"The Lowe’s Senior CLASS Award was inspired by the story of former Duke star Shane Battier."

:D :D :D :D

[dukegirlinsc]

Demarcus is in the lead as of 9:16 this AM.
He has 45% of the votes, compared to the 2nd place contender, Chris Lofton, with 28%.

[captmojo]

My vote's in.

[bigj4194]

mine too...he has 44% so far

[EasternDB]

Voted...

[camcraz25]

You can vote every day too!

[DangerDevil]

Lofton is closing in on DeMarcus, 37% to 39%

[mehmattski]

He's fallen behind Lofton! Come on people, get the vote out!

[Summie444]

I voted but Demarcus is now trailing Lofton 38% to 39%!

[Johnboy]

I voted but Demarcus is now trailing Lofton 38% to 39%!

He's still trailing Lofton.

[Acymetric]

I should go to the computer lab and log onto all the computers there...when does voting end?

[BlueDevilBaby]

40 to 37. Come on, people!

[Clipsfan]

Why does it have DM with an 11.7 ppg average?

[killerleft]

Why does it have DM with an 11.7 ppg average?

Excellent question!

[Clipsfan]

Hmm, it looks like his average was 11.7 after the Dec 8th game against Michigan. I'd guess the data was just entered then.

I read Lofton's blurb and I thought that DM's sounded much better. The praise for Lofton was that he doesn't badmouth the schools near him that didn't recruit him.

[Fish80]

Maybe one of the mods can sticky this to the top, so it doesn't drop down too far and posters can see it.

Get out the vote! Tell all your friends!

Maybe someone can contact them and get them to update the stats?

[dukebballcamper90-91]

Lofton is leading markie 44% to 32%. Come folks vote and vote every day

[Bluedog]

Maybe someone can contact them and get them to update the stats?

I contacted them via e-mail, but haven't heard back yet....

[34dukegal]

Voted

[Dunkin]

I voted and it's 44 for Lofton and 32 for Demarcus. Maybe because Lofton is on the home page he's getting the votes.

[Dunkin]

Ooops! Just noticed it does change.

[Taco]

voted at work, voting at home, bumping!

[ArkieDukie]

Markie is behind Lofton as of now (45% to 31%). Vote early, vote often!

[DukeDevilDeb]

Let's get DeMarcus this well deserved honor. Each of us is allowed to vote once a day. Right now, Chris Lofton of Tennessee is leading with 45% of the vote. DeMarcus is second at 31%. No one else is even close. Voting ends March 21st, and it is important to keep voting for our favorite Blue Devil Captain!

Go to www.seniorclassaward.com/votelist.aspx to cast your ballot.

Go Devils!!!! Go DeMarcus!!!

[ArkieDukie]

I can't vote again yet - the site will only let you vote 24 hrs after you cast your last vote. Everyone, please help keep this thread on the first page so we'll all remember to vote!

[killerleft]

Several of us emailed the site about the incorrect Nelson ppg average, and it seems to be current now, at 15.1. Keep voting!

[camcraz25]

Just voted again, Lofton 44% Nelson 30%..wonder if there are just a lot of Duke haters out there voting for Lofton..

[DukePA]

Just voted again, Lofton 44% Nelson 30%..wonder if there are just a lot of Duke haters out there voting for Lofton..

[365Duke]

Chris Lofton (Tennessee) 36%
DeMarcus Nelson (Duke University) 34%

[yancem]

Vote early vote often :)

[BCGroup]

Since we're limited to one vote per 24 hours, I decided to try something different from my home computer--once in Mozilla/Firefox, once in my old Internet Explorer browser, and that worked. So, let's keep voting.

[Pam]

I emailed my Duke grad daughter in Iraq and told her and her husband to vote and hopefully they can get the whole company to vote. I had this helps him. If we can get most of the 3rd ID to vote for him, it should help!!!!

[devildeac]

two computers=two votes today. I may try several different work stations tomorrow:D

[dukepsy1963]

We need an all-out effort!! You can vote each day...so do it!!
DM is trailing right now by only 1%!!! Let's push well ahead....
Come on!!!!!!

[devildeac]

Don't let the 1 vote /24 hours stop anyone. I have visited 3 work stations already today and cast my 3 ballots and plan on visiting several more before the day is over:D . Get your friends and co-workers involved! Make it a family project!

[Fish80]

Still 36% Lofton, 34% DeMarcus. Get out the vote!

[dukepsy1963]

DeMarcus is still trailing, but barely!!! Come on!!! We can make up the difference and pull ahead. You can vote every 24 hours. Got two or three machines?

We don't want to lose this one because of laziness!!!! Put those points on the board!!!!

[ArnieMc]

As mentioned before, you can vote once with each browser. I vote from IE, Netscape, and Firefox from home and office each day.

[killerleft]

I have 6 votes in so far. Everybody keep voting!

