RUBillsFan Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 MBM's on twitter can help the SLU Managers "win" the manager games by voting for them. Good way to show your gratitude to the guys behind our players / coaches doing the dirty work. Edit: Okay, I just posted this as a "look vote for SLU" thing and I didn't actually know what was going on. Here is more info. http://www.kpisports.net/2017/03/13/2016-17-manager-games-postseason-tournament-bracket-released/ I didn't realize this was an actual thing, but apparently SLU's team managers often play an actual head to head game with the opposing team's managers during the regular season. Team records and rankings can be found here (http://www.kpisports.net/manager_games/d-i-mens-basketball-managers/). Now there is an end of season tournament (which SLU has somehow made despite being ranked #106) and managers can either actually play the game and use those results if possible or use a combination of the expected score of their game and fan voting on twitter to decide the winner. I think manager teams who make the final four actually go to Phoenix and play each other at the NCAA fan fast, so that's pretty cool. Go vote for our guys.

RUBillsFan Posted March 12, 2018 Author Share Posted March 12, 2018 FYI - this is happening again for 2018. Vote for SLU's managers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUBillsFan Posted March 16, 2018 Author Share Posted March 16, 2018 #2 seed SLU managers won the 1st round internet match-up and move on to face the #7 seed Mizzou managers: I do not see a twitter poll for the "game", so my assumption is that SLU managers and Mizzou managers will actually play a game to decide the outcome.

RUBillsFan Posted March 21, 2018 Author Share Posted March 21, 2018 Winner of this vote against the MO State managers goes to the Final Four in San Antonio to compete in live games against the other remaining 8 manager squads. SLU needs your vote and spread the word on twitter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu has as well but I saw it first from him last night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The vote only counts 1/2 and the other 1/2 is based on their rankings, so SLU only needs about 45% of the vote to "win". They have a chance, but need help.

If you look at the replies on the tweet, it kind of sounds like SLU managers offered to host a game, but MO State managers (literally) wouldn't play ball. I'd imagine MO State managers are taking the calculated risk that they have a better chance of winning the online poll than winning an actual game.

If you refuse to play there should be a bigger punishment. Also since they post all of the match-ups at the same time and give team rankings based on how they played during the regular season, there is incentive for fans voting in the other match-ups to vote for the underdogs to advance so that their team has a better chance of winning in San Antonio. I know I voted in the other matchups and always chose the underdog thinking that the SLU managers would have a better chance of beating them later. Obviously, it is all for fun and shouldn't be taken too seriously, but a little bit of reform would to the system wouldn't hurt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cowboy Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 -do I understand this correctly that our managers 'lost a game' to MOSU managers based on an internet vote? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
