[Wrestling] Ballot box stuffing: Not Just For Hobey

[KeithK]

Dake wins.

And who were the two assholes who voted for Ruth?  Edit: I guess it was the Penn State tribe who voted for Ruth in the public poll, proving that public polls are dumb...especially when one can vote at will.

Yep, that's how I read the story as well; Dake was unanimous except for the public poll.  Maybe the Hodge Committee will see this as evidence that the public poll is a stupid addition, but I doubt it.

WIN has revised the article; Ed Ruth got 4 votes, including the two fan votes.

(Publisher's Note: The original March 29 Hodge Trophy release had an error in recording the number of first-place Hodge votes for Penn State's Ed Ruth. Kyle Dake got 39 of 43 first-place votes. Ruth got the other four, not two as originally released. Of these four first-place votes, two of them were the composite fan votes. Dake's first-place total of 41 was tabulated before the official fan voting was closed late on Thursday, March 28.)

So there WERE two assholes who voted for Ruth.::moon::

Relax. The "right" guy one. Don't stress about it.

I'm not stressed and I don't need to relax.  I can't imagine someone allegedly knowledgeable about college wrestling who wouldn't vote for Dake.