[SilkyJ]

#2 is in.

Lofton 36%

Nelson 33%

Come on guys we can do this!

[bigj4194]

35%-33% lofton-nelson

[devildeac]

As mentioned before, you can vote once with each browser. I vote from IE, Netscape, and Firefox from home and office each day.

Slacker. I have voted 5 times already today and have not been home yet:D .

I was Artie twice yesterday-dare I take a chance and post again and risk my Chief status?

[pamtar]

For some reason I think their is a thread on a Tennessee message board that mirrors this one.

Either that or those tools over at IC are just voting for whomever has the best chance to beat D.

Quick! Name the last senior who started for the holes.

[juise]

Quick! Name the last senior who started for the holes.

Off the top of my head... Jawad?

[pamtar]

Could be.

He does win the award for dumbest name ever. :D

[365Duke]

it does. The new thing over there is to clear your cookies and you can vote as many times as you would like. One dude claims he voted over 100 times today:eek:

[pamtar]

Off the top of my head... Jawad?

David Noel?

If so, who was it before that?

[devildeac]

got my 6 votes in for the day-I am done(until tomorrow, that is:D )

[Taco]

DeMarcus gaining goooooooooooooo keep it up

[Taco]

it does. The new thing over there is to clear your cookies and you can vote as many times as you would like. One dude claims he voted over 100 times today:eek:

Not that anyone was going to, but DO NOT do this. It's pretty easy to detect and if the people running this for Lowes are remotely competent, these votes will get deleted.


Besides, cheaters never win. Except in 2005 and 1993 ZZZZZING

[juise]

Another day, another vote. 32% for Lofton, 30% for Demarcus.

[johnb]

http://basketball.seniorclassaward.com/public/men/vote.aspx?usr=public&gen=M

still 32-30%, Lofton ahead...

[-jk]

Just clear your cookies after each vote, and vote again and again!

[Ben63]

You can also vote multiple times if you have more than 1 browser. I have IE and Firefox and was able to vote twice.

[bigj4194]

32-31% Lofton is ahead...keep voting!

[Shammrog]

32-31% Lofton is ahead...keep voting!

C'mon, you all! It is still a 1% difference. REFUSE TO LOSE.

[wumhenry]

The greater emphasis on the off-court achievements of the candidate reflects Lowe’s commitment to helping young people build successful careers and encouraging students to use their skills to make an impact in life.
I know nothing about DM's off-court achievements, except that he made it to his senior year without flunking out, and I'm not sure how tough that is for a scholarship BB player. Is he on track to graduate?

[dukegirlinsc]

still behind lofton by 1% as of 9:22 pm.

[Taco]

Woah guys, hold your horses. Looks like we should be voting for Roy Hibbert instead. Just look at this glowing praise:

http://img150.imageshack.us/img150/1279/hibbertnt5.jpg

;)

[wumhenry]

I should've read the info in the website on DM's off-court achievements before popping off. He's got my vote.

[dukepsy1963]

How many of you have not voted yet? I suspect many.... We are only down by a point right now!!!

Come on, do it for Markie!!!!! Vote!!!

[Dunkin]

Still 32-31 for Lofton. Keep voting!

[camcraz25]

Now he's down by 2%..33% to 31%

[wumhenry]

FWIW, am I the only one with a sneaking suspicion that the guy from Butler (with 4% of the vote) is the only real scholar in the bunch? You don't major in math if you're faking it.
I voted for him AND Markie today.

[DukeBasketballFan]

http://www.godukebasketball.com

Keep voting for DeMarcus Nelson for the Senior Lowe's Class Award. He is still in second but not far behind Chris Lofton (Tennessee). Did anyone figure out how long the voting lasts?

[4decadedukie]

Captain Nelson tied for first place with 31 percent (0440, 15 February).

[dukemath]

Keep it up. He's up to 32% over Lofton with 31%.

[terrih]

'Bout time. I spent a 1/2 hour last night (6 PST) clearing my cache and voting repeatedly.... Never saw his % move. I now have the voting page as my home page, so i will continue to vote each day..

Markie's behind again... 32-31. :(

[DukieBoy]

demarcus is down 32 31 as of 8:03 Sunday

[Ben63]

After tonights game against Wake, should I still vote for him?? He was bad.

I will anyway he's the only Dukie to vote for.

[johnb]

After tonights game against Wake, should I still vote for him?? He was bad.

I will anyway he's the only Dukie to vote for.

When I think of "bad," I tend to think of somebody who didn't try or who blew up emotionally or who made a series of big mistakes.

Markie scored 15 points in the first half, hauled down a bunch of rebound against bigger guys, and hung in there like a warrior. Would he have liked to have made more free throws and hit more of those shots in the last 10"? Hmmm, let's guess. Perhaps you don't think he worked out hard enough during the off season, but perhaps you remember that he worked out with a frikkin' Navy Seal last summer, is in incredible shape, and specifically made a point of practicing his free throws and ball handling.

