FULMER CUP SCOREBOARD RETURNETH: THE LONG-DELAYED UPDATE
Thanks to aspiring graphic designer Brian, we have a scoreboard at last:

Brian’s design received a few more voice votes in the legislature on Friday, trumping the fine work done by reader Peter. (Peter–people just like shiny things! Mmm. Shiny things.)
The scoreboard will hopefully be updated weekly, and will (as requested) feature the Family Feud Theme music on opening.

you should fit the date on there, so it’s clear which infractions made the deadline and which ones were just overlooked.

I can concede Brian’s excellent work is perdier. I only lament the opportunity to further villify Foolmer each week… as if having the award named after him was not enough.

Someone needs to send this update to the commish of the Big 10. Great work by his student-athletes!

Is there a copy of last year’s final tally anywhere? That 24 for Illinois looming up there is quite grand and I was wondering how it compared to last year’s winner (Marshall?)…

Bob Gomez for Presidint says:
I know its early, but I don’t see anyone catching Illinois. With [NAME REDACTED] at the helm, at the very least I predict a first place finish in the big ten.
The next logical step for Chief Illiniwek is to find a way to blame Notre Dame for these infractions.

The Michigan perpetrators were kicked off the team, and therefore are no longer student-athletes. Do they still count?

Yup. The Illinois guys were kicked off, too.

Next up, Vegas odds. The big board is paying even money on illinois and 1000-1 on dark horse BYU.

The Big Ten are running away with this one. Finally, we’ll win a championship.
Of course, thanks to the work Mason did, Minnesota will finish in the bottom of another competition.

Can he add the actual cup to the scoreboard…you know the one with all the stuff in it?

Thanks for the votes and the suggestions.
I’ll try to work the date in there for next week. Doug, don’t think I can include the actual cup and keep this design. Sorry.
The “Show me … CARJACKING” comment from Friday still cracks me up.

I missed the original Duke post, and in a fit of ‘holy shit, Duke scored!’ (hey, we don’t do it that often) I went to find the article… that is, um, not what I expected. :/ It seemed like the consensus in the thread was that it should be struck, no? That was certainly my gut instinct.

While I will take credit for being the first guy on the Ohio U bandwagon, underperformance by FSU and Miami (FL) is really screwing up my bracket.

The girl in the Helium ad should grow her hair out.
May I suggest the themes to either The Price is Right or $10k Pyramid? TPIR’s theme would be perfect for Friday Cheescake as well.

Any chance we can get a sql flash or php guru to make the scoreboard interactive flash?
That is allow it to scroll down to the zero score and then by clicking over a name of a team or a number linking to the articles on that particular scoring for better review and to allow further updates to be entered as we get them?
The the Fulmer cup volunteer can enter links, verify point totals and then enter the score and the flash code automatically updates the scoreboard and links as need be.
If a major occurence happens and is under investigation the code can be changed to flash in red lights a possible big change coming up – ie a big point change to the positive or negative.
I also request that Fulmer cup points be given and locked IN even if the criminals plead out to lesser charges or get special treatment by the local AG and Police.
Cases that get postponed until after the season (football in this case-basketball in winter etc) is over that allow the criminals to play with out being subject to criminal code of the US/State/County should be given a special color- pink for pussy police and a whore of a justice system and college that won’t do anything right or at all until the investigations are done…maybe purple for having to deep throat so much that they choke on their own words and special treatment of athletes.
Special bonus points for a school that lets a criminal play even though there’s conclusive proof or that he’s been found guilty of a hard crime. (that’s one that would give anyone else hard time in the slammer).
Maybe even a special color for the school’s name.
Repeat top 10 teams get an * or special marker to indicate that they’ve been in the top ten in the last couple of years. One * or special symbol for each consecutive year.
Thus if a team gets in the top ten for five consecutive years in a row they get a special Box seat of their own. As if they were permanently engraved on the trophy or if we can get Fulmer himself drunk enough- get him to the local tattoo parlor and get the school’s name tattoed on his ass permanently!

The best thing about that scoreboard is the fact that there’s actually a “hundreds” placeholder for the point tally! Awesome!

Dad gummit, my Wolverines are second fiddle yet again.
Maybe there should be a “retention bonus” for when the players AREN’T kicked off the team. Then institutional corruption is rewarded too!

I don’t think I need to say this, but …this is an SEC board, so…you’re all aware that there’s a difference between Ohio and Ohio State, right? The top two is not too bad though! Go Big Ten!

Readers of this board, submitted to overkill coverage of the Frank Solich GHB saga and last year’s horse punching, are familiar with the difference.

RE: MrG’s php/sql suggestion.
I know SQL and php and am definitely willing to offer my services for such a noble cause. Now I will leave before Chris Richards punches me in the face for allegedly talking trash in is remedial English class.
