FULMER CUP SCOREBOARD: PURDUE STILL REIGNS

by Orson on May 26, 2006 9:37 AM EDT

See the full scoreboard, including a picture of Mr. Butterworth himself, here.

A few notes and clarifications:

--Alabama will likely be bumped down to two points pending the ongoing events in the Juwan Simpson case. Or be given eight points when it turns out to be some outlandish conspiracy involving Nazi gold, Mike Shula, bootleg Kazakh uranium, and the Shroud of Turin. We're still not sure at this point.

--Indiana makes a strong debut with four points thanks to a wide receiver allegedly slapping his girlfriend and their baby. Should this turn out to just be your regular, run-of-the-mill baby-slapping incident without charges, the Hoosiers will do exactly what they do during the season: put up a donut in the scoring department.

--If we're counting on anyone to make a late push for significant points, it's Marshall. Herdistan hasn't let us down before, and with Joe Tiller cracking down at Purdue it's unlikely the Boilermakers will see anything more in the way of substantial points. Two or three more Playstation thefts and this thing could be theirs for the taking.

--Tennessee, who finally got on the board with a single point for Marvin Mitchell's disorderly conduct arrest, still lags well behind in the standings. Also, we still haven't seen a single point from FSU or Miami, phenomenal streaks for two very "spirited" teams. While the 7th Floor Crew just doesn't seem to have the chemistry of past years, we still hold out hope for a substantial score from FSU--after all, Bonnaroo is just a few weeks away!

I must say that I’m stunned that FSU or Miami still havn’t gotten on the board, may be the biggest surprise of the offseason.

That and I still protest the 4 points for Navy.

That, is GOLD.

Do probation violations count? If so Iowa State should have 3 points instead of 2.

If players who just completed their eligibility counted, the Herdiban might have taken the lead this week. Apparently, while a Marshall degree may not land you a job in the Fortune 500, it does prepare you to graduate to armed robbery in order to get your PlayStation fix.

God help the poor guys at the Huntington GameStop when they get their shipment of NCAA 2007.

This falls in the gray (grey?) area since the charges go back some time, but the conviction reigned down recently. Do they get any points? http://www.usatoday.com/sports/college/football/bigten/2006-05-19-cole-corey_x.htm?csp=34

Adam, we sympathize. Until the case is cleared up, it’ll stand, though.

Nile, probation violations? Hmm…they might.

RJM, the MSU story does stem from a very old arrest. We can’t count it in this year’s Cup.

I’m holding out for a drunken Pulp Fictionesque robbery of the local Chick-Fil-A by one of the Marshall tight ends to settle an old score with the former coach. If there is a god, this will come true!

Kinnick,
Orson said no points when I asked him, because Jerry Gair was off the team when he was sentenced to 37 years in prison. I still think he deserves points because the probation he broke was from when he was on the team and got caught stealing shit from dorm rooms (not to mention the 37 years), but what are you gonna do. I’m just gonna enjoy the fact that your Hawks have a 1-pt lead (for now) without even counting the cellphone incident.

It might surpise many of you about miami..but not me…if the fulmer cup had been done over the last four years..just how many points do you think miami might have accumualted during that time? answer: barely any…besides one antrelle rolle event..that wound up being utterly redicoulous..and charges dropped based on fault by the police..you won’t find any other incidents by mami players while at the u of miami…but..media folks of all kinds (yes you bloggers as well) keep miamis name in the dirt..which is fine…meanwhile..in that same time period..(the last four years or so) florida and florida state have had 10 times the incidents…but miami is still everyones whipping boy..

to each their own…
