FULMER CUP SCOREBOARD: ILLINI BACK ON TOP.

The big board is up. Apologies, groveling begging for forgiveness, and complete inaccuracies follow. As always, thanks to Brian for rigging it up:

Clarifications:

Penn State, firmly in second now. With charges against four players dropped, Penn State descends from the peak and is a mere K2 to Illinois' Everest of points. No one's really sad about this, are they? Except for other Big Ten fans and, curiously, us?

Nebraska: in with a bullet! Or a fist, unless Maurice Purify had a bullet in hand whilst beating a guy and his girlfriend in a Lincoln bar. Attn: legal types: if that were the case, would it up his charges? Nebraska's been pretty sedate post-Osbourne, so expect little else out of the 'Huskers following Purify's points.

Whoa, golly, that's a sneaky total there, Idaho. Even we hadn't noticed exactly how many points Idaho's managed to pile up this offeseason. Cocaine is indeed a helluva drug.

If we die before we finish this paragraph......then we leave the administration of the Fulmer Cup to Bloo at Fire Mark May, simply because he's the only commentator of appropriate gravitas to handle the immense responsibilities of handling the Fulmer Cup. The rest of the Swindle testament has been handily covered by T. Kyle and company, who've saved us the trouble by writing our will and testament for us. Thanks? Thanks.

Nice to know we crossed four million visits before going to the big Gator wallow in the sky, at least.

Purify’s fists, unlike Chuck Norris, are not classified as deadly weapons.

I don’t see how you guys can possibly stomach losing anything to [Name Redacted], Urban better coach those boys up for the stretch run here.

Personally I think Fulmer points should stick for dropped charges as well. They already cause the PR damage to the school in question when they hit the papers.

Were Illinois’ all convictions?

Look at the Big 11 and all of its thugery. I have a feeling that a Cali school is going to hit it big soon.

I agree with comment #3 for different reasons. Schools shouldn’t avoid Fulmer glory just because they’re in rural areas where the university holds extra sway over prosecutorial and judicial decisions.

(Not to name names, but, as an example, I have in mind one university where the official court website for its home county used to have a link to the university’s athletic website.)

You still haven’t removed the two points from Florida after Doe’s charges were dismissed. I understand adding extra points for humiliating UF, but at least take them away when the charges have been dropped like you do for PSU and others.

Perhaps if those Big Ten players could run faster, they wouldn’t have been caught.

by Gus Witgenstein on May 7, 2007 4:06 PM EDT reply actions  

i don’t think there is anything illegal about possessing a bullet unless you are a convicted felon. i’m sure different states have different laws, but it wouldn’t be considered a concealed weapon, at least in florida.

Orson in your will you neglect TCOAN—shouldn’t you be giving her to Chris Leak?

Idaho is just showing the typical after-effects of Dennis Erickson’s short-lived reign. However, if Idaho can rack up 17 points in a place where it is really hard to rack up Fulmer Cup points, I wonder what ASU is going to look like when Erickson’s done. Can we see a 100 point FC season? That would be like the mythical 100 point Wilt Chamberlain game.

He left her all of the really valuable stuff. (Well, other than the season tickets).

Wow. T-Kyle, that will is amazing. And I am clearly the big winner in the Swindle Sweepstakes.

And fear not, Swindle—should you pass before I do, I will go to Mexico and celebrate your memory in a fitting fashion. You wouldn’t believe the amount of fun that I can create in Mexico with only $100, eight strings of beads, some Tabasco and a dead hog.

We leave her choice of post-us lover to the lady herself. She bows down to no man.

RCR – I want your life. Getting drunk with other coon asses and going to Ragin Cajun baseball games, being too drunk to remember much else in Vegas except that Noah wasn’t wearing a dress, and now you’re inheriting a freakin’ holiday in Mexico that would make Cheech Marin blush.