In other words, I don't let someone off easily who tosses of a line like, "he was bad." He wasn't perfect, but he gave it a good shot. If all you can say is that "he's the only Dukie to vote for," just don't vote.

[johnb]

Hmm.. Now I read that Ben is a high school student, so perhaps I'll rephrase: when tossing out criticisms of good guys who sweat every day with "Duke"s on their chests, it is probably wise to be very specific about your concerns. Kind of like with kids. Markie isn't "bad," but he had trouble with his ft's and his finishing and made a couple of regrettable fouls. And perhaps add in a bit about how our expectations have become remarkably high, given that this team wasn't expected to even compete for the ACC championship but has done so in the context of Nelson being our best player.

[SharkD]

Since there aren't any Lady Blue Devils in the running, I'd appreciate it if DBRers who would otherwise not vote on the women's side would take a moment to vote for Sarah-Jo Lawrence (George Washington University)?

http://basketball.seniorclassaward.com/public/women/vote.aspx?usr=public&gen=F

[camcraz25]

still down 32-31

They really need to go down to tenths of a percent in their results. I'm not sure our votes are being tallied at all.

[pamtar]

One of my conformation codes was 9FE39F.

[camcraz25]

yikes, now it's 32-30 ...there must be some serious TN fans voting, or Duke haters voting so Demarcus doesn't win

[SilkyJ]

probably all of the above. I have a good idea for how to get him more votes...I'll post it tonight after work.

[godukerocks]

Let's hack into the system and remove Lofton.

You can renew your IP address and vote again all day. It's very easy from a command prompt, or you can write a quick batch file that will do it automatically every time you run it.

I am bitter towards UT fans, one chucked a beer bottle at my head during an SC/UT football game a few years back. I was around 15 years old. Cool guy.

[yancem]

I've now voted several times but I'm starting to feel like Lofton is going to hold onto this one :(

[weezie]

We need a huge push. Everybody!

[camcraz25]

31-30 but I bet that 1% is thousands of votes. I wish they'd give that stat!

[-jk]

Maybe Billybreen can write a script that lets us just enter the code over and over.

But that would be gamesmanship rather than sportsmanship.

[dukegirlinsc]

It's still hanging out at 31-30%. :mad:

[dukegirlinsc]

And now D's down by 2%.

:(

It is now 32 - 29!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :mad: :eek:

[jmorris435]

VOTE PEOPLE. I am sure we are facing much more than UT fans, but just vote,vote,vote. And do not give up! DeMarcus has never given up on us!

[adam]

DeMarcus is now trailing Chris Lofton of Tennessee by 3% (32-29). Let's get this taken care of. We got it done for Shane, Alana, JJ, and Alison. DeMarcus is next... Keep voting!

[godukerocks]

31-30, Nelson only down by one now.

Come on guys!

[SilkyJ]

Nelson is back down by 2 % points.

[Johnny B]

Any idea when this will end?

[camcraz25]

Still tied Sun afternoon. I wish we knew when it would end. Maybe TN fans forgot about it ... Is the winner solely based on fan voting or is there some committee who factors this into the results?

[Jarhead]

The leaders are now tied @ 30%. I you haven't voted today, do it now, and tomorrow, too. Vote for Markie!

Guys, when the above group was created (middle of last week) Demarcus was down by 3% pts, and had been hovering at 2-3% points behind for several weeks. Now its tied!

Since then (in 5 days) they have amassed over 230 people to the group and are not only spreading the word but letting people know (and reminding them) to vote everyday AND ONCE ON EACH BROWSER. I truly believe that by spreading the word and educating about voting in each browser, how to clear your cookies, etc. they are making a big difference. as in several hundred votes PER DAY difference. And that's only in 5 days. If you havent joined please do and spread the word to your friends.

All this work is really making a difference guys. well done!

[DukeDevilDeb]

I just completed my daily ritual of voting for DeMarcus (which you can and should do at http://basketball.seniorclassaward.com/public/men/vote.aspx?KEY=&DB_OEM_ID=4200&DB_LANG=&IN_SUBSCRIBER_CONTENT=

and noticed that DeMarcus and Chris Lofton are tied.

Come on, let's get this for Markie. Go Duke!:)

[camcraz25]

I joined the facebook group and invited about 80 people to join. I think 4 of my invites have joined already.

six votes from three computer with two browser.

[DukeDevilDeb]

I cast my vote for DeMarcus in the Lowe's Senior Class award on Firefox and they were tied: 30% each. But they had Chris Lofton listed first.

When I opened Internet Explorer and cast my vote there (I cast 3 votes a day on each of my 3 computers), DeMarcus had jumped to the top of the list. They still both have 30%, but apparently DeMarcus now has a higher count.

