FULMER, THE CUDDLY SIDE.
We usually get out the harpoons when the words "Phil Fulmer" appear on our radar--both because we dislike him, and bringing down something that big requires the use of serious tools. But Gene Wojeickdasdfhosqwkui of ESPN.com has to go ahead and highlight the positive side of Solomon Grundy's soul we didn't want to believe existed.
Fulmer's first fundraiser dinner earned the Jason Foundation about $12,000. "I thought we raised the national debt," Flatt said.
Fulmer did the dinners, the public-service announcements, the speeches and appearances. And if funds were still short, he reached into his own pocket.
If Flatt asked Fulmer to call a kid who was struggling with depression, the only question was, "What's the phone number?" And he didn't hesitate when Flatt asked him to talk with parents who had lost a son or daughter to teenage suicide.
DAMN YOU GENE WOKEJFKDSCWHATTHEFUCKEVER! We don't want to mention that Fulmer not only has a soul, but works with a foundation that works with teen suicide prevention, and calls them personally, and gives them money. He is pure, dumb evil, Gene Unspellable! How much did it cost you to write that article, huh? Two grand with expenses?
Well now, think of the cost to our veil of willful ignorance, Gene. That was priceless. PRICELESS, DAMN YOU! Now we'll have to think of some other way to type "Phil Fulmer is very, very fat" every time we mention his name, like "Phil Fulmer is calorically imbalanced, or worse yet, "...is very jolly." You have raped us with your tale of Fulmer's generosity and kindness--and not even in that funny "clown being raped" funny way, either.

Fulmer, seen here with Charlie Daniels, raises money for a good cause. Fuckity fuck fuck fuck.

Amen. Seeing as this got a post of its own, and I probably won’t follow the rules anyway…I’m switching my designated coach-to-hate-on back to my old standby – Bobby Bowden.

What!?! No post regarding the laughable disciplinary system and PSU? Two players arrested with possible felony and misdemeanor, and they were “expelled” from school for the second term of summer school. Accoring to their lawyers, they will be able to practice in the fall and will be eligible to play during the season. That is, unless they are convicted by the court!!!!!
What a joke.

I get most of your references, which is either a credit or disgrace to my many years of public education, but I do not understand the Solomon Grundy reference.
I thought SG = the Orgeron. Is that not correct anymore, or is SG merely representative of somebody who is big and dumb and causes destruction and refers to himself in 3rd person?
Solomon Grundy SMASH! Solomon Grundy KILL!

Well Orson, there goes the 2007 rules. I know Phil is an easy target (and I fully support blasting Gene Alphabetsoup), but didn’t you agree to keep it to 1 coach this year?
You are an addict sir.

My name is Orson Swindle, and I…I have a football problem. And a drinking problem. Oh, and I’m addicted to Brazillian prostitutes. And co-fucking-caine! Ahh, fuck it…let’s go bowling.

You could’ve at least mentioned that the phone Fulmer uses to call the kids has cheese doodle smudges on it. Sheesh.

Despite our well-formed and culturally acceptable dislike, loathing and burning hate for the coaches of all of our respective foes, most of these folks are genuinely decent to good guys. They are competitive, obviously, and can’t let Coach Hoeppener make them look bad.
Except, of course, for (fill in the blank) and (fill in the blank).

There really should be an Official EDSBS NCAA 08 Tournament.
Oh, and Mercenaries BOOM!

Mercenaries 2 and NCAA 08 (specifically the 99 rating for McFadden and inclusion of the Wildcat) are going to lead to me finally purchasing a 360 or a PS3.
I now share your orgasmic joy with each new trailer for M2. Perhaps TCOAN and Miss Wheat will need to form a support group.

Surely this is an elaborate plot concocted by Satan’s retarded cousin (AKA Phil)? Dammit. Did I just give Fulmer credit for an elaborate plot? Impossible! Universe… collapsing… on itself… must… reconcile… irreconcilable!…

Re #11: No, that was a real, live (well, at least it started that way) parrot. I linked the particulars in my Fulmer Cup pre-season preview. I still consider that to be one of the seminal events of the pre-Fulmer Cup era.

As for Phat Phil, I’ll paraphrase something I’ve heard John (“Junior”) Feinstein say about Bobby Knight: “Just because he helps little old ladies across the street nine times, he thinks you should ignore it when he kicks one the tenth time.”
Similarly, Phil’s charitable works — as admirable as they may be — don’t give him a free pass on the other more ethically challenged aspects of the Tennessee program.

I felt you always made a mistake by not just counting Phil as your ad hominem attackee from the beginning. Your attacks on Phil have always outnumbered your attacks on Bowden. Gotta play the odds, Swindle!

PaulC – it’s too bad the need for Fulmer to call Pelosi’s parens hasn’t come up yet.

Maybe kids in Tennessee woudln’t be depressed if Phil’s “student athletes” weren’t robbing them, raping them, or breaking their jawbones into smithereens.
