Apparently the Memphis vote is coming strong.

Keith Lee for best college career and Grizzlies for favorite team???? :huh:

 

[orangetd88]

I know, that is why I posted this here. I doubt anyone remembers Keith Lee outside of Memphis. LOL

 

[milohimself]

There are some goofy answers there.

 

[VolBeef88]

Who is Keith Lee?!? And the Grizzlies?!? Hell most people outside of Memphis don't even know 2 or 3 players. Gimmee a break. We need votes on there so we are not embarrassed as a state.

 

[orangetd88]

The Memphis vote is definitely being represented at this point.

 

[Orange-Neck]

I think I'm the only one who voted for Al Gore in the poll :laugh1:

 

[surrealvol]

I voted and represented the Volunteer programs well!

 

[milohimself]

I did the Oregon vote... I knew the vote for best homegrown product would be between Danny Ainge and Steve Prefontaine, but Pre has nearly 60% of the vote.

Must be a link to a Grizzlies board somewhere. Freakin' disgusting to have such a half rate pro franchise ahead of a historic proud institution like Tennessee VOLS football.

Still losing to the Grizzlies. :shakehead:

 

[orangetd88]

Now Neyland is second to the Liberty Bowl. LOL...what a joke.

 

[kiddiedoc]

Already posted my disgust in a related thread.

Summary: Memphis LOSES at basketball: 62%
Tennessee wins undefeated National Championship: 26%

If that doesn't blow any credibility this poll was supposed to have, I don't know what could. And, the Liberty Bowl over Neyland??? That's like taking Western Sizzlin' over Ruth's Chris.

Maybe next year's will have another option:
Tennessee Vols crush Memphis 98-0 en route to a second NC in 8 years.

 

[VolFantotheBone]

I did my part for the beloved orange and white

 

[duckman398686]

can you vote more than once???

 

[cookeville_vol]

Yes you can, Ive voted three or four times.

 

[orangetd88]

I've voted about 15 times. LOL

 

[kiddiedoc]

I've put my share in, but with almost 50,000 votes, it will take a bunch of us!!!!

(there just may be a little trick involving the "back" button on your web browser. . . )
