FULMER CUP UPDATE: HOW CHAMPIONS DO ROAD RAGE
Scratch one offensive lineman in Gainesville: Ronnie Wilson, offensive lineman, attempts to bring a third championship to the University of Florida by earning plentiful points in the Fulmer Cup. From the Gainesville Sun:
University of Florida offensive lineman Ronnie Matthew Wilson was arrested early Thursday on charges of aggravated assault, simple battery and use or display of a concealed weapon during the commission of a felony, a Gainesville Police arrest report stated.
Police accused Wilson, 19, of shooting a semi-automatic rifle after a dispute with another man, according to the report.
Wilson later told police he took the rifle out of his trunk and fired one shot into the air because he wanted the other man "to know how it felt to be scared," the report stated.
Mission accomplished, sir! Wilson probably eats pancakes with jam, honey, and syrup just to get the job done, since being a screaming, Stonehenge-sized football player in a traffic altercation evidently wasn't enough for him in the fear evocation department.
Smile, dumbass.
For his display of proper Baghdad crowd control technique, Wilson earns (shakes head, sighs) NINE GODDAMN POINTS for our own Florida Gators. The breakdown:
Aggravated assault: 3 points.
Simple battery: 1 points. Akin to FnDC.
Use or display of a concealed weapon during the commission of a felony. Another 3 pointer here.
Gator bonus: 1 point. Not because we want to win, but because the last team we want in this thing is our own. Points for shame.
Mongoloid Bonus: 1 point. Honestly, the stupidest Gator crime we can remember. Ever. Period. Dumber than Taurean Charles trying to mash a guy's head in with a beer keg. That was homicidal rage, which we can understand. This? Overkill in the hands of bonified paste-eating moron.
Perhaps Miami's not the only team that needs a firearms policy?

Rumor has it we may be on our way to scoring some FC points. Allegedly, one of our WR’s got picked up for a DWI over the weekend. Unfortunately, nobody’s talking and the Minneapolis Police suck at the interwebs. (They don’t even put up pictures of the prostitutes anymore, just the johns.)

wow. this will actually be a pretty good barometer to see where meyer actually stands on the whole “top 1% of 1%” thing. shooting of a weapon to scare someone is a pretty fucking big deal.
i do hope he gets kicked off the team, even though he is suppose to be a great lineman.

I’m just glad he didn’t reach in his glove compartment and pull out a semi-automatic Tebow. That would have REALLY scared the poor bastard.

fired one shot?
This will get him a overly stern 1st half suspension against Western Kentucky. Urban will remind him that in the future shoot the gun into the ground because what goes up must come down. Physics 101, young future bouncer at a strip club Wilson.

No need for Florida to get double points since we get to keep any points that OSU generates as part of our ownership agreement.

If those charges stick, he’s looking at a mandatory 10 years in the clink here in Florida.
Of course, so long as he doesn’t hire an agent, that means he’ll still have some eligibility when he gets out, Bowden…

What a surprise! The SEC is the deeper conference, again, with 6 teams in the poll; and, as per usual, the Big Ten is top heavy, with only 4 teams in the poll, but the top 2. How ironic. Even more ironic, Ohio State hasn’t broken the top 25 yet.
And to think Clarrett got all that grief and never fired a weapon; I guess a bottle of goose and a hatchet are worse than a semi-automatic rifle.

Speaking of the top 1% of 1%, is it true that no game suspensions will be forthcoming for one Doubledaring Dueling Doe? Perhaps because Urban only has .0.0001 of LBers on the team

Ah, now we know why the SEC over signs recruits every year, you’ve got to take into account that one or two of the average 24-26 guys signed will brandish a semi-automatic weapon and fire it in public over a traffic dispute. It really is a numbers game! I think the Flumer Cup could be directly tied to the annual recruiting numbers. The only flaw is that a single offender could rack up enough points on his own to skew the overall conference standings.

