It is 3:37am and Caris' lead is 20,740.  So that's 260 votes in 27 minutes for UTK.

It is 4:17am and Caris' lead is now 20,540. Keep in mind that's with at least one person constantly putting in one vote over the course of the past hour and 45 minutes. Hopefully, the UTK fans will get tired too.

At this time yesterday, the lead was about 25,000. This morning the lead is 18,189.

This thing may swing on either UNT's Greeks getting involved, or the UT Greeks being unable to sustain their pace.

If any UNT Greeks are listening, we don't need 150 people voting at once. All that is needed is three computers with high-speed connections, with voters rotating on the computers. Three computers going all the time would easily match or exceed the Vols' pace of sixty votes every five minutes.

It is strange how all night long I could vote 2 or 3 times without their vote changing, and then it would jump by 6-8 votes or more. Either there is lag in showing that school's votes overnight or there is some votes going on again.

Momentum shift!

At 8:15 this morning, the lead had shrunk to just over 18,000.

But five hours later, the lead has grown to over 19,000. Five minutes of voting showed Ms. Manners receiving 43 votes and Caris pulling in...89!

Well done, Green! Keep up the pressure!

It appears to me that Tenn. just pretty much stopped. The votes coming from them are at a snails crawl compared to what they were doing before.

Put the lead to 40K.

No, what UTK does is they wait until most everybody's asleep past 1:00 in the morning and that's when they mount their votes. I must've put in 300 votes for your girl this morning along with a few of your others here that were online at the same time. It was pissing me off because my computer froze like three or four times.

Anyways, I'm glad the Sun Belt Conference is well represented in this contest. I do feel bad for the girl from Florida International. I wished this contest could've come down to your girl and theirs, but then it'd be really hard to choose who to vote for if were an outsider who's just supporting the league.

The lead just climbed back over 22,000! The Vols spent two days chopping 10,000 votes off the lead, and we've retaken 4,000 of those votes.

But on the Vol Nation website, the Vols are talking about about making another run at us this weekend. They're not finished, yet.

Where is the link to that?

Here's a link to the thread about the Athlon contest on VolNation.com:

VolNation: Vote for U.T. Cheerleader

Some posts suggest they're losing hope, some are still defiant. This weekend may tell what they have left. I give them credit for cutting into the lead the way they did after that gut-punch of having so many votes wiped away. Caris's lead is back up to 24,000 now, so that's a huge mountain to climb.

The Vols are pissed and down. However, like the class that they are, Smitty and Stebo have tried to post over there to explain to them throughout that entire process of Athlon taken away everyone's multi-hit votes that no one here has attempted to discredit them in anyway and reminded that non of it was their fault but Athlon's fault. Regardless of the good nature by the MGN posters over there we still get these replies:

...North Texas definitely needs something to cheer about. Their football team isn't doing anything to earn cheers......

......This is getting old now. Everyone should just let North Texas win it. What's the point of voting all of those times? Even if you did catch back up, North Texas would just pick up the phone, call Athlon and cry until some more votes were taken away. Seems like a lost cause. If they're willing to go to that extent for a silly cheerleading contest, they're obviously desperate and probably need it more. Let the poor people have it.

Vote all night long Mean Green!

That is very interesting reading right there. By the way, I was unaware that Western Kentucky defeated Tennessee in the Capital One Mascot challenge to make it to the Finals!

Who says the Sun Belt can't compete? Usually, those bigger schools are at each others throats, but we non-Power $ix schools have to stick together.

UTK fans need to vote in the same manner that most of us do. We type in the code, press vote, let the screen reload, click on Caris' name, wait for the screen to load with a new code, and then repeat the process. That's about the only fair way I know to do it.

By the way, those codes you type in to vote ARE NOT CASE SENSITIVE! That means all those capital letters can be typed out as lower case letters and it's read the same. It beats holding the shift key or worrying about whether or not the Caps Lock is on. That's a waste of valuable seconds.

Let's try and push it back up above 25k before midnight.

Rick

Made it! 25,000 at 11:51.

I'm stunned. I don't know if they've quit or what, but the Vols have posted a very few votes in the last fifteen minutes. It's time to finish them, to spend the weekend building an insurmountable lead and win this thing for Caris and the Mean Green Nation. Keep pushing, folks.

I understand your frustration, Vols. I really do. And, no, we don't win as much as you do. We don't have the national titles or the big-time bowl games or the national reputation.

But we're winning this fair and square, and you're going to have to fight like hell to beat us.

      🙄 like I have stated before DC under a lame duck coach is not a highly desired job for coaches with options.

      That is very subjective. Boise State or UNLV probably will get the G5 spot in the playoff over a one loss Army team. Louisville, SMU, Houston, Rutgers and Cincinnati left conference for greener pastures. So I don’t know who anointed the AAC as 5th, but the playoff committee isn’t listening to them. Army, a team brand new to the conference that came into the conference and dominated. They were independent juggernauts last year at 6-6 🙄. AAC is viewed as better than the MAC, CUSA and Sun Belt. But we certainly won’t be viewed as better than the reconstructed PAC 12 and right now it doesn’t look like we are viewed better than the current MWC.

      Football at The Dat next wrekend

      Don't if y'all know this or not.....but the last two years we've had Texas high school football games played in Louisiana. Both years the games have been at Turpin Stadium in Natchitoches. As a matter of fact, this year they hosted two games on the same day. (Daingerfield versus Newton, and Texarkana versus Port Neches Grove). Both games were last Friday.

      The exact same thing was probably thought by other fan bases about Eric, Seth, Dan, and any other head coach we’ve hired here.
