It's been us and Western Carolina from the start. Where did Ohio U come from? I smell a voting bot.

Just dropped in 100 and got this on my 100th, in private mode with Brave Browser. Interesting.

Oh, and we are still 2. Someone did some work last night.

Now we’re down to #3.

KBLEE · 2026-08-06T09:05:12-0500

We're #3 now...

Who can cook the books better. USA Today doesn't care, just keep visiting is all they ask.

Still #3 - boo hoo!

Well, it looks like it’s VPN (and bot) time. It may take the competition a while to catch on but I’d say they have at this point.

Looks like we need to unleash HAL 9000. I don’t have any contacts at the computer lab. Does anyone?

These college marching bands keep the beat, ignite the crowd, and make an entrance that rivals that of top-billed musical artists.
