www.seniorCLASSaward.com

Thanks for the link. I was wondering about this year's Senior Class Award... especially with all of the attention that Jon's been getting. I just voted, Jon's in the lead... gotta keep this going :) They tell you to "vote again tomorrow".

[juise]

Here's a more direct link (http://www.seniorclassaward.com/vote/mens_basketball_2009/) for those who will be returning daily and want to save some clicks. :)

[superdave]

Scheyer barely in the lead with 25.5%.

[94duke]

Not leading anymore.

[Lord Ash]

Sorry, but to me this award means nothing except one player's fans figured out how to use the internet more effectively.

[OZZIE4DUKE]

From an email I got from Duke. You know what to do!

Lowes Senior Class Award


Senior standouts Joy Cheek and Jon Scheyer were both named as finalists for the Lowe's Senior CLASS Awards. To be eligible for the award, a student-athlete must be classified as an NCAA Division I senior and have notable achievements in four areas of excellence - classroom, character, community and competition.

Part of the voting is by fans. Fans can vote by going online or text messaging their vote once a day through March 22nd. VOTE TODAY!

TO VOTE FOR JOY CHEEK:

[KenTankerous]

Jon's back in the lead!

[Jumbo]

BTTT -- You can vote every day. Let's push the lead and make sure they at least win the fan portion of the vote.

[airowe]

We've got some competition here.

http://mbd.scout.com/mb.aspx?s=78&f=1410&t=5580397

Can we pin this to the top of the board?

[superdave]

Bump

2nd place right now.

[RockLobster]

How the hell is Chris Kramer leading?! His stats pale in comparison to Jon's...

[Festus]

The UNC fans are "stuffing the ballot box" for Kramer per the IC board.

[RockLobster]

Well, I suppose that's why fan balloting only counts for 1/3rd of the vote. Don't they have anything better to do?

[RainingThrees]

Well, I suppose that's why fan balloting only counts for 1/3rd of the vote. Don't they have anything better to do?

Well they have been trashing their own players for the last few weeks, so I guess they got tired of that and decided the only thing that could make them happy would be some good ole Duke hating. I don't think any amount of Duke hating will be a cure for this season though.

[KenTankerous]

I'm not a fan of poll skewing as I think we should be more democratic and let the people's voice be heard. But by damnit, Jon is the definition of the Lowe's Senior Class Award and I'm thinking of renting a few laptops just to have extra IP addresses on which to vote for Jon.

Vote early, vote often.

In other words, bump.

[airowe]

VOTE!

[Gewebe14]

I don't know about you guys but I often skip over the sticky threads and forgot to look at this for a few days... Should we unsticky but post frequently? Also, I just had to look up who Chris Kramer was....

[Jumbo]

No longer sticky. But everyone here had better remember to vote every day. There's simply no way we should allow the Purdue fans (with help from the Heels) to push Kramer to the top. Let's go!

[davekay1971]

The UNC fans are "stuffing the ballot box" for Kramer per the IC board.

Why don't they just vote for Marcus Ginyard or Deon Thompson...oh, right, because they aren't nominated.

9F

[RainingThrees]

Scheyer is now down to 20% and Kramer is up to 30%. Its hard when Purdue and Holes fans are voting for Kramer and its just us voting for Scheyer.

[Gewebe14]

Don't forget to vote today everyone - we are looking pathetic right now

[Jumbo]

Folks, step it up! Forward this to everyone you know. It's really not hard to vote once a day. Get this posted on other Duke sites. Let's go!

[superdave]

Scheyer dropped below 20%. C'mon peoples.

[Jumbo]

Seriously, this is embarrassing. Pass this along to everyone you know. It's just one vote a day from every computer you have. Takes a second of your time. Let's do this!

[DevilHorns]

Probably the wrong thread (ok, definitely the wrong thread), but http://espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball/
shows an insider link comparing Scheyer to Nash!

[Gewebe14]

After last night we need to vote especially hard

[GLTBD]

Please remember to vote daily for both Jon and Joy they need votes.

[HateCarolina]

Bump!!

We need to put some serious votes in here...it looks like the Purdue faithful have been hard at work already....:eek:

[Jumbo]

Seriously, this is embarrassing. E-mail every Duke fan you know. Is this posted on TDD? I know Purdue and Carolina are ganging up together, but we simply can't let this happen.

[HateCarolina]

Bump again....remember you can vote once each and every day.

Make it a routine. Jon deserves this award!!

[scheyersbiggestfan]

Let's bring this one back up to the top...