Damnitt – makes me wish I knew how to fly a DC-10 (or at least reach the controls) in the cocaine hey days of the early 80’s.

Just the thought of a Bloo designed leader board is enough to cause epileptic seizures. I suspect it would involve lots of flashing lights, and robots, and spinning things, and horns and…

11 (Jeff From LA) – I don’t think it’s hard to rack up crime points in Idaho at all. Backwoods ruralites are fucked up, violent, anti-social individuals, far more so than anyone in a city. Even very dangerous criminals in populated areas have to be around others and have to make some kind of social adjustments in their behavior. I went to high school in the rural South, and I cannot repeat this enough. My grandparents live in the middle of nowhere and ought to be terrified. You do not want to deal with an ice-slingin’ Idahoan, if he’s anything like a meth-cookin’ Mississippian, because that person does not give a shit. And not in the sense that Nick Saban doesn’t give a shit about talking to the media. They don’t give a shit about the law or your life or pretty much any other rational concern, up to and including their own life or health – their pickup, maybe, but not their personal well-being if it comes down to one or the other, and certainly not anyone else’s. Players at Montana State last year dumped a body in the school’s agronomy farm, and that’s just what they find.

Idaho’s also a state known for its large concentration of isolationist white supremacists. So is mine, of course, but I bet it’s actually true about Idaho.

Geez SMQ, knowing your college of choice…I’m going to assume you’re from Perry County.

by jakldawg on May 7, 2007 9:25 PM EDT reply actions  

Nick Saban doesn’t care about the Fulmer Cup. He clearly doesn’t have time for this shit – he hasn’t even figured out a starting running back yet.

I think I made out pretty good in the will- free bourbon, Peter has to buy, and I get to pick the bar? I’ll make the toast a good one, Orson- and I’ll use my drunkest drawl in honor of you.

Also, TKK is a legal eagle of a genius. Any man who knows his way around a legal document gets bonus points in my book.

by Texas Gal on May 7, 2007 11:31 PM EDT reply actions  

Newspaper Hack, if there were a Finebaum Cup, Saban would win going away. I’ve heard that Terri is filing for divorce, citing Finebaum’s love affair as a reason.

But Saban doesn’t have time for that shit, which is probably why Paul stopped fellating Saban for about 2 seconds in his last articull.

Great, great….the courts go and flush all the hard work at Penn State down the drain. Now our players have to go out and find completely new trouble to start instead of just protecting their lead. Don’t worry, where there are beatdowns, rapes, murders, or roberies, Penn State football is there. Tripple digits by the season opener. Mark it down!

The former coach at Nebraska was Tom Osborne, not Osbourne :-p

SMQ, I think you have officially convinced me to never get anywhere near Mississippi after that story of yours. Or Montana for that matter.

jakldawg – Not from Perry County, but it heavily influences that opinion. Very, very heavily.

#26, I know. They’re blowing the lead worse than Michigan State did vs ND. This will really affect their psyches.

Since we’re discussing Orson’s mortality, I just wanted to point out that according to the description over on the right side, Orson & Stranko have been “pushing thirty” for quite awhile now. If this goes on too long, your reputation for honesty & integrity may be damaged. (I am willing to accept that Subcommandante Wayne will remain eternally twenty-three.)

Phil himself was on espn this weekend, they focused in on his fat ass eating peanuts while watching one of his fat daughters play softball for the vols

by matt on May 8, 2007 10:25 AM EDT reply actions  

Yeah, devin, “pushing thirty” is code for “old fucker”. I should know…

Always good to have a will, but in Florida the “executor” is called a personal representative… never liked having anyone called an “executor” dealing with my life or death. Just sayin’…

don’t forget Georgia Southern, five FB players have been arrested the last couple of weeks.

Those are just your typical thug teams anyway. How come Miami is not ranked on this list? Wait, isn’t it relevant to did up thuggary details twenty years ago and just ignore the present….kind of like every other Thug U reporting?