So far Urban is 0-2 ref punishments of any kind. Wait instead of having them missing practice, he’ll hold them out of class for a week…… 42% graduation rate and still falling !!!! chomp -chomp

GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Florida offensive lineman Ronnie Matthew Wilson was arrested Thursday, accused of firing a semiautomatic rifle in the air during a dispute with another man that started in a nightclub.
Wilson, 19, has been suspended from team activities, coach Urban Meyer said. Wilson was charged with aggravated assault, simple battery and the use or display of concealed weapon during the commission of a felony, according to jail records.
“Obviously, this is a major concern,” Meyer said.
The victim, whose name was not released, said Wilson spit on him and slapped him on the right side of his face inside the XS nightclub. Wilson told police he had spit on the victim but denied hitting him.
When Wilson left the club, the victim followed him in his car and called police to give them vehicle information. According to a police report, Wilson pulled into a parking lot, where he took the rifle out of his trunk and fired one shot in the air because he wanted the other man “to know how it felt to be scared.”
Fearing he would be shot, the victim ducked down and put his car into reverse. As he was going backward, he heard a gunshot, the report said.
Police said the victim left the parking lot and was followed by Wilson, who broke off the chase when he saw police cars.
According to the report, Wilson then went to an apartment complex and hid the rifle and magazine in his cousin’s apartment, where they were recovered by police.
Wilson was being held in the Alachua County Jail awaiting his first court appearance. It was not known if he had a lawyer.
The university’s sports information office said it had no comment on the arrest.
Wilson, 6-3, 300 pounds, enrolled as a redshirt freshman in the spring of 2005.
Meyer says, Obviously, this is a major concern,"
As it’s only a major concern because he might miss some spring practice…..Urban Liar the “assgoblin” could give two sh%ts what happens to is players off the field. This is why Florida signs 25-30 players every years, cause about 5-10 of them get 5-10 from the prosecuters office !!!!

I vote to have the Urban Meyer Award for the coach who acts tough and says their will be plenty of discipline. Yet when it comes time to hand out the punishment it is weak despite their “tough stance in discipline”.

Near miss – Georgia wisely cut bait on this fool before scoring Fulmer Cup points:
Former UGA player expelled after break-in at school
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Published on: 04/06/07
Athens, Ga. (AP) — A former football player at the University of Georgia has been expelled after officials said he broke into an office at the school and stole a file with information about an underage drinking case against him.
Matthew Martin Pick, a walk-on redshirt freshman, was already on probation for violating UGA’s alcohol policy and faced suspension after Athens-Clarke County police arrested him in February for public drunkenness and underage possession.
Pick, 20, broke into UGA’s Judicial Programs office and stole the file to avoid getting suspended, UGA Police Chief Jimmy Williamson said.
“He was maybe being sent home for numerous semesters, and desperate times sometimes get desperate actions,” Williamson said.
Pick, from Oakton, Va., was expelled Tuesday, the Office of Judicial Programs said.
Although Pick is on the Bulldogs’ 2007 roster, he turned in his equipment before spring practice began last month, UGA athletic department spokesman Claude Felton said.
Pick had been on probation since July 26, a month after Athens-Clarke County police arrested him on an underage alcohol charge, according to judicial programs documents. Pick agreed to take an alcohol education class and knew he would be suspended if he broke the alcohol policy again.
But police arrested Pick a second time Feb. 10 when an officer saw him take a bicycle from the back of a pickup and throw it on the ground, according to a police report.
The student was “very intoxicated” and had someone else’s driver’s license, although he was not charged with possession of a fake ID, according to the report.
UGA employees discovered the judicial programs burglary when they arrived for work on March 28 and found damaged ceiling tiles, police said. When employees inventoried the office, they found that the only thing missing was Pick’s disciplinary file. That led police to suspect him.
Officers got a search warrant for Pick’s dorm room and found alcohol and other evidence linking Pick to the break-in.
Pick’s roommate, a freshman offensive guard for UGA, was arrested last month for having a fake ID. Tanner Seth Strickland was among more than a dozen students who were charged as university police dismantled a fake ID ring.
Pick, who was released on a $5,000 bond, is scheduled to appear April 24 in Athens-Clarke County Magistrate Court on a burglary charge and a third underage possession charge.
