GoZips88 Posted October 3, 2007 Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 Keep voting everyone ... so far, so good for Zippy this week but the Joe Bruin/Zippy battle seems to be heating up as we hit day 3. The Seymour/Cosmo contest is the only other one that is relatively (440 votes) close at this point but that contest has not experienced the big swings I've noticed in the Bruin/Zippy contest (Zippy up by 500 in the morning and then down slightly early the next morning).After being tied with Bruin at 5AM this morning, Zippy built a lead that seemed to peak at around 330 votes between 8-9AM. That lead has since dwindled to around 225 at 10:30AM. We have the advantage early in the day which should help us Monday morning. We are at a disadvantage later in the day given the time difference west of the Mississippi. Everyone needs to keep voting and remind others to keep voting. I think Zippy is REALLY going to begin to feel the pressure today and through at least the rest of the work week. I'm hoping we're close enough to Bruin Monday morning that another strong Monday morning push carries us through to another win. The key is to stay close and that is going to be tough assuming everyone else is out to spoil Zippy's perfect record. I know we're all getting tired of voting but keep it up!

skip-zip Posted October 3, 2007 Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 Good Points.Remember, we are not only facing UCLA fans, but also everyone else that is voting nationwide that wants to make sure Zippy gets a LOSS sometime soon. Monday morning has been the difference maker the last couple of weeks, but lets just make sure we keep an eye on this thing, and keep it close until then.

UAZipster0305 Posted October 3, 2007 Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 The temporal fluctuations are probably due to time zone differences where most people voting for UA are in the east and those for UCLA are in the west. Most people probably vote when they get into work, so... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoZips88 Posted October 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 5AM on Thursday ...Zippy is down by about 150 votes. We were tied yesterday morning at 5AM. My concern is that we're getting farther and farther behind as the days go by and it is going to make it a bit tougher to catch back up with a final push on Monday. We'll see ...

GoZips88 Posted October 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 8:10AM Thursday ... Zippy and Bruin are tied once again.Time to build that 200-300 vote cushion in anticipation of the late-day push Bruin will get this evening. Imperative that everyone continues to vote through the weekend and is ready to go Monday morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoZips88 Posted October 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 WOW ... awesome job erasing a 5AM 150-vote deficit and bouncing out to a 350-vote lead by 10:15AM.Keep it up folks. It's going to come down to the last punches thrown Monday morning again this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skip-zip Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 A 4-0 start should pretty much allow us to cruise to a playoff spot. Let's finish this week strong!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZachTheZip Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 A 4-0 start should pretty much allow us to cruise to a playoff spot. Let's finish this week strong!! Don't be so sure. There are 11 matchups, requireing us to win at least 6 of them.If we start 4-0, they will be gunning for us so hard that we wouldn't stand a chance.Winning this week is crucial, but the next few weeks are the meat of the schedule against the toughest opponents.

GoZips88 Posted October 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 11AM Thursday, , and Zippy's lead so far today has grown to 420 votes. I would expect to see that begin to erode but let's keep plugging away.As I said in a previous post, I hope voting fatigue and apathy set in for a few of the schools represented. There is a 2000+ differential in two of the contests this week and a 1000+ differential in two more. It would be nice if some voters resign themselves to either defeat or victory and take a rest until round 5. The less help for Bruin the better.GO ZIPPY!