[livehead16]

just wanted to point out that the original text information listed to vote for jon is incorrect. the actual way to vote for him is to text M9 to 74567. you can do that once per day in addition to voting from your computer(s) once per day.

we've got an uphill battle in the voting, but i'm taking solace in the fact that there's no way the media and coaches will choose kramer. so if jon can at least finish second in the voting, that should help his overall cause.

[airowe]

bump. This should always be on the front page.

[airowe]

Every time you vote, roy williams goes a little more insane.

[weezie]

Why isn't this pinned?

[Jumbo]

Why isn't this pinned?

People complained that they don't notice stickies. Better to keep bumping it up ourselves. Has anyone started any sort of viral voting campaign on Facebook or somewhere else?

[77devil]

Bump

Please vote again and again and again.

[juise]

I'm voting from home and work every day. I encourage everyone to vote as much as possible. Having said that, I will point out that the voting only counts for 1/3 of the award (the other 2/3 is coaches and media members). We lost a poll-skewing battle in 2008 when Chris Lofton beat out Demarcus Nelson in the Senior CLASS voting. And yet, Vandy's Shan Foster won the award.

So keep voting, but don't lose heart!

What can we do to get more support? We're dealing with the combo of Purdue+UNC fans (and maybe other Duke haters) skewing for Kramer. Can we recruit Indiana fans against Kramer? Do we just need a really good viral campaign? Some sort of Facebook group that targets Duke students and alums? I'm not good with stuff like this, but someone must have an idea.

In case you were curious, here are the current stats for the Cousy Award:

Which player should win the Cousy Award?

Answer: Sherron Collins - Kansas Total Votes: 7.7%
Answer: Devan Downey - South Carolina Total Votes: 4.7%
Answer: Trevon Hughes - Wisconsin Total Votes: 3.5%
Answer: Jeremy Lin - Harvard Total Votes: 24.6%
Answer: Kalin Lucas - Michigan State Total Votes: 0.4%
Answer: Ronald Moore - Siena Total Votes: 15.0%
Answer: Scottie Reynolds - Villanova Total Votes: 0.2%
Answer: Jon Scheyer - Duke Total Votes: 5.6%
Answer: Greivis Vasquez - Maryland Total Votes: 4.4%
Answer: John Wall - Kentucky Total Votes: 31.0%

In other words, Wall, Lin, Moore, and Collins are leading Jon.

[Fish80]

Anybody have an in with the KS folks?

Are the Crazie tenters pulling their weight on this?

[Jumbo]

BTTT. C'mon, folks!

[Gewebe14]

Bump - keep voting. We really need to expand our efforts on this.

[Jumbo]

Bump.

[airowe]

If you vote, Nova and Purdue will lose.

[ivydevil]

If you vote, Nova and Purdue will lose.

Nova lost! It worked.

[RoyalBlue08]

Does anyone know how the score is kept for this award? I can't find it anywhere on the site. I realize fan voting only plays a part, and there are other factors. What I don't know is if there is consideration given for say, 1st, 2nd, and 3rd in fan voting or all that matters is first place. I have tried to remember to vote everyday, but it seems as though Jon might be locked into 2nd place. If second place means something that it is worth it to keep voting just to assure that he doesn't fall any lower.

[Newton_14]

Hey, sorry if this is a double post but I didn't see it linked anywhere else. Be sure to vote for Jon and Joy every day!

http://www.seniorclassaward.com/vote/mens_basketball_2009/

Here is the link again for convenience. Please vote folks.

[Jumbo]

Another day, another chance to vote. Let's do this.

[livehead16]

Jon's percentage points have crept up a tiny bit in the past couple of days, which is the first time they've increased in about two weeks. Hopefully the heel fans are getting tired of voting - I'm of the opinion that it's harder to sustain the effort to vote every single day when you're doing it out of spite than when you're doing it for positive reasons.

Also, I was able to get an answer from the award folks on an end date - voting goes through March 22nd. So we've got a long way to go, but that gives us a better chance to outlast the haters.

[Jumbo]

Everyone tell one person you know to vote along with you. Easy way to double the votes, I'd say. And if you're feeling really frisky, find two people! ;)

[94duke]

Looks like voting has ended.

No, voting is still going on. You can vote once per day.

[94duke]

No, voting is still going on. You can vote once per day.

That is so weird! I have been voting (almost) every day. Earlier this morning it said that voting had closed. It didn't say I had already voted. It actually said voting was closed. Anyway, now it doesn't, and I have voted. :)

[livehead16]

*bump*

Jon somehow picked up an entire percentage point overnight. Let's keep it going...

