FULMER CUP UPDATE: BULLS CHARGE INTO COMPETITION

by Orson on Jul 5, 2006 8:00 AM EDT

There's average, garden-variety getting arrested...and then there's getting arrested in Tampa! The temptation for awarding extra Fulmer Cup points to USF quarterback Carlton Hill for getting arrested in the home of death metal, Hooters, and Guavaween is strong; Tampa is the place where thirty percent of C.O.P.S. episodes are filmed, chocked full of shirtless rednecks, tipsy drivers wearing 1991's finest fashions, and women fighting women sloppily.

Hill, a quarterback at USF, does live there, though--if you can't get arrested at home, where can you get pinched?--so the extra points stay in the bag. Hill was arrested with two former USF football players for marijuana possession at a dorm at USF. For anyone who ever smoked pot in a dorm room, you know this had to be the out-of-hand, Raid-Fogger type of smoking session, since USF police made the arrest, likely called by an alarmed neighbor watching billowing clouds of smoke roll out of Hill's room.

OMG! His room's on fire! Call the fire department!

A single point for misdemeanor possession goes to the upstart Bulls.

Bad weekend for anything “Bulls” related.

Da Bulls mascot, Benny, got pinched at a rally in Chicago.

Oh and Da Bulls overpaid Ben Wallace by approximately 60 mil. (Yeah, the NBA still exists – they have uniforms and everything. Who knew?)

Employing paranoia induced anti-detection measures is one of my fondest memories of smoking in the dorms. Hill was missing out on this college pasttime. He better not pass up the chance to enjoy the next best pasttime: Intimidation of snitches/potential snitches in the dorms.

try a towel under the door and shower cap over the “smoke” detector.

And a toilet paper tube packed full of Bounce fabric sheets. Blow the smoke into this and you’ll always be low key.

A friend of mine told me that ideally the towel under the door should be damp, and you should use those little straight things they call “one hitters,” not pot cigarettes. I’m just passing that along…No idea what he’s talking about.

Is there a FC recap somewhere on the site?

We try to make a regular Friday of that. Note: try.

Dammit! I was hoping no one would find out about this.

This isn’t his first brush with the law:

Another USF signee, quarterback Carlton Hill, was arrested at Jefferson County High School two weeks ago and charged with a misdemeanor count of contributing to the delinquency of a minor after being found having consensual sex with a 16-year-old student in the school locker room.

fulmer cup? If this is all about the Vol bad boys that was last year not this. Fulmer them the team the riot act and this off season isn’t anything like last off season.
