How the West was Won...or How Pete can win the Battle of the Facial Hair

Strategy, strategy, strategy. If you vote online, this is who you should vote for in Week 8 to ensure that Paydirt Pete keeps his place at the top.

1. You vote Pete, always and forever. Amen!

2. Joe Bruin vs. Big Red

I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I can't help but love Big Red. I love clicking on his name and seeing the animation. This week is another BIG RED week.

3. Brutus vs. Mr. C

Our past opponents face off. We want to help Mr. C win because if we were to fall by 2 matchups, Brutus would have the higher total. MR.C it is!!!

4. Big Blue vs. Smokey

This one is a no-brainer. Even though we go up against Smokey in a few weeks, we need ODU to fall making us No. 1 so this is where we let the dogs out and vote SMOKEY

5. Monte vs. Goldy

We helped Monte last week, but that's all the help he's getting from us. We want to make sure that we secure out place. This week, we go for the Gophers ;) GOLDY!!!

6. Testudo vs. Bearcat

I can't help it. This one is a toss up. We faced Bearcat in week 1, we don't face Testudo, but I really want Testudo to get his first win so I'm going with the shell dude. Testudo! 

7. The Bird vs. Sebastian

After reading the forum post about how the voting has affected such a small school, my heart goes out to USAFA. This one you can choose, but I'm backing The BIRD!!! Especially after the Amigo Airshow and seeing the Thunderbirds do their thing!

8. Mike vs The Duck

This one is a toughie. Really tough. We faced the Duck, we helped the Duck lose twice. We face Mike in a few weeks. Hmmm....I love going for the underdogs though, so MIKE it is!!! GEAUX Mike. Grrr!

Also, a little hint. If you have Google Chrome, use that to vote. It allows you to go back and will save your changes and username requiring you to enter in a new CAPTCHA. And you don't have to do the write-in vote for your vote to be counted!

As always,
Vote now. Vote often!

Strategy. Strategizing! or Let's beat some Buckeyes!

All these other blogs talk of strategy. How to get their mascot ahead by forming an alliance.

Well, obviously if you vote online you want to vote for Paydirt Pete because he's our main man.

Monte vs. the Duck
For the Matchup of the Week between Monte and the Duck. You want to select Monte. I know this sounds weird because we go up against Monte in Week 12. Monte is 4-2 and the Duck is 5-1. In the event we lose any of our matchups, we would fall below the Duck since he has more overall votes. So MONTE it is.

Smokey vs. Goldy
We want to vote for Goldy. Goldy is losing right now, we go up against Smokey in Week 11. We need to make sure that Smokey has less overall votes and another loss to add to that total.

Mr. C vs Big Red
You choose, personally I always click on Big Red because I love how crazy he gets.

Big Blue vs. Bearcat
Vote Bearcat. We don't go up against ODU/Big Blue in the regular season but we need someone to hand him his first loss. Our strategy should always be to vote for the Mascot going against Big Blue. So let's send in some votes for Bearcat!

Joe Vandal vs. Sebastian
Sebastian! We go up against Joe Vandal and we want to get them after a loss. Sebastian also is having a tough time getting some votes.

Joe Bruin vs Mike
Joe Bruin. We have already won a matchup against Joe Bruin and have a matchup against Mike coming in Week 10

Testudo vs The Bird
Testudo! Let's help this little dude get his first win!

And there is your strategy for Week 7 when voting online. Vote Now. Vote Often!!!
