I did not go through all of the comments but from what I saw on FB and Instagram, I would say they were about 55%-60% votes for Jack.

Go figure that the second worst mascot in the Summit League wins the contest. If it wasn't for that hideous Leatherneck mascot the Jack WOULD be the worst. To the credit of Western Illinois at least they don't find the theme of their mascot smashed all over Illinois' streets and highways.

I would not have figured that Jack would have been a bottom dweller with all the publicity and love that he gets from the national media. When does the next poll comes out?

Congrats on the win! Really cool to see how much support the two teams got in a short period of time for a silly mascot contest

The WIU Leatherneck is cool. Read the history. That's a legit mascot.

Jack?? Does he/it have a last name?
Charlie Coyote vs Jack _____ . Please fill in the blank, fans, on the next popularity contest.
(I know I'm "walking the line" but I just couldn't resist)

Looks like over 8500 people voted and Jack won. Not surprising with their thousands upon thousands of more alumni. Yotes put up a good fight tho. I'm not sure that I subscribe to this theory. I'm sure it's possible or even likely that more SDSU alumni exist, but to me that is a moot point. It is obvious to me that their fans have been more supportive on the whole than fans of the U over the last several years. We can point to a number of advantages that State has, including: 1. Slightly larger school 2. Ag focus promotes graduates staying local, and improving local support? (just a theory) 3. The "head start" in going D-1 4. Perceived bias in Sioux Falls Media 5. etc. But at the end of the day, these are simply excuses. USD has unique advantages as well, but at the end of the day, trophies and butts in seats are what matter. I am hopeful that we are now moving in the right direction, but lets stop with the sour grapes and excuses. Any contest where we are showing well in fan support shows progress, and I think that this poll was good for USD, especially beating NDSU!

I feel like we are putting alot of stake in a social media poll on mascots. Agree with Kiyoat that I am more excited about butts in the seats. Speaking of which, when do we start publicly unveiling the arena? things have been pretty quiet.
