Please post up your top 8 picks, in order of your own personal ranking.
Use the number next to the saying as the reference.
Voting will be open until Sunday, 3/25 at 12pm. At that time, I will determine the top 8 based upon everyone's votes.
I hope to have the shirts ready for purchase within a week after that.

So for those of you that decided to not actually rank your top 8 (I know, directions are hard to follow), they will be weighted in the order you provided them. Each position has a value to it, so placing them in order of your personal preference does matter. If your favorite one is last in numerical order, it may not get enough "points" to make the top 8 for the shirt.
So go back and edit your posts if need be. Voting closes at noon CST this Sunday.

Thank you to the 12 people that participated in voting for this year's shirt entries. I hope to have the shirts available for purchase in about a week (this will be dependent on our sponsors as well).