Come on, everyone. Let's get this for the Captain! :)

http://basketball.seniorclassaward.com/public/men/vote.aspx?usr=public&gen=M

Ok, so the clearing cookies/data method is working again. In case anyone was having the same problems as me. Demarcus is still on top!

[DukeDevilDeb]

Demarcus is now down an entire percentage point, come on people, start voting!

Chris Lofton is ahead by an entire point. Even my 3 votes on 3 computers isn't enough. You need to vote too!

[ArkieDukie]

I have been voting for 2 players: DeMarcus and Sean Singletary. I have a great deal of respect for his career at UVA and dont think he should be in last place.

[devildeac]

2 votes for Markie from me today-now tied at 31% each. vote early, vote often...

Come on, Lofton is up by 1 full percentage point... this is something WE can do for DeMarcus.

Vote early
Vote often
Vote DeMarcus

[weezie]

We've got a real battle going on with TN.

[Jarhead]

We've got a real battle going on with TN.
...and I don't understand why. Maybe UT has more fans. We usually can skew just about any poll. I believe that Markie's stats are better than Lofton on most measures, so you'd think Markie would be in 1st place. Onward Duke U skewers.

It is kinda late on the east coast but I know OZZIE is out there lurking and waiting to post at 2 or 3 AM. Let's get our midwest and mountain time zone fans involved and skew this one some more. Markie has dropped back by 1%.

[bluepenguin]

I just voted 10 times this morning (using firefox and clearing private data) and Markie is still a percentage point down.
This ain't the presidential race - you should not ignore it. Your vote actually does count in this one.

[johnb]

Still down a point. Remember to vote for DeMarcus and 2 others who aren't Lofton.

http://basketball.seniorclassaward.com/public/men/vote.aspx?usr=public&gen=M

[adam]

Markie is now down by 2% (33-31). Let's not let this slip away. Vote now!

[Bluedog]

Just for all of your information, the online fan voting isn't the only determining factor in who wins the award. DMarc could come in second and still win. From the press release: "Fan balloting will be coupled with votes from coaches and media to determine the male and female recipients." http://basketball.seniorclassaward.com/Basketball/68/news.aspx

Obviously, we want to help him as much as we can, but this isn't the only decisive vote. I heard it counts 25% from somebody else, but haven't been able to verify that. Also, don't know how the 25% is weighted. Based on percent? Rank (1st or 2nd)? If percent, they're going to end up close either way, so it will come down to the other voters. I'm voting a lot anyways! Just wanted to clarify that up!

[Bluedog]

Now down 4%! 34-30. Need a major push to get back in this!

[adam]

Markie is still down by 4%, 34-30. Let's get this turned around... Vote now!

[Lotus000]

The Captain is down 30% to 34% to Lofton for the Lowe's senior CLASS award.

Go get him some superdelegates!! Vote now!

Lofton's up 5% now: 35-30%.

Get voting, people.

I've voted THREE times today. I'm in a computer lab waiting on other machines to open up....

[BCGroup]

36% to 30% this morning. Definitely falling behind.

[barjwr]

Margin is now up to 7--36-29%.

VOTE!!!

[johnb]

No way we catch up 5%; I fear that the Vol nation may be slightly bigger than ours.

Nah, there are just THAT many more people that go to TENN. They have 20k undergrads, for goondess' sake.

I was sorta hoping someone on our board might have written a script for us, so that we'd only have to enter the code over and over. (I've never been above a bit of gamesmanship!)

Oh, well. Looks like Markie's going down on this one. UT and all the haters.

How does the percentage difference change that much in just a couple days? I understand that UTenn has 20k ugrads, but they were not voting in much greater numbers than us previously. Could unc, md, & other haters have just found out about this & are now starting to vote? (Perhaps we should call on UTenn haters at Vandy & Memphis to start voting for Markie :-) Seems as though the Lowe's folks would not want someone tweaking things w/ scripts or bots, but perhaps I am just am out to lunch on this.

I just voted (@ 1:10 AM EST on Thursday the 13th) and it's now 36% to 29% Lofton-Markie.

...isn't there a CPS alum out there that can make something happen???? Stupid Tennessee and their gigantic school with their infinite votes.

Markie is still down by 7% (36-29). Don't give up... Keep voting!!!

Markie down 9% now but I am still voting-any one else out there still skewin'?

[DukeDevilDeb]

Sorry if this has appeared elsewhere. DeMarcus is a full 10% lower than Chris Lofton; Lofton has 38%, DeMarcus 28%

Tennessee is a bigger school, but if you vote as often as you can, we can do this for the Captain!

Part of the problem is that Carolina fans are voting for Lofton because they saw the "Vote for Demarcus" thread posted over at TDD. If Lofton knocks them out of the tournament their votes will be well placed.
