Thanks for fixing link ....

Voted!

Hate to be a debbie downer but in the last round, we won with almost 2500 total votes. The contest between Kentucky's Ho Burger and Purdue's Boilermaker Pete was 29,276 to 28,271 - a full magnitude greater number votes!

haha good point about the quality of burritos in the great state of Montana! We can't lose to them! I'll be tweeting out the link ... let's beat the burrito!

Vote early...vote often!

p.s. I don't know how any of those other food items can beat a regular old fashion American hot dog.

Isn't there some sort of computer IT whiz kid in house who can write a program to vote a gizzilion times? How are they tracking this, by IP address?

Just voted. We're down 316 to 360 against the Montana Burrito. A clash of the Titans.

Why is this Montana Burrito even allowed in the competition? Has anyone from Mexico ever visited Montana? (and spare me the "The burrito is a California invention", "You are a Montana hater (hatter?)", "You are a burrito hater", etc. diatribes - I've heard 'em all).

Done

We're getting our butts kicked! Maybe someone can get Coach Dykes or Marshawn Lynch or Alex Morgan to tweet this out

Just voted twice- we're getting our @ss handed to us. Everyone needs to man up.

Montana just surged ahead with over 700 votes, doubling our total.

As far as I can tell, it is just a breakfast burrito. Bacon, eggs and salsa in a flour tortilla. Nothing special. I can't see anything in it that is different from any breakfast burrito anywhere. [U]The ingredients are almost certainly trucked to Montana from Northern California.[/U] I'm sure many Montana students have fond memories of them getting through hangovers with the things, but they are just breakfast burritos. Top Dog is not just any hot dog.

WTF? Are there even 700 people in the entire State of Montana? I demand an investigation.

earth to eecs sos

they definitely got some script running as it is getting a vote every couple seconds.

I'll just leave this here. :rolleyes:

Somebody wrote some script and posted for that poll on the sacramento bee website listing which colleges shaq thompson and armstead should go I believe. We dominated that poll b/c of it.

We're getting crushed

1179 to 500

That was me, among others. Not sure I'll have time this week...

Excuse me? You don't have the time...

For something this important?

Shhhh

This is no longer about hot dogs and burritos......

let the bot wars begin.

If any one is curious here is the url that casts the vote for top dog:


"http://polls.polldaddy.com/vote-js.php?p=6994156&b=2&a=31739091,&o=&va=0&cookie=1&n=55553a4bc7|961&url=http%3A//blog.cookingchanneltv.com/2013/03/27/elite-8-best-college-eats/"

But there is a gotcha. &n=55553a4bc7|961 this parameter is a salted hash concatenated with a nonce value. It seems this hash refreshes every 1000 votes.

Thats it for me. I need to get back to work. Haha.

There must be some military group in China hacking that site.

Otherwise 9th circuit bear needs to uncover this new Stanfurd led plot.

Update:

University of Montana: Griz Breakfast Burrito 72.53% (2,973 votes)


UC Berkeley: Top Dog Frankfurter 27.47% (1,126 votes)



Total Votes: 4,099

That's a shame. Top Dog is mighty nice, but honestly, I would rank it behind I.B. Hoagies.

Yep, surely one of those Chinese military groups who loves their breakfast burritos. Lets beat those commie/burrito-loving bastards

Yeah, this poll is not nearly as straightforward to bypass its fairness measures.

It's actually a breakfast burrito, so they may have some legitimacy there.

I wrote a script to spam them with a few thousand votes. Either it doesn't work, or it takes them a while to update...

Edit: It would appear they block by IP address. I'm requesting a new cookie cookie each time, and my votes aren't being tallied so it definitely is an IP address block.
