FULMER CUP SCOREBOARD: AUDITIONS

The fake-light-based characters are a thing of beauty.

1. Nice touch with the Stripes v Orange Jumpsuits feature
2. It has that Bellagio Sports Book look, and there’s no better place to watch rivalry weekend.

If there’s going to be a Vols joke about donuts, it ought to feature Krispy Kreme’s “so good you’ll suck cock” ad campaign.

What if we took the beautiful scoreboard replica of # 2 and placed it at the center of the repellant orange imitation of corregated alluminum and cheesy marketing in #1

The fake lights are nice. The detail is superb- they even show the unlit lights. Nice. The first one has great touches as well – stripes vs orange suits, donut add, bail-bond ad, well done- both choices.

if beggars can be choosers – I wouldn’t mind someone making a widget to go on my desktop that makes a siren and flashes a cop light everytime a school scores FC points. Perhaps Orson, or the score board, could trigger the widtget going off… much like they make widgets for weather or the stock market.

Ah Jesus H Christ you had to go and remind me of the Clermont Lounge.

Me in Virginia Highlands one night: “Dudes I really think if we went it would be really funny.”

Me one hour later: “I think I got an STD from sitting down.”

I’m guessing you can’t pay to watch Patrick Ewing get a blowjob at the Clermont Lounge?

My preference is for #2, but I like ’em both.

Agree with the suggestion of using the scoreboard of #2 wedged in between the orange/ads of #1

By the way, I’m headed to a beautiful little cololmbian girl’s birthday party in NYC tonight, and could use some colombian cheesecake to get me pumped …if at all possible.

I like #2, can you adjust the bulbs so they resemble the scoreboard from “Family Feud”? That way you can announce “Survey says…assualt with a deadly weapon!”

1. has everything the Fulmer Cup stands for, except video of a West Virginia cornerback stealing a car after beating the shit out of his pregnant girlfriend.

1. is more visually appealing, and for the three readers of this site that find what I just said grossly offensive there isn’t the possibility of updating #1.

I’d like to see one with a stock-ticker-type-thing of the score and, when something gets updated, a link to the news article. But I’d also like to watch Georgia Tech win the ACC next year.

I like #2. The concept of #1 is OK, but the execution leaves something to be desired.

What happened to Mike or whatever the guy’s name was that handled scoring duties last year?

The Clermont is a right of passage. For all you not living in the ATL, there is no way you can understand and no good way to explain it. It’s the only strip club that I have ever been in where NOONE is watching the strippers. But its open late and if you’ve been drinking PBR at Moes and Joes, you can continue to do so at the Clermont without any real transition.

Clermont. Wow. Trauma. Pure Trauma.

I like them both, but I’m more partial to #2.

1. just has a clear, crisp look, and a new sheen of consimante professionalism that really gives the FC a big boost.

Someone with the photoshop skillz that pay the billz ought to be able to do something with this…

i’m all about #2…..it has that certain “light bright” quality that i love

Ever wonder what happened to that stripper you saw in the club back in the 70’s or 80’s, well she’s working at the Clermont. Orson, unreal reference, I mean you go from “Marketplace on NPR” last week to the Clermont this week. I believe I have met my match on psychosis, and his name is Orson.

As a lady who lives in Atlanta, I’ve always thought of the Clermont as the club “where strippers go to retire”… but alas, I’ve never actually been inside. Shame.

Good job on both, but I prefer #2. Lite-Brite, anyone?

i second (third) the idea of merging the two.

@3,

After watching the Vols piss away a 20-point lead and let the vampiric tOSU return from the dead to fuck up my basketball bracket last night, I wholeheartedly agree that “sucking dick” belongs in the same sentence as “Tennessee.”

I will be in Atlanta next week for work. I get the feeling that going there would be detrimental to my health and quite possible continued employment

1. without question

Loser with Socks has become unreadable. UNREADABLE. Obsess much?

Sorry for the threadjack.

Is Blondie still there?

Because no, not everyone lives in Atlanta…

I’m guessing you can’t pay to watch Patrick Ewing get a blowjob at the Clermont Lounge?

no, but you could watch a women who looks like Patrick Ewing get turned down trying to give away free blowjobs.

1. is visually appealing. #1 just has too much to remind me too often of that team in Knoxville. (run on FTL)

Number two, aside from number three, is my favorite number.

The Clermont on Saturday nights has the best old-school funk in town, but inevitably there will be 300 people stuffed in a club with room for 75 that as far as I can tell has no air conditioning or fans. It’s very, um, authentic.

NDTom,

The Clermont won’t just be detrimental to your health or employment, it could ruin your whole company. It has been known to collapse entire third world counties when their denizens become scared at finding out people actually pay to go to places that are less clean and have nastier women than their homelands.

That said, I’ll probbaly be there tonight.

1. looks great.

I once gave a woman a dollar to have her STOP showing me her crotch. I think that explains it. pretty well.

number two is great except for the fact i can hear richard dawson bellowing “SURVEY SAYS….!” every time i see it.

Good Answer! Good Answer!

Show me….. Carjacking!

Just as long as you don’t actually feel him kissing you on the lips when you see it kleph.

How come ufmike22 can’t do it this year?

I haven’t been to Atlanta in almost a decade, but I remember a late-night trip to the Clermont… hazily, but that’s probably for the best.

From my recollection, TCOAN’s description is on the money, but Ness and Brian aren’t exaggerating either. I’ll make it a point to swing by on my next trip, for memories’ sake.

I wouldn’t worry to much about the Clermont ruining your carreer. If you happen to see someone you work with or your boss at the club, neither of you will admit it the next day.

People seem to be favoring #2, but are you guys sure the Boston P.D. won’t mistake it for a bomb and fine Orson a million dollars?

Weren’t clear heels first seen at the Clermont?

Great Effort #1, but I’m going to have to go with #2.

Holy shit, when did Illinois pick up 24 points?

#2. Clean, classic, looks like last year’s only better. I’m threatened by change.

Aaron, two U of I players got picked up for four counts of robbery per, if I remember correctly. 4 counts x 2 offenders x 3 points each = 24 total Fulmer Cup points.

Blondie is still there and Cathy is still running the joint. Blondie’s signature move is crushing beer cans between her cans. She also writes poetry. She bloodied a friends nose with her ta-ta’s one time too. Also saw Cee-Lo there. Probably been there too many times…

I swear I posted a comment earlier, but it never showed up.

Anyway, I love #2 and think the Family Feud theme needs to be embedded in the page for full effect:

Listen for yourself.

You know what sums up the Clairmont for me? A conversation I had with a long time Atlanta local, who said that not all the girls there were awful looking. There was “this new girl that’s pretty good looking. Kinda hairy though.”

Kinda hairy? You know, when its the type of person that actually frequents the Clairmont, and the qualifier “hairy” is used, that the bitch was a mountain Yeti up on the stripper pole.
