As we noted below, Eric Devendorf only had one turnover yesterday in a strong performance against Georgetown. However, the man is averaging 3.5 turnovers a game this year versus only 2.9 assists - not exactly the assist to turnover ratio you're going to brag about. So it's fair to say he's had a little trouble hanging on to the ball. In one of our live game chats, someone started calling him DevTO, which I thought was pretty accurate. However, our good friends over at Cuse Country have also coined a nickname for Mr. Devendorf, Unforced Eric - which I also find appealing.
However, we simply can't have a guy with multiple nicknames, it leads to confusion and in the case of Kristof! the Waffle, Ongenaet, it's clearly a factor in getting you ejected from games. As maddening as Eric can be, this team simply cannot afford to have him getting tossed -- so let's put this to a vote. Should his name be:
- DevTO (pronounced - deev-T.O.) or
- Unforced Eric
Leave your thoughts in the comments below -- because since the homoerotic photos of Devo have been shut down, we find other ways to constantly talk about him - it's in the bloggers hand book.

unforced eric for sure. rolls of the tongue a little better, just like the ball off his hands into opposing players...

agreed, I can't say devTo
unforced gets it sir.
While I think "Unforced Eric" is the better name, DevTO is easier to type quickly during live chats. So I will continue to use DevTO.
Gotta support my blogging associate at CuseCountry who came up with Unforced Eric. I think it's inspired.
I love Unforced Eric. Then again, I just usually grant the title of ATM (Automatic Turnover Machine) to one player every year, started by the best ATM of them all, Louis McCroskey. Either way, that's a lot of turnovers.
