LEGENDARY SCORES: DELAWARE BLUE HENS IN 1-AA FULMER CUP

By definition, the Fulmer Cup is a strictly 1-A competition, so the cataclysmic entry Delaware might have made into the race is rendered invalid by the rules. (Purdue fans, take a deep breath and remember: you still run this place.) Nevertheless, as a sort of primer on the art (note, not science) of Fulmer Cup scoring, we present the case of three Blue Hen football players involved in a home invasion for entertainment purposes only.

Three University of Delaware football players were arrested and charged with breaking into an off-campus apartment, holding two students at gunpoint and robbing them.

A fourth student who is not a member of the team was also arrested in the early Sunday home invasion.


A Delaware Blue Hens Home Visit? Decline if possible.

Taking a page from the Maurice Clarett Vocational Handbook, the three players involved would instantly be assessed individual scores of 4 points...each. Why a galling 4 points each? BECAUSE THEY BROKE INTO SOMEONE'S HOUSE AND ROBBED THEM AT GUNPOINT. If that's not a four point offense under the rules, we don't know what is. (Actually, we do: a human trafficking ring run out of a dorm with the money laundered through an underground hip-hop label. Thank you, Miami '93! Trick love the kids!)

In addition to the whopping 12 points they'd score based on just a the principals, the fourth player involved--who we imagine as playing the part of Dave Chappelle to the other three's Wayne Brady in the scenario, just riding along when they stopped and said "let's stop by the ATM" and pulled guns and went in--gets a point for association.

Finally, we would have to assess one imbecility point for the players committing such a brazen crime while refusing to wear masks. If only they'd followed Bodhi's lead, man...that guy's so deep...(click more to see a disguise that might have worked a bit better)

Tons of extra point opportunity here. These guys invaded one of their own teamate’s appartment with the main target for theft being his enormous stash of steroids.

I think we just found our candidate for Big East expansion. Clearly, these guys are ready for the BCS leagues.

by DevilGrad on Mar 7, 2006 3:56 PM EST reply actions  

Bonus points indeed. According to the local paper, the stolen items included “cocaine, marijuana, and steroids.”

Definitely four pointers all around. They equalled Purdue in one crime—before bonuses!!!

Let’s just call it the Tressel Memorial Trophy in honor of his time at Y-town State and just hand the fucking thing to the Blue Hens.

Hey rob, anything on a rape case over at PSU?

Orson: happened over a year ago, but was put on the district attorney’s back burner (pretty convenient for JoePa, eh?) Now that the guy is finally done @ psu it’s coming to light.

Sketch. We can’t claim it because the guy’s gone, but that’s definitely sketch shit right there.

The alleged assaulter (Scott Paxson) kind of looks like Christopher Reeves, so me-thinks he’ll get off scott free today in memory of the mrs.

by PSUrob on Mar 7, 2006 4:30 PM EST reply actions  

The UDel website was even forced to put out a press release on it.

http://www.udel.edu/sportsinfo/football/fb06-suspension.html

Albeit, slightly sanitized. No mention of the robbery being at gunpoint, and the frequency with which they refer to it as an “incident” is swell.

I think they want to step up to 1-A by putting the news on their own site. Clearly, they are advertising it. At the bottom of their own story they tout their 1-AA success.

I have to concede that with the loss of human trafficking (Miami), gambling (BC) and general thuggery (VT) they would fill a gap in the Big East.

So maybe that’s why the Centre County DA has been missing – Seriously, like many universities – Penn State keeps much of the on-campus crime on-campus. Paxson was found not responsible for the alleged assault and won an appeal for his associated breaking of the student code of conduct. PSU is exceptionally adept at keeping this stuff quiet – The preliminary hearing is Wednesday (tomorrow).

Scotty had a breakout year in 2004 – his performance during 2005 was fine, but not great; his big moment was the fumble recovery (his career first) against tOSU.

What, isn’t there a playoff system for 1-AA off-the-field incidents? The Hens may be the #1 seed, but wait until Youngstown State gets going. Tressel’s sweater tan still lives there….

. . . the fourth player involved–who we imagine as playing the part of Dave Chappelle to the other three’s Wayne Brady in the scenario . . .

Not to be pedantic, but the fourth robber was a a UD student NOT on the team, disqualifying him from the Fulmer Cup. To compensate, point(s) could certainly be awarded to the player who was robbed, and who apparently recently returned from a midnight run to Tijuana.

Maybe I’m the only one who doesn’t know, but can someone explain the 1993 Miami scandal?

by Willis on Mar 7, 2006 6:02 PM EST reply actions  

ok, let’s break this down:

Police charged UD linebacker Demetrice Alexander, 20, running back Daniel Jones, 19, and defensive back Jeffrey Robinson, 21, and Tyrone Heggins, 22, all of Newark, with two counts each of first-degree robbery (3 each) and unlawful imprisonment (kidnapping? that’s 3 too), first-degree burglary (2 each), wearing a disguise during a felony and conspiracy (we’ll lump those together for a bonus point).

Alexander also was charged with possession with intent to deliver marijuana, maintaining a dwelling for keeping controlled substances and marijuana possession. (thanks to charles thompson, we were used to this 20 years ago. we’ll give him 2)

Heggins was additionally charged with possession of a firearm during a felony. (yawn. everyone does that now. 1 point).

just a staggering entry. that’s like 30 points. they should get an honorary place on the leaderboard, kind of like when auburn went 11-0 on probation.

Awwww man, that’s just freaking beautiful. This is freaking miami-esque. If only there had been a gay sheep and ninja costumes involved.

O,

As always, great stuff.

by Yost on Mar 7, 2006 6:52 PM EST reply actions  

I think UD has to get a mention on the leaderboard. Racking up those kind of points despite having 22 less scholarships than a I-A? Truly impressive.

Those guys need to party with Scott Stapp. I present you Scott Stapp: Behind the Douchebag: http://youtube.com/watch?v=-_KiYzRA9BM

That has to be a point-haul of legendary proportions.

This must be included in the Fulmer cup standings. Reasons you ask?
1. If a 1-AA team beats a 1-A team, it is counted in the standings during the real football season.
2. Occasionally, a 1-AA team has a higher RPI than many 1-A teams (see Colgate a couple years ago…)
3. It’s just too amazing of a story to be discounted.

Thus, Delaware leads the Fulmer Cup standings.

1. Whomever wins counts it in the standings.
2. Every year some I-AA squads have a higher rank than many I-A squads… EVERY YEAR. Heck SCORES of I-AA and D-II teams were ranked ahead of I-A teams… even NAIA teams were! http://masseyratings.com/rate.php?lg=cf

exactly. That’s why Delaware should be counted.

As a former blue hen football player this is an exciting change to win this award…we did party pretty hard but these guys are fucking nuts. Here is another article to add to the running…he is boys with Marcus Vick this kid. They are both punks…Vick came to a party once and got knocked out cause he was acting like he owned the place and tried to steal a digital camera
