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.

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.
