Almost there...

Big Blue now has the same record as Auburn, the number 2 football team in the country, 11-0. Just one more week stands between Old Dominion and the playoffs. It looks as though Big Blue could go 12-0 through the regular season of the Capital One Bowl Mascot Challenge. 

As you can see Big Blue will have some FIERCE competition on his hands going into the playoffs, even more so because there will no longer be text voting. EVERYONE needs to set their homepage (kudos if you have already done that) to capitalonebowl.com in order to be a self reminder to vote anytime you log onto the internet.

Remember the goal of a million votes? Well, Big Blue fans surpassed the goal of 56,000 votes last week by getting just under 60,000. This means Big Blue only needs 52,600 votes this week in order to reach ONE MILLION! I know we can do it, so get your phones out and make this last week of regular season voting count!

Week 11:

Big Red lost out to Big Blue last week in the Capital One Mascot of the Year Challenge. This whimsical mascot tried his hardest to defeat the Monarch, but came up short with only 21,196 votes to Big Blue’s 59,797. This left Big Red with a record of 5-6 and still at the number 8 spot. Chances are that Big Blue will see this mascot again next week in the first round of the playoffs.

Week 12:

Big Blue’s second Matchup of the Week!!!! Though Mr. C is sitting at the #11 spot, he still posses a threat to Big Blue’s untarnished resume. With a record of 4-7, Mr. C does not have a winning record on his side, but with a HUGE win over #7 Joe Vandal in week 4 by ONLY 428 votes, Mr. C could sneak in a win over Big Blue. Let’s not let that happen, get to voting!!!

And as always, text 'bigblue' to 69866 or vote @ Capital One Bowl Mascot of the Year Challenge
