Since about 9 am this morning...it felt a lot like the SLU game.
Wisconsin has like a million and a half more alums than UD and we pulled it out.

I actually tweeted to Dan Patrick & Rob Lowe for a little help. Didn't hear back, but it would be awesome if they could get on board for the rest of the ride.

BYU-MSU put up 64k votes. UD-WI put up 70k. We’ll need all of those and more next round. I like our chances.
UD lead the voting in round of 64 and I’m sure we did the same in round of 32.

My thought is that we should also vote for Tennessee over Kansas to make our road a little easier should we get past BYU. Wouldn't have minded a rematch with Kansas on the court, but they've got a huge fan base.

Let’s break BYUs spirit early and yes vote TN. Good idea. Don’t know why I care about this. I guess I just don’t want this season to end.

We will see. Yesterday I thought it would take 30,000 votes to beat Wisc. It took over 35,000. Flyer Faithful WILL show up. Never doubt it.

This is what COVID-19 has reduced me to -- getting excited about a poll where the prize is a billboard and bragging rights. But hey, it is what it is.

Ud-byu
Right now, this match-up is much less than expected after the last round.
UD is cruising along 59.8%-40.2% over BYU with 41,739 votes cast, giving the Flyers a lead of 8,181 votes.
Of the eight match-ups, only the Michigan-OSU has more votes cast than the UD-BYU match-up -- 55,865 votes overall with Michigan leading 50.8%-49.2%. This is interesting since both schools are ahead of UD in votes this round -- the first round where UD hasn't been either first or second throughout the course of voting.
In the other match-ups:
Illinois leads Kentucky 51.9%-48.9% (37,359 votes)
Kansas trails Tennessee 49.0%-51.0% (35,283 votes)
Indiana leads UMBC 50.9%-49.1% (33,256 votes)
UNC trails Murray State 45.8%-54.2% (32,917 votes)
Purdue leads Oregon 54.2%-45.8% (32,583 votes)
TTU leads Syracuse 53.3%-46.7% (26,068 votes)

I watched the MSU-BYU vote starting last Sunday. BYU was behind by a lot in that one too and surged in the last day and a half to win. Mitt Romney, who has 113,000+ followers got involved. That hasn’t happened this time yet, but I expect it will.
Don’t take this one for granted. Our lead is great, but keep pushing votes in.
Also...vote for Michigan. tOSU has a 66,000+ enrollment. It will be tough from a numbers perspective to beat tOSU. Then you throw our “love for each other” on the fire. Nobody else really scares me. The Flyer Faithful will show up.
Thanks.

So who would our rival be that gets the honor of a billboard? VCU? SLU? X? Ohio State? Iowa?

During our 64 round against Iowa, one of their fans posted our billiard would g up in Iowa City if we won. In response, an Iowa State fan posted if they won it would go up in Iowa City or Lawrence. Then a third poster said put it in Lawrence because that would tee off Iowa fans...meaning they aren’t really a rival.
Being an Iowa State alum and Dayton fan, it was all entertaining to me. Then I assume an X fan posted they were sure UD would put it up in Cincy. Taking my cue from the ISU fan...I might vote for somewhere on the UC campus...just to let X know they are no longer relevant to the Flyer Faithful.

As a serious answer, I would actually go with Kansas. Although no champion was crowned this year, the two teams with the best case for (uncrowned) champion from this year are Dayton and Kansas. Unbeaten in regulation Dayton. Kansas was one of the teams to beat us and on top of that racked up a bunch of wins over top teams.
Can't play them on the court again, so if we manage to beat them here... might as well.

My thoughts, VCU, RI, and SLU, we already play, all twice this past season. _avier won't give us a game, and quite frankly I don't really want to play them, so they ain't a rival. I don't see any way Ksnsas could be goaded into a game. So my pick would be OSU. Yeah, it might be a long shot, but I do think there would be a chance to play them.

I’d put that billboard right across the street from the Big East league headquarters and then pay to have it stay there until . . .

They have over 31,000 votes! That’s a lot!!

If I had to guess, we're going to see an avalanche of BYU votes come in Friday morning. Keep the pressure up.

Interesting note, we are about 150 votes from where we got with the Wisc matchup, so Flyers being pretty consistent. Will likely take more than 35000 to win the whole thing.

I agree. John C called this round early saying MI vs tOSU were racking up serious votes. That matchup will probably see 40,000+ votes by each team. If this was only a measure of how passionately a fan base shows up and supports its team, UD wins by a mile. But it’s not.
This is about 50% passion and 50% a numbers game. You have to have both to win it. There is no handicap, so UD has to dominate the passion side because so far we have been matched up against schools with 3-4 times UDs enrollment.
Just keep voting and retweeting to push votes in. Thanks!

It's that OR there is so much more to do OUTSIDE in that area of the country than NY NJ OH etc this time of year.
Cooped in most places with no positive scenery vs Utah ... may could be the reason nobody there is paying much attention.