[GLTBD]

Please remember to vote for Jon and Joy

[94duke]

Jon's percentage keeps climbing. :)

Here's a more direct link (http://www.seniorclassaward.com/vote/mens_basketball_2009/) for those who will be returning daily and want to save some clicks. :)

Scheyer's numbers are rising. Vote. Then vote again tomorrow.

[Jumbo]

We're gaining a few tenths of a percent every day. Keep doing what you're doing, then call one more friend and get him/her to do it, too. We've got about 3 weeks to catch up. With a little help, we can do it.

[Jumbo]

Come on, folks, there's no reason for this to ever fall off the first page. Vote, post, repeat.

[94duke]

I'm still voting.
Go Jon!

Let's track this sucker and see how long it takes to move the needle.
5:19 ET: Kramer 33.5%, Scheyer 19.4%.

[livehead16]

[airowe]

BTTT

[RoyalBlue08]

Up to 19.5

[Baxter the Lab]

Kramer down .10 of a point.

The faster Jon rises, the more Kramer will drop.

This can still be done.

this is starting to be like jon's quest for 2,000 - from "highly unlikely" to "well... maybe" to "we can do this!". the kid's a gamer, even when he's not directly involved. ;)

I believe all of the other candidates are static, so if we can get our people to concentrate and vote, we can get Jon up there where he belongs. Get with it, people!:mad::cool:

I've already voted today, but I've got the voting link on my tool bar to remind me to vote every day.

[Newton_14]

Keep voting guys. Slowly but surely Jon's percentage is creeping closer to the top. Make it a point to vote everyday. Put a reminder in your calendar to flag you to vote daily including weekends.

Also, when you go in to vote please remember to vote for Joy Cheek as well!

[Baxter the Lab]

How are we losing ground?


Reminder to vote was posted on TDD. There are more Heel fans there than Duke fans. That, of course, leads to a 'reminder' on IC.

Unbridled hate, it appears, is quite the motivator.

[livehead16]

Looks like you can vote after the clock strikes midnight, no matter when you voted the day before...

Worth noting - the web voting runs on calendar day and on East Coast time. So being in the Pacific time zone, I can vote again every night after 9pm. The text messaging is a little less definitive. Sometimes it'll let me vote right after 9, sometimes not.

Also, still rising:
Jon 20.6%
Kramer 33.5%

Jon Scheyer 20.8%

Kramer has picked up another .2% (possibly due to having a big senior night game on Wednesday, possibly because the Heel fans are paying attention again for a minute), while Jon has slipped back .1%. I know we're all focused on Saturday's game, but let's not forget to vote!

Has anyone explained how exactly it was the Sherron Collins didn't qualify for this award? Because he's a pretty darn good senior basketball player. Better than Chris Kramer, that's for sure.

[SCMatt33]

Off the court stuff is just as important as performance for the award. It isn't simply a senior's only POY.

How does this thread keep falling off the first page? Get to work, its Kramer at 34.3%, Scheyer at 20.8%. Another notable missing senior is Scottie Reynolds, btw.

[livehead16]

Jon got a big bump overnight, possibly due to them adding in the text votes (they do that twice a week). Current standings: Jon 21.4%, Kramer 34.1%. Please keep voting!!

[superdave]

Vote.
Kramer up to 34.6%

[johnb]

I've voted for Jon.

At the same time, the inner social scientist in me found it interesting that half of the ten finalists are white (which seemed high), but then I read that almost 40% of NCAA basketball players are white (which also seemed high), and given graduation rates and the fact that the best players (most of whom are African American) are gone by senior year, the 5/10 thing didn't strike me as especially racial, though I was also struck that the white players have received over 70% of the online voting despite being only 50% of the group. Perhaps the whole thing is unremarkable, but, if I were African American, I might be tempted to remark on it (well, I guess I've been tempted to remark on it already) and stick it in the file folder under "society remains racially polarized even though the data aren't crystal clear."

[noyac]

I have been voting by text and internet for about a week now and it does not seem to be helping. I can't imagine there are that many people voting for Kramer?

Congratulations to De'Sean Butler for winning the Lowe's Senior Class Award (http://www.seniorclassaward.com/). Apparently, it was just awarded/announced on Saturday. I'm sure many of us heard it mentioned during the Final Four game.

I'm disappointed that all of our voting efforts didn't help Jon get the award, but I'm not surprised. The voting doesn't really seem to mean much, despite what the website says. I know Jon would trade team success for the award any day.
