BRING ON LA COPA DEL FULMER! FULMER CUP SEASON BEGINS.

Good call on Arizona State. I guess that’s my East Coast bias at work.

I couldn’t be more excited to have the Fulmer Cup back! Viva los criminoles!

For the 2007 favorite, my gut tells me we’ll have a reversion to the norm this year……DA U will win by a landslide.

I will say this about Perriloux—he hasn’t been charged yet. Now the fact that he’s been “talking” with the feds doesn’t bode well for him…in Baton Rouge, DUI is applauded (or at least scoffed at), not met with federal investigation. Once a grand jury meets (yes, it’s bad enough to involve a federal grand jury), many of the details will come to light.

I doubt that ALL of the details will come to light, but I will say this—don’t expect to see Perriloux in purple and gold this fall. But I’ll say this—don’t rule out a comeback, at least in politics…hell, similar charges worked for Billy Cannon.

By the end of all this, expect to see LSU getting closer to 8 points on the Fulmer Cup Board.

can someone explain to me where it says this is a DWI? the “warrant type” box on the original website explains these violations as “City Court Traffic,” not DWI, which has another description tag.

am i missing something here?

Florida better not suffer a let down after the Ohio State game, the title run must continue: Men’s Basketball, Football, Fulmer Cup!

If Florida wins the NCAAs, the MNC, the Fulmer Cup and Dancing With The Stars in succession, look for frogs and lice from the sky and the death of every firstborn early-commit recruit.

ESMjr—

You are correct—our eyes leapt to the most exciting conclusion. See corrections.

I never get tired of that picture.

Never.

Maybe we could add a wrinkle by allowing fans of their school to lobby on behalf of their team to earn additional points.
In my head, I’m hearing James Carville take up for RP.

BTW, Orson, WTF?

Ryan Perrilloux and Wesley Willis: separated at birth?

I pray someone everyone has the devotion and discipline necessary to be the heir to Ellis T. Jones’ throne stay out of trouble.

(A’Mod Ned)

DevilGrad-

They are wetfart plagiarists who stole Orson’s idea and put up a shitty ass website. He could sue if he wanted to bother.

The verbiage they have about EDSBS is the result of a bunch of “WTF? Losers!” posts on their message board.

Coker may be taking the lead of that other former Miami coach. His name has been mentioned as a possible replacement for Tulsa where he firsted started coaching.

What’s the strikethru tag? It’s not just [s][/s]?

Re #13: I know. I’m the guy who brought that to Orson’s attention last spring. I just couldn’t believe that either (a) some sort of deal had been cut or (b) those douchefuckers went blindly ahead while claiming that one had.

strike through is [del] [/del]

Ok I’ll try again….[strike] [/strike]

Here’s the latest on Perriloux…like I said, the feds don’t investigate traffic tickets.

What is with LSU QB’s turning into big-faced, fatties. Rohan, then Jamarcus and now Perilloux.

Thanks Dave.

Do federal charges count for extra points? If so, Perriloux may put the cup out of reach for LSU before the contest even begins…

Hey Travis, I think it’s good to see the “freshman 15” isn’t just reserved for us who stopped working out (except for 12 oz. curls) in college. And when can we define the start of the “offseason” because my team has been up to some major shenanigans for a few months now. And for alums to serve as PR, I call dibs on John Grisham (okay, we’ll settle for Palmeiro).

I’m such a sick human being…I’ve been anxiously awaiting the Fulmer Cup kickoff.

I look for my beloved ACC to more than make up for its on-field sucktitude with some good showings in the Cup.

I have 2/17/07 as the date for the first UGA driving infraction…

Dammit — Harvard beat Bama in the Cup last year?!?! Jesus. No wonder Shula got canned.

I see LSU winning this year. I also see ND’s Clausen being picked up for solicitation.

I wonder if Bama will have a commercial out celebrating the Fulmer Cup results and calling themselves “The Harvard of the South” with “Rammer Jammer” being played in the background…

And shall we have the Orgeron Cup – for the school whose coaching staff gets in trouble with the law the most?

Oooooh. I wonder if Penn State can hire away that Detroit coach who went through the drive-thru naked.

Sherlock — do you think Clausen will be seeking or receiving the solicitation? I certainly think he’s ripe for some type of en flagrante indelicato takedown. I guess if it doesn’t happen at some drunken frat party, it could happen 9/8 at ‘Happy Valley’.

