MR. KENSINGTON'S DEGENERATE GAMBLING CHALLENGE!

In case you didn't see the Q&A with Casual Hoya, Mr. K has thrown down the gauntlet: here are the over/unders in Mr. Kensington's Degenerate Gambling Challenge:

You've got two hours to get your picks in. The prize is the two-liter of Green River that the dudes from Voodoo Five owe me. Happy propping!

BEER OF THE GAME

A Sunday contest between two Jesuit institutions of higher learning? We're not drinking beer today, friends. We're drinking Scotch. Glenlivet, Glenfiddich ... any Glen will do. It's what Fr. Wild would want you to do.

Enjoy the game, and bring me home a winner.