Flyer Faithful still lead BYU this evening. UD has 56.9% of the 71,348 votes cast, giving them a 9,846 vote lead over BYU.
Should UD maintain the lead through noon ET Thursday, they'll face either Kansas or Tennessee. With 59,852 votes cast, the Vols have 50.6% of the vote, giving them a 718 vote lead over the Jayhawks.
Staying on UD's side of the bracket:
-- Indiana leads UMBC with 50.8% of 57,637 votes cast -- a 922-vote lead
-- Illinois leads Kentucky with 52.9% of the 63,453 votes -- a 3680-vote lead
On the other side of the bracket, the big fight is between Michigan and Ohio State. A whopping 86,748 votes have come in with the Wolverines taking 50.5% -- a 867-vote lead over the Buckeyes.
Whoever wins that clash of the Titans will face the winner of Texas Tech and Syracuse. Out of 44,277 votes, TTU has claimed 53.1% giving them a 2,745-vote lead over the Orange.
Down bracket, UNC is scrambling to overtake Murray State. Right now, with 60,453 votes in the bank, the Racers hold 50.8% for a shrinking 967-vote cushion over the Tarheels.
The last match-up is between Purdue and Oregon. Out of 53,589 votes, the Boilers claim 51.8% for a 1929-vote lead over the Ducks.

It’s about 10 pm on Wednesday night. Mitt Romney sent out a call tovote about 4 hours ago. UD had an 11,515 vote advantage around 7 pm. Now BYU has cut our lead to 8300 votes.
Gonna need to jump on this Thursday morning and vote and retweet to win it. BYU is making a run, but I’m confident the Flyer Faithful will show up and stop them. We will need every vote. All the current numbers:
UD - 40,869 - 55.7%
BYU - 32,506 - 44.3%
Go Flyers. Push the vote!

While we slept, BYU was busy. Out of 85,771 votes, Dayton's lead has slipped to 50.8% -- just 1372 votes.
I put out the call on Twitter to the folks who helped get us past Wisconsin, and I'll ping my FB friends again in just a bit.

Somewhere in this whole thread someone asked about Jablonski. Well, he retweeted my call to arms. So that's something. Here's hoping that and other tweets help carry the day for UD.

I knew BYU would make a run using Romney’s 113,000 twitter followers. But I know the Flyer Faithful will respond. Keep retweeting the link and VOTE. Get us through to the Elite Eight!

Down to the last hour and a half and BYU is gearing up for a run...we have to do the same. Push the link out again and ask for BOTH a VOTE for UD and for your contacts to REWEET the request.
Here are the 10 min vote counts per team. UD won the last hour, but BYU just creamed us the last 10 min segment. Their Push is real. We need to respond.
9:01 - Votes the previous 10 minutes =
UD - 83 / BYU - 79
9:11 UD - 198 / BYU - 19
9:21 UD - 102 / BYU - 98
9:31 UD - 115 / BYU - 109
9:41 UD - 170 / BYU - 164
9:51 UD - 282 / BYU - 95
10:01 UD - 233 / BYU - 222
10:11 UD - 81 / BYU - 253

UD needs to get Univ of Utah fan base involved for the "hate" vote. Just tell them that of they don't vote for UD, BYU will get a billboard near their campus.

Just thought of something... tell people to vote for DAYTON (not UD). When you get retweets out 2-3 contact lists, there will be people who do not know what UD is. The bracket reads “Dayton”.
Thanks.

Ok, if you can’t get excited about beating BYU...how about this...
The Flyer Faithful have SHOWN UP. We are only 959 votes behind vote leader MI. We had the most votes in each of the first two rounds...
Retweet AGAIN and let’s score more votes than BOTH BYU and MI. 30 minutes left.

Great job Flyer Faithful. We went up against 3 schools that had 3-4 times the enrollment of UD —- and when you multiple that by 5 decades of alums, family, friends and co-workers, it’s a battle. But you SHOWED UP for THE FIGHT!
UD votes counts by round=
23,030 - 1st
35, 266 - 1st
48,918 - 3rd (MI= 49,357; BYU= 49,311)
Still and ALWAYS the BEST FANS in the country.

Man, oh man... Knew that BYU was gonna come after us at some point. Until it tied up, I was hoping that the lead we had last night would be big enough.
98,465 votes total. 49,134 for UD. More than OSU got against Michigan, and almost as many as Michigan. Still not enough to beat BYU.
I guess that means our basketball season is officially over. What a season!

I see CBS update final vote counts and percentages, so I’ll redo the above numbers.
UD-BYU had a total of 98,465 votes and UD closed the final percentage to 49.9 to 50.1

BYU won by 196 votes. 50.1% to 49.9% total 98,465 votes cast. 629 more votes than any other match up (MI vs tOSU)
Most votes cast this round.
MI - 49,357
BYU - 49,331
UD - 49,135
The consolation Prize...
We cast 756 more votes than tOSU in this round. And, they weren’t even top 5 in the first two rounds.
