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.

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

LiveCoug

5/6/16 8:46pm

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

VACOUGFAN

Their only argument against BYU is geography.

His measuring distance in driving hours is pretty funny too

Storrs to Lubbock is 29 hours.

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

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

Tulane about to pass UConn!

Harrison0Yfan

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

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

YIsForBrigham

5/6/16 8:59pm

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

LaVellIfIKnow

5/6/16 9:01pm

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

VACOUGFAN

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

I'm still able to vote numerous times.

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

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

VACOUGFAN

Good job gents. UCONN in last place.

YIsForBrigham

5/6/16 10:08pm

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