John Parker Wilson looked just fine on Saturday, thank you.

Speaking of barbecues, I’m sure Chris Leak (or Urban Meyer, for that matter) hasn’t forgotten 31-3.

I know I haven’t. Roll Tide.

Thanks for that flashback. The Pillsbury Throwboy beats a Mike DuBose team. I still say the DuBose picture at The Houndstooth should be turned upside down and defaced, like the Franchione picture, but they have yet to do it.

I lost track of whether recruits count for Fulmer Cup points, but – if so – Kentucky recruit gets them on the board after being arrested for “allegedly beating up Hispanic farm workers and robbing them”

Not to be missed, in the same article, is this news:

Stiff winds pushed over the goal post on one of UK’s practice fields, marking the first time a goal post has fallen since the Cats’ win over Alabama in 1997.

I love it, no Ohio State on the list. Tressel is really cracking down. When they win the BCS title this year there will be no more Mo Clarett talk. It will be 100% legitimate.

Come on SEC, this has to be the quietest off season in the history of the South, keep it up and they will pull our Dirty status.

You’d be surprised what gets swept under the rug. The swim team at South Carolina was involved in a whole mess of shit — when a guy from the team was caught being a serial peeping tom, it had the possibility of ending the program. But all that talk was the backroom, hush-hush type.

There are rumblings arising out of Durham. The Dookie lacrosse team may take the Fulmer Cup to a whole new level. I know, I know….innocent until proven guilty. But the Dookies should garner a few points right now for arrogance. The entire lacrosse team has refused to cooperate with the police investigation, and more than a few of its members have hired attorneys. Moreover, where the Hell were the lacrosse coach and the AD, Alleva, before this incident?

This from an article at ESPN.com:

“On Tuesday, the Raleigh News & Observer broke the story that 15 of the players — nearly a third of the team — had been charged in recent months with misdemeanors following drunken and disruptive behavior. For a variety of reasons, most escaped criminal convictions.”

Where was the discipline, the intervention? Is this a program out of control, or what? One thing for sure, it certainly doesn’t come close to adhering to the world-famous (at least to the Gator Nation) Urban Meyer “Living Right” standard.

J.J. Reddick was quoted today as saying that the Duke lacrosse players are a “great bunch of guys”. Well, perhaps the lacrosse players were just “cutting down the net”…..stockings, that is.

Who the fuck needs a quarterback?!? This is Alabama. Put four running backs in and forget about passing the ball. Bear Bryant played with the Notre Dame box. If it was good enough for the Bear, it’s good enough now.

Miami(OH) scored points? I must have missed the post where fashion faux pas counted as Fulmer Cup points.

Georgia had a member of its board of regents in a street brawl. That surely counts for something to break the tie.

I still think I-AA Delaware should have to compete in a playoff to win this thing.

Speaking of Div I, did y’all see the Indy Star reporting on how much student tuition and fees go to support Div I programs? The average public program gets $5 mil in subsidies from these sources. Here’s my take with the link to the story.

Thank God another post came up. I actually had to work today.

You mean Defcon – Lower than 5…5 = peace time, lower numbers indicate threat.
