DEFINITELY FULMER CUP ELIGIBLE

by Orson on Mar 6, 2006 1:53 PM EST

The University of New Mexico makes a spectacular entry into the Fulmer Cup sweepstakes: Aleem Harris, the second-leading tackler from the squad gets hit with four counts of assault AND a kidnapping charge resulting from a fight with an ex-girlfriend on campus last Wednesday. The charges must hold some serious voltage, since Harris was tossed with great alacrity following the arrest.

Kidnapping, which hasn't been a healthy part of any relationship since Tie Me Up, Tie Me Down!, earns the Lobos the higher of the two scores (Assault equals=piddling 3 points), so New Mexico earns 4 staggering points for the offense.

Kidnapping: NOT likely to improve a faltering relationship.

Now THAT’S the kind of sociopathic behavior we expect from our student-athletes. It’s what makes the Fulmer Cup such a coveted and meaningful prize. Somewhere Tom Osborn got all misty-eyed and nostalgic when he read about Harris.

Maybe I’m being overly sensitive because I live in New York but in regards to the photo of the person bound with tape all over the face…

A summary of the on-going story:
“St. Guillen’s body turned up hours later, wrapped in a cheap, flowered blanket and dumped in a remote Brooklyn area near the Belt Parkway. She had been strangled, a stock stuffed in her mouth, her face wrapped like a mummy with brown tape and some of her hair chopped off. Her hands and feet had been bound with wire.”

Wow, I have a newfound respect/fear for the University of New Mexico.

Martinis-

That’s a clip taken directly from a BBC story about custom kidnapping adventures in NY. As callow as we are, we still wouldn’t use an actual kidnapping photo here.

BIGMIKE -

May I humbly suggest that you go PGA Tour Style on the scoreboard:

T4 Georgia – 4
T4 La. Tech – 4
T4 Navy – 4
T4 New Mexico -4
8 Arkansas – 3

We wouldn’t want The Middies & Lobos feeling jipped that they are 3 & 4 spots begind UGA when in fact they are tied.

Keep up the good work.
