FULMER CUP-DATE: NORTHWESTERN BEEN DRINKIN', PENN STATE'S THINKIN...

Finally, Penn State’s date with the Fulmer Cup standings has arrived. Sure, it took a few weeks, but you know, Big Ten speed and all that stuff…

Plea-bargain down to misdemeanor, 100 hours of community service and then let the boys focus on the 2007 Big Ten Title.

Is there a secret Fulmer Cup standings somewhere that I don’t know about?

Updated every Monday, Baba. Sports Wiki also keeps track of it:

Good man Orson. Now to start my campaign to get Colorado a lifetime achievement award

Also, check out the all-time standings. Big Ten, SEC, and everyone else.

With that sneaky abuse of the English language (and logic), it is clear that had Spurrier not been a football coach, he would either have been a lawyer or a politician.

Not of course, that I have anything against lawyers, being one myself.

And NU enters the competition in the lamest of ways: Busted by a Wilmette cop, probably the only one on duty, 2 miles from campus. No guns, no football groupies from Shermer High in the back seat, no growth hormones or steroids, not even a doobie. I can’t even get worked up about the possibility of Fitz kicking him off the team, because his career has been so meh. But 6-2, 280 is still a lot of meat between Bacher, Kafka and the rest of the world. So give him another chance, coach.

“NU’s been drinkin’ , PSU’s been thinkin’, and I am the Rain King…” damn kids with their Schrek/Counting Crows cd shit has me diverging from what would normally be reality, or something akin to it…

“…conveniently losing his coach-speak manual for the 33rd year in a row…” , love it, and but for SOS and his sideways method of thinking/speaking we wouldn’t have these jewels of wit with which to entertain ourselves. We truly live in an enlightened era…

Jeff, don’t think SOS would make it as a politician… he makes just enough sense to eliminate the possibility of election, that and all those SEC fans he beat the shit out of…

I too, passed the bar, but now I don’t pass one unless its closed… bah,dump-bump.

Heh. they even have the olf cup with the Cheetos (no bottle of Jack though) :-(

SB, you’re also an atty?

This is crazy, between you and other posters who have revealed they are attys, EDSBS is practically wall to wall attys.

I wonder if this also means that there’s a high correlation between going through law school and being a rabid college football fan. I know following USC football is the only thing that got me through SC law school.

Jeff,
Ya, it seems alot of the posters on here are either CPA’s or attorneys. Either one of which, are probably charging some client for the time they are reading this. I know I am, but when Personal Property Taxes are wrapped up this June, my boss is going to notice a significant drop in my “work time”.

Seriously, these Holtz recruits have practically forced USCPD to put a substation at Williams-Brice. Actually, they do have a holding cell there, but it’s unknown whether the football players have spent time in it.

And then there’s the larcenous baseball players and the below-the-radar shit the swim team always gets into…I never got arrested in Columbia. Obviously driving drunk the wrong way up a one-way street at 2 a.m. in Five Points only merits a ticket, so these guys have to start stealing and popping off guns.

It’s all so out of control. I mean, two years ago a third-string WR broke into an apartment in my complex and tried to choke a bitch. Too much.

re: comments #12-13

I would like to think that the witty banter and hardcore college football discussions here on the EDSBS board is the most expensive in the sports blogging world. i shudder to wonder the aggregate billable time that’s being burned through in this blog every hour of the work day.

Count me in that group. Someone’s getting billed for this sentence. Suck on that, Pfizer!

Cuz you just cannot roll like that in Wilmette, baby.

Winnetka? Sure. But never Wilmette.

There is no truth to the rumor that Rees took a billy-club while being cuffed for simultaneously disparaging Fall Out Boy and Harold Ramis, Wilmette’s most famous citizens.

Yes, NH, the swim team at USC is out of control, remember when they planted that tiny bomb they made from chemicals stoeln from chemistry lab in the early 90’s in the Wachovia atm booth in Five Points?

btw, I thought I read in The Sate that the police no longer considered Boyd a person of interest in the gun waving thing.

Since the chix equestrian team just won the nat’l championship again, how soon before we see Gamecock cowgirls running amok and causing havoc?

To think, Marshall won the inaugural Fulmer Cup with only 15 points. That might not get you second place this year! The Conference that Can’t Count sure can rack up the points.

PSU has great potential, but will any team or individual catch Ellis T. Jones?

Can we get a separate Fulmer Cup entry for Michael Vick this year? By the end of the offseason, he could single-handedly win this thing on the basis of fake water bottles and emaciated hounds.

Michael, the best comment we saw in the deadspin thread was this one:

“Ron Artest’s dog is 0-22 in his matches.”

That’s commenter integrity there.

The only thing that got me through law school was my backhand layup… I was unstoppable. However, college football was king and if you weren’t a football fan (and mostly SEC in the south) you were outcast… and sure weren’t getting any clerkships.

I like the level of vocabulary and wry humor in the daily discourse… pure joy and quite stimulating, on occasion, with a direct impact on my courting tackle… I imagine the Friday Cheesecake discussing Community Development Districts and Public Land Allocations while draping a five foot long bare leg across my lower extremities and slapping me whenever my eyes diverge from hers… but that’s just me…
