FULMER CUP ENTRANTS: OLE MISS?

by Orson on Mar 7, 2006 12:11 PM EST

A breaking story on the Fulmer Cup front: Ole Miss offensive lineman Corey Actis was picked up on a classic offseason charge of public drunkenness on Feb. 27, which means the Orgeron, lying sleeplessly in his cave, immediately sprang to action, bounded to the arrest site in four bounds, and stared at the arresting officers until they burst into flame.

Actis, who really should be getting TWO counts of public drunkenness--at 6'5", 295 pounds, that's a lot of man to taser down--but this may just be the start, since the Clarion-Ledger report states that Artis is the at least the fifth member of the Ole Miss football team to be arrested since last January. We're working on the accounting as we speak.

Hey, tasering ain't cheap. Charge public drunkenness by the pound.

It’s Actis, not Artis. The misspelling can be forgiven though as he just signed with Ole Miss in December and has only been enrolled for 2 months.

Glad to see we’re making a push though. I had no clue we’d had 5 players arrested since last January. Obviously they choose that date since that’s the time of Orgeron’s hire, but I think the majority of those arrests were at the beginning of that period.

I honestly can’t remember any arrests from the past season or even the summer of ’05 for that matter. Research it though. I may be wrong.

If we really want to get in the running for this Fulmer Cup though, we’ll have to do better than this. I think public drunkeness is only a 1 point offense. We’re not exactly bursting onto the scene here.

Was he passed out drunk on a commode? Did the police have to knock the door down to get to him? Despite being awakened from a drunken stupor, did he have the wherewithal to give a fake birthday that made it appear that he was legal?

If not, Ole Miss can go on with its bad self. Color me red, black, and unimpressed.

Free Ian Smith!

Quick question, but how is the Tide not at least on the board for the Fulmer Cup? With Travis Sykes getting a DUI at 8:30 in the morning, that has to count for at least a point. Although, I have not heard anything since the initial reporting of the arrest.

I’ve never understood public drunkenness. If this is a crime, why isn’t public stupidity or public ugliness. Being drunk isn’t inherently dangerous! I see a lot of public bums that are drunk and they just sleep quietly in the park.

If he just signed w/ Ole Miss, why did he not recieve an MIP to boot? Me thinks this is two offenses and two points.

He signed out of Juco. He’s 20 years old. Most likely he was caught drunk but without a drink. They can’t give you an MIP for carrying alcohol in your stomach. You have to have a drink or alcohol in your possession at the time, otherwise you get what he did, public intoxication.

well it is wrong that he was drinking underage! that is a fact …but how many can get on him for something that you yourselves have committed…maybe you were not caught and charged…but think how quick is man to judge another? get a life people!!!!
