Heh. It amazes me sometimes how many people don't realize the way vote-stuffing works. Even if you don't know that much about the internet you should still realize that people can write scripts to do this kind of thing.

BTW, we just fell below 60% in the ACC poll. Did someone quit running the script?

NC State was getting some love in the power 16 comments earlier today (we were left out of it completely, not even in the those receiving votes.. so some people wanted us included)

If ESPN is blocking us, they had better block Southern Illinois too... I really doubt that many people even realize they have a basketball team.

Of course, they may have taken the poll down or something.