By the way, what’s the basketball equivalent of the FC?

Its not going to be a major conference school, much less LSU…with all their ill gotten monies and cronieism, they will either cover up, dilute, or otherwise kill anyone who attempts to mess up their team. From what I can see, 2nd Tier teams with no probability of success will be more likely to fuck shit up. Good candidates might include FIU, Memphis, or Bowling Green.

ACC Expat- 2/17. Hell, mat drills will be started by then. They will be too tired to be driving around. Nope, I say the first driving infraction will be within the next 10 days when they have nothing better to do then play PS3. On a side note, I have been driving around Athens for near two months with a bum left tail-light, and yet no cop stopped me. It make me wonder when I hear about cops busting the players for having an expired license when they stopped them for a broken tail-light. I guess I just don’t look like I play ball very well.

BillC:
The basketball equivalent of the Fulmer Cup is the starting lineup of the Cincinnati Bearcats under Huggins. It’ll be interesting to see if the reputation stays in Cincy or follows him to Kansas State.

That’s a good choice, but I think you’d have to name the basketball version after Jerry Tarkanian. He’s the Amos Alonzo Stagg of college hoops criminality.

1. In the poll, BITCHES!! If anybody can lay claim to the 2007 Fulmer Cup…My man Coach Fulmer can! Let’s bring another champeenship back to Knoxville!

I believe you’re right, Devil. The Tark Towel maybe a little obvious, but some dedicated blog should take it up.

The trophy should be a samurai sword. Bonus points for folks who remember why.

Avondre Jones, a former USC and most recently Fresno State basketball player was convicted Tuesday of threatening a man with a Samurai sword in his apartment just hours after a game. Jones, the Bulldogs’ starting center last year, and recruit Kenny Brunner were arrested in March after an acquaintance said they threatened him with a gun, beat him with Samurai swords and stole his camera and cash. The attack happened just hours after the Bulldogs defeated Memphis in the NIT and a day after Fresno State officials criticized CBS’ “60 Minutes” for focusing on the legal and drug troubles of the school’s athletes.

+10 to AUAlum.

(And, in case you couldn’t tell from the parrot reference in my Fulmer Cup preview, I have long been a connoisseur of bizarre criminal behavior by atheletes. My home on the ’net -MiamiHawkTalk - even has a “Police Blotter” message board. Then again, Cincinnati is one of our oldest rivals.)

“Ryan Perrilloux and Wesley Willis: separated at birth? "

Hmmm… interesting. Does Perrilloux ever talk about how a certain play “rocks over London” or “whips the camel’s ass?”

And maybe I’m just naive, but I still think ASU is a year away in the Fulmer Cup chase. The bulk of Erickson’s first class of recruits won’t arrive in Tempe until August. Maybe that’ll leave time for a late run, but I doubt it’ll be enough to take the whole enchilada. Put ’em on the board as an early, early favorite for ’08, though.

I think a good darkhorse candidate could be the Hogs. Lots of crap in Fayettenam doesn’t hit the national scene. I’ll keep everyone posted.

I have a procedure question. Do schools get more points for leaving a criminal on the squad than if they cut him loose? For example, if Perrilloux ends up with a conviction but no jail time, doesn’t it look worse for LSU if they keep him on the roster?

The name Juwan Simpson comes to mind.

Being an LSU fan, I hope there’s nothing here, but if there is I certainly hope Les Miles doesn’t put up with it.

GEAUX TIGERS

What’s the over-under on the amount of time it will take between a slap on the wrist – community service – type of conviction and a Hummer with Mississippi plates being seen outside RP’s dorm.

I’m thinking that the Hummer would have been there and gone before RP returned home from the court house. Upon entering his home he will see that the only thing left is a note stuck to the door with a Bowie knife that says Cumaomissifayouwanyastuffback.

+10 (x2) AUAlum:
Cincy, Cincy, Cincy. When haven’t they been in trouble for one thing or another?

I think it might be more appropriate to limit it to something like:
“Cincinnatti Class of 1995 Memorial Cup”, honoring Art Long’s epic attempted beatdown of a police horse.

Apparently the horse just doesn’t back down from a fight.

Yeah, I laughed my human ass off at the line:
“whipped a(n) [random animal, generally a non-human mammal]’s ass”.

Sheesh, first good laugh I’ve had since the gators rocked over Glendale and whipped a Brutus’ ass. Let the healing continue.
