In order for it to stay relevant until hoops season starts and the Bulls begin sucking again, the greatest University of South Florida blog on the planet VooDoo 5 came up with a great idea a few weeks ago in which all of the SBNation Big East blogs would participate in a gambling contest called Protect Your Unit. Since we at THE GLOBAL PHENOMENON never back down from a challenge, we gladly accepted an invite to this tournament and for the past month have been CRUSHING THE COMPETITION.
See more of our Unit after The Jump:
With our picks submitted each week by our vaunted sharp 'TakeThePoints', Casual Hoya is currently atop the standings:
Casual Hoya, $1,064.08 (+$208.18) Toro Grande, $946.30 ($0) Scott/Bearcats Blog, $932.64 (-$6.00) Hoya Suxa, $882.27 (-$29.09) Kevin Meacham, The UConn Blog, $871.82 (+$10.00) Sean Keeley, Troy Nunes Is an Absolute Magician, $863.64 (+$72.73) Chas Rich, Pitt Blather, $857.37 (-$104.00) WVUIE97, The Smoking Musket, $836.36 ($0) Ken DeCelles, $828.61 (-$44.10) Voodoo 5, $737.36 (-$125.00) Andrew Porter, The UConn Blog, $604.55 (-$56.82) Chris Lane, The Nova Blog, $531.81 (-$59.10)
The rest of the Big East can go straight to hell, and we are once again proving that Georgetown fans have the biggest units. I note that Syracuse has two entries, both of which are pathetic and horrible. Syracuse has a small unit.
TGIF.

Thanks for the update on fake money. Maybe you can procure fake headbands with your fake earnings.
Is it 2 weeks from now yet?

IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO HAVE A PROTECTED UNIT

This is like dumping Gatorade on the coach in the second quarter.

Dumping Gatorade? Quarters?
What sport does that happen in? Certainly not basketball.

There must be a mistake.
I had been assured that this was now a football blog, dreaming of Patriot League glory and whatever that gets you.

We probably have the best football team in the Big East right now anyway
So it makes sense we’d be the best gamblers.
