You're right in terms of what this contest is supposed to be about. I'm Craig's Mom, and I have to say that I've developed mixed feelings about this whole thing as it's progressed. When I heard that the local Pop Warner team identified him as their choice as a nominee, I felt so honored by...

Good News!!! The Patriots posted something on their homepage this morning!! It's listed under News, and is titled Franklin teen needs your votes. There's a link to the recent newspaper article and to the voting page. They also emailed employees with the link, and encouraged voting. Again...

I haven't had much time to visit the board over the past couple days. I was worried people may have forgotten all about this. I should have known better!! You're awesome for posting this on top like you did!! I've been spending every spare minute trying to recruit more votes. Yesterday, I...

Aren't you nice! A vacation sounds great right about now. I hope you enjoyed yours. Did you do anything exotic?

Hi to all. I didn't get a chance to visit the board at all yesterday. I have an extensive list of email addresses (mostly Franklin people, but some others), from people who I send daily updates and voting reminders to. Major problems with Comcast throughout the day, which consumed a lot of my...

Unfortunately, Yes!! They should send all 5 kids, if you ask me, but no one's asking me!!!

Not unless he gets a heck of a lot more votes between now and June 15th, when the voting ends... He's still in 3rd place. :(:(:(:

Last word (at least from me) on the whole cheating issue. I'm operating on the assumption that the folks who designed the voting system have safeguards in place to prevent (or at least make it excruciatingly difficult) for any cheating to occur. I do think Nichyria has an advantage, living in...

Are you really Bill Belichick in disguise (whom I love, by the way...)?? ;) Just kidding! Unfortunately, I don't think we know anyone who has that kind of knowledge. Are you referring to some "bot" thing that happened here? It was before my time, but someone else brought it up as a...

Thanks. We appreciate every vote. If anyone has trouble using the links posted, they changed something and the 2nd one no longer works. New one is http://promo.espn.go.com/espn/specialsection/kelloggs/index I wish I'd known about this before sening out email reminders to 500+ people this...

I feared the worst this morning, but today's standings are essentially the same as yesterday. The leader went up by 1 % instead of a huge margin. Craig's still close to 2nd place. With everyone who can pitching in to increase votership, we can still make a difference! While it may feel like...

I'm still working on trying to get more voters. I sent messages to 2 WEEI talk show hosts using Craig's My Space page, and one to Don Orsillo. No idea if they'll respond, but it doesn't hurt to ask. Still time to vote tonight. I'm afraid to look at the standings tomorrow. If I'm right about...

Mine, too!!! If my theory is right relative to all the computers in Chicago public schools voting, your guess is as good as mine.... Someone I know in Franklin who does PR work for a living has been contacting everyone on our behalf--radio stations, papers, professional sports teams (Pats...

It's me again, with today's update: Craig's still in 3rd place, and still 3 % behind 2nd place. He had been inching closer to 1st place, but the 1st place contestant's percentage surged up again based on yesterday's votes. Craig's at 20%, and she's now at 30%. She's from the city of...

Thanks for reminding people. He's still in 3rd place, but the gap's narrowing a little. While in some respects, I wish this was over (it's exhausting, not to mention sressful.....), there are still 12 more days in the voting period after today---plenty of time to make a difference. I'm always...

I'm checking in. Is anyone still voting? We had an interview with a reporter from the Milford Daily News this afternoon. It'll be in the Daily News mid-week, and the Country Gazette on Friday. Not exactly the Boston Globe, but every little bit helps. If any of you livein the...

If you're looking for a creative way to get back at ESPN, I have an idea. There's another thread on here about this, titled Help out a Young Patriots Fan... It's about my son, Craig, who is one of 5 kids nationwide nominated for the first Youth Achievement ever to be presented in conjunction...

Good morning to all. I wanted to pass along an update before getting ready for worK: Not much change in the standings since yesterday. Craig is one percentage point closer to 2nd place--only 3 % away! And still 6% away from 1st place. Please remember to keep voting. There are 2...

I'm just checking in before heading to bed. 'Still 2 more hours to get a vote in today, if anyone forgot..... www.espn.com/earnyourstripes or https://r.espn.go.com/espn/specialsection/kelloggs/ Thanks again to anyone helping out. I promise to get involved in more lively discussions...

You're probably right. I'm new to this stuff and took what happened over at the Celtics board personally. I was literally in tears. All in all, I'm sure more voted for him than against him. I haven't posted anything there since, even though I had planned to, b/c I don't want to open up...
