Fred Hoiberg Infiniti Voting

[cyhiphopp]

Everyone needs to continue voting, and it wouldn't hurt to add email addresses or ask friends to help out as well.

The key in this event is to just advance. Fred is guaranteed $7500 for the Heart Association, just for making it into the start of this round even if he goes no further. Make it into the next round and he's guaranteed $10,000 even if that's the end. The round after that guarantees him $15,000 for making the final four. The only time it will count to be #1 is in the final round where one guy walks away with $100,000.

The strategy here is to continue voting in the manner we have until we reach a point where we need to create additional gmail or yahoo addresses to multiply our votes. IF people take the 5 seconds it takes to vote with two addresses, the same number of people will be able to double voting output when it becomes necessary. One can expect challengers to do the same as the benefit for doing so increases.

Obviously, with 16 coaches advancing this round, we do not need to bother with that just yet. But if a coach was on the bubble for the round of 16 with others around 2%, it would be a bigger deal for them to make the extra effort.

Our current voting trend indicates Fred is a lock for the final four and at least $15,000 for his charity. He and Painter will be the favorites to duke it out for the $100,000 in all likelihood. Keep your powder dry, and plan for a point in the contest where doing just a little more can mean serious moolah for Fred and the AHA.

This is not to mean participants can just relax and not vote, we all still need to do that. But not having Fred in first place is not necessarily a problem at this point, either.

FYI, You don't have to have a valid gmail account to create and ESPN account.

I completely made up a few email addresses and usernames all with the same password. I wrote down the usernames and just vote with all 4 of them every day.

Fred always slips behind first thing in the morning, and makes up ground later in the day. I wonder if Painter's charity has organized voting--essentially using their contact list and having a volunteer enter the emails of their supporters on the list and use them to vote. It is probably within the rules. What little presence Purdue basketball maintains on the Web, hardly anyone is talking about the challenge from what I've been able to find.

Remember this round ends Sunday at 10:59 a.m. so in order for Fred to get your Sunday vote we'll need to vote before then. I have already voted for Saturday as you can vote for the next day after 11 p.m. Central time.

Fred isn't in any danger of not making this round or probably the fourth round but it's good to keep the habit of voting every day. Hopefully everyone has in mind some more voters as in future rounds there will probably be more than a 1% difference in the top candidates.

All tied up at 24%. I really wish the AD would publicize this at the game tomorrow.
