 9:35pm

In fairness I think he was talking about bb and fb. They have 4 men's

5/6/16 9:59pm

Nope. "4 championships across 3 different sports since 2013"

5/6/16 10:01pm

Haven't they won WBB for 5 consecutive years or something?

Can't stop laughing! Looking at that long green bar for BYU and the 2nd longest green bar for Tulane is beyond awesome.

Who do we push above UCONN next?

crazY

5/6/16 9:52pm

Now we work on UCF....should be about 10 minutes and they'll be above UCONN

jrifkin48

We're in the neighboring state to a state that was historically Big XII turf.

On to Houston!

5/6/16 10:02pm

Only two spots to go until UConn is on the bottom!

Flyski

5/6/16 10:06pm

Someone be sure to grab a screenshot when UCONN is in last place.

VACOUGFAN

5/6/16 10:06pm

Got it. Should I tweet it to the author?

crazY

5/6/16 10:09pm

Yes yes yes 1000x yes.

VACOUGFAN

5/6/16 10:19pm

I couldn't come up with a clever tweet. Any ideas?

crazY

5/6/16 10:23pm

Just quote him on how our reach is "overrated"

5/6/16 10:28pm

Houston about to overtake UCONN!

Brisco

5/6/16 10:06pm

Done! Now Memphis is gaining on UCONN!

Brisco

5/6/16 10:08pm

Holy Crap! Memphis has climbed from the bottom to 3rd!

Brisco

5/6/16 10:13pm

Good job gents. UCONN in last place.

5/6/16 10:08pm

UCONN has had only 4 votes in about 35 minutes! I guess their fans are in bed.

Brisco

5/6/16 10:11pm

More like their 2 fans have carpal tunnel now from trying to keep up in voting

Metallicat

I'd prefer Houston. But Cinci is decent in both.

Hey some tech jedi type! Do a side by side screen grab of that poll and

5/6/16 10:23pm

Proof that BYU is hard to deal with ; )

Borg

5/6/16 10:29pm

Think of the poor guy on a computer trying all by himself to make UCONN not be in last place.
