FULMER CUP UPDATE: THE HOME STRETCH

by Orson on Jul 28, 2006 8:57 AM EDT

Lo! The Fulmer Cup Scoreboard for the beginning of the home stretch looks thusly:

Notes, clarifications, and complete gross errors:

--Navy, on the clearing of all charges in the Lamar Owens case, loses all points. Corrections will be made shortly, and their record will be as squeaky clean as the launch tubes on a nuclear sub.

--Despite his impending transfer, Texas will keep Ramonce Taylor's points. This is not a bad thing since Texas also gets to claim that their players get into hundred person brawls on peanut farms in the middle of nowhere, which is soooo Fight Club-hot of them. (The number of women we know who drool over the fight scenes in that movie is disturbing. Or encouraging. We can't really decide. All we know is we've been punching everyone we know in the face for years, and no one's ever called it hot when we did it.)

--We didn't touch the Fresno City Community College story involving numerous football players and an alleged gang rape because it involves a community college, which is not within purview of the Fulmer Cup.

Please leave any notes on scoring below, since there's so much on the table we're sure we've missed something along the way.

See complete scoring here, and as always thanks to EDSBS Players' Club Member BIGMIKE for maintaining the scoring.

utah state had five players arrested for possession of marijuana. it’s not exactly gang raping and beheading a goat, but it’ll have to do. it is utah, after all.

Player’s Club?
Is this anything like Telly Savalas’ Diner’s Club?
If so, I want in.

Pretty fucking disappointing for Tennessee to only be ranked T-16 in a competition that is basically named after them…

It’s an off year for the Vols that is why they are heavily recruiting Willie Williams…

PUT PORKY THE PIG (FULMER) IN THE PIG PEN WHERE HE BELONGS.

I’m not sure if this affects Alabama’s points but some charges against Simpson were dropped.

Um, what ever happened with the UF points?

by Jonathan on Jul 28, 2006 10:14 AM EDT reply actions

My question exactly, Jonathan. Wasn’t there trouble with a starting db?

Question re Navy: does Lamar Owens’s conviction on conduct unbecoming charges count for anything in the standings?

by thechuck_2112 on Jul 28, 2006 10:49 AM EDT reply actions

You’re right. Florida should have an increase in points… the exact amount might still be pending, but the points should be there for now.

by Stranko Montana on Jul 28, 2006 11:01 AM EDT reply actions

Where the hell is the U on the list? I know that gun play is encouraged in Miami but it should still count for a couple of points.

Hometown justice if I’ve ever seen it. Police yourself, Stranko.

I vote that community colleges and JUCOs be represented in the Fulmer Cup. Fulmer himself has never met a player from a community college, JUCO, or diploma mill that he couldn’t sign.

If you’re toiling away at some JUCO in the middle of nowhere, raping and thugging and what not, isn’t the call from Fulmer like a call to the majors?

Kind of sad to see VaTech falling on such hard times. Any more Vick brothers out there?

by ohiodawg on Jul 28, 2006 1:24 PM EDT reply actions

Can we just start throwing the Cincinati Bengals in there for good measure. Maybe just to see how they would stack up against college competition. According to my less that scientific calculations, they should have somewhere in the neighborhood of about 18 points.

The Conference that Can’t Count victorious!

Seconded—the UF points need adjustment. Blame sloppy accounting, not homerism. Not that there’s anything wrong with that…

Just for journalistic integrity, Ramonce Taylor was arrested at a pecan farm not a peanut farm.

by Rob H. on Jul 28, 2006 3:58 PM EDT reply actions

How can Mississippi State have only 6 points? The Bulldogs had six players arrested & convicted of attacking an off duty cop at a sorority party.

If that is not group fighting of a thugged-out, we run this place variety, then I don’t know what is. MSU should have 12 points.

Is the in-season trangression board going to be for the Osborne Cup, or where all of Nebraska’s troubles also in the offseason?

Player’s Club is the name of a thuggish apartment complex in Tallahassee. True story.

How does the scoring work within the season? Are points awarded based on when the incident happened or when a player is sentenced. I’m curious as CMU had a number of players busted for perjury and second-degree murder. The incident was in 04 but the sentencings have happened in 05 and 06. Could someone please clarify?

by Captain Kirk on Jul 29, 2006 12:00 PM EDT reply actions

Kirk – I assume CMU = Directional Michigan University, Central Campus? For a second there, I was worried that you were referring that other CMU, Carnegie Mellon University, and I thought my younger brother had been hiding a great story from me (he graduated from there in ’04).

Not that I am affiliated with the scoring in any way, but from what I have seen, the FC scoring is based on the timing of the actual crime, rather than any subsequent legal proceedings, which can drag on forever.

im really not sure what the criteria for the fulmer cup is, as i am new to your site, but how the university of north carolina at chapel hill is left out of this competition is beyond comprehension for me. entering john buntings’s sixth year in chapel hill, here is a list of transgressions KNOWN to have occured under his watch:

Bosley Allen Possession of Marijuana*
Fred Blackman Possession of Marijuana
Adarius Bowman Possession of Marijuana
Ronnie Bryant Larceny (stolen car)
Aaron Leak Larceny (stolen car)
Brian Chacos DWI
Barrington Edwards Speeding in excess of 30 MPH abve the speed limit X2, Failure to appear X2
Larry Edwards Damage to Real Property
Michael Gilmore Assaulting a Female
Jon Hamlett Felony Firearm Possession
Erroll Hood Larceny
Bryant Malloye Assaulting a Female
Terry Hunter Possession of Marijuana
Kitwana Jones Assault
Mike Mason Resisting arrest
Willie McNeil Possession of Marijuana, Trespassing
Mark Paschall Assault, Resisting arrest
Julius Peppers Assault*
Xavier Rainey Driving w/revoked license
Chris Woods Assault on law office, resisting arrest
David Wooldridge Larceny
Wallace Wright Assault

*The Bosley Allen and Julius Peppers incidences occured prior to Bunting being hired in december of 2000, but it is important to note as both played in 2001 with no reprecussions for their criminal activity, setting the tone for bunting’s program

as important as it is to note that allen and peppers committed their crimes before bunting’s arrival, it is also important to not that khalif mitchell and jarrell miller have been sent away from the unc football team this year, without official reasons and in the wake of this investigation:

Wiscy Dick,

Thanks for the clarification. You assumption is correct on the university name. Go to the sports section of www.cm-life.com for most of the ugly details on the CMU incident. If I viewed the ESPN schedule correctly, the mighty Chips open the college FB season at home vs BC. No idea how they pulled that off. Is BC that desperate to get on TV?
