BETTER LATE THAN NEVER: UGA GETS THEIR ANNUAL POINTS FOR DRIVING RELATED OFFENSES.
Georgia celebrated the passing of Presidents' Day in their usual fashion: racking up a single but valuble Fulmer Point for Mudcat Elmore's driving on a suspended license. Again, we think the UGA Athletic Department's refusal to hire a single intern to ensure proper licensing of all football players operating a motor vehicle is shameful...and funny.
Bigger points for the Dawgs loom with the arrest of backup offensive lineman Ian Smith, who had a bit too much to drink in combination with some truly horrendous timing. Georgia Sports fills us in:
According to the Red & Black, police had to hammer through a wooden door at Amici's restaurant in downtown Athens to get to Ian, who had passed out on the shitter with his trousers and drawers around his ankles. Perhaps--just perhaps--ACCPD overreacted.
Depends on the verve and aggression of the ass pickle Smith was trying to steer in, we argue. We know that farmers have suffocated due to the fumes of pig shit in an enclosed space; why wouldn't a burly offensive lineman struggling with a 32 gauge cheek-ripper forged from chicken wings and stuffed crust pizza in a poorly ventilated space be in danger, as well? We think the police acted responsibly here, since a turd of that magnitude could have easily killed a man.
We'll award a total of three tasty Fulmer Cup points here, broken down thusly:
Public intoxication=1 point
Story involving passing out while taking a drunken poo: 1 point
"When police gained entry to the bathroom, Smith was found passed out on the toilet with his shorts and underwear around his ankles, the report said. Police had to prod Smith with a baton to wake him up."= 1 point
We believe this gives UGA an early lead on the Fulmer Cup, just ahead of Florida and Purdue. (Standings to follow later this week.)

Exercises to prevent injury that may help UGA's Ian Smith

Only three points? I would’ve thought we got more for repeat type offenses (as in they are all the same type of offense…. driving and alcohol). Also I might submit that Wisconsin should be up there with Purdue and Florida. All obviously behind UGA.

Points for running gags…there’s some legs, there.

Once again, your photo selection is impeccable. At first glance, I assumed it was the aforementioned dawg.
BTW: theres got to be a headline in here about Dawgs and growlers or Dawgs growing tails but I digress.

Man, I have been waiting for your take on this one all day, and I am a UGA grad. He may have been used to the ole neck toilet, and passed out from the fumes. Did you know that it wasn’t in fact a toilet he was on, but rather Leonard Pope’s left sneaker, which is considered a state landmark as the site where he armwrestled General Sherman, and won, forcing him to hang his head in shame as he burned Atlanta.

No charges filed- remember, firing an assault weapon through an apartment wall is like the jaywalking of weaponry crimes.

The only way this gets better is if the hybernating bear on the crapper wakes up in a rage, takes a cop under each arm, and dunks them head first into the shitter. Fullmer Cup over.

UGA would win the Fulmer Cup by default if this happens twice. Game over.

not exactly related… vandy has a fulmer cup entry as well… some frosh fullback pulled over for DUI.. if you goto http://www.vanderbilthustler.com/ and look along the right column (should still be up) you’ll get a link to the story.

Makes me damn proud to be a Dawg…and I say that as a fellow Dawg that’s awoken on the crapper a time or two myself.

The “Fulmer” scale? Cute. Perhaps (because they fly below the radar) you’ve missed the shenanigans at the University of north carolina at chapel hill?
Suffice to say the recruiting class of 2003 is no more. Go to the “rap sheet” of www.carolinasucks.com and examine the plethora of unc THUGS.

Looks like UGA had to rally to defeat the Commode-Doors.

So who won the Fullmer Cup in 2005? I know that UT and South Carolina seemed to be well ahead of the pack, but FSU made a strong push there at the end.

I think the Fulmer Cup will ultimately overtake the BCS championship in prestige and importance – if only because the voting is more logical and transparent.
One suggestion: an individual award is also required, ala the Heisman. I suggest the individual award be named the Simpson Trophy.
by Daniel on Feb 22, 2006 9:54 AM EST reply actions
Quality suggestion. Since he was so far removed from the college game at the time, we would suggest a different name…how about the Willie Williams trophy?
by Orson Swindle on Feb 22, 2006 10:01 AM EST reply actions
My vote would be for the trophy to be named “the Clarett”. The “the” must always be included in all references of course.
by Jonathan on Feb 22, 2006 10:08 AM EST reply actions
Well, borrowing from the British Open, we could award “The Clarett Jug.”
by DevilGrad on Feb 22, 2006 10:32 AM EST reply actions
Sorry, I have to stay with the Simpson Trophy. The pure viciousness of a dual dismemberment combined with his background as a Heisman winner outweigh the number of years he was removed from the college gridiron.
The trophy could be designed as a hand similar to the old Laugh-In fickle finger of fate. With a glove on it though. Of course, the glove should be slightly too tight.
Winner gets the trophy and a set of Henckel knives. Ceremony will be at a Benihana.

Man I love this site. I get a solid laugh every time and this thread is no disappointment.
Excellent idea on the Simpson Trophy…the uber-embarrassment of football. Could also go with the Ray Lewis Memorial Trophy – some sort of combat knife slashing an abdomen.

Not a fan of Simpson trophy. I think it’s an entirely different level we’re talking about. I like williams or Clarett, though if you go the Williams route, label it the “Lobsta Willie Trophy.”

In a surprise move, Navy jumps into the Fulmer Cup standings. See the following story:

Who’s going to defend the Navy QB in his court martial? You Lt. Kaffee? You Lt. Weinberg!?!
In re: original thread, who hasn’t chipped a tooth on the tub from a passed-out fall off the throne? Drunk shitting is in the core curriculum at UGA (indeed my beloved alma mater), so I applaud Mr. Smith for staying on track for gra-jee-ay-shun.
