[Husker] Your Vote Can Bring GameDay to Lincoln

They've probably removed it. They did no verification on the email addresses on input. I was able to put in a few different email addresses and vote. 

Now, ESPN could go through and check my IP address, or set a cookie or something and avoid that, but the sign that they did no input verification just basically told all the college kids out there with only entry level hacking skills to attack the hell out of their site with bots, which is why the site keeps throwing connection errors. 

Shouldn't be surprising, given this is the same group of people that employ Lou Holtz. 

I won't vote via Facebook either, nor do I use sites that require it for authentication.
