FULMER CUPDATE: UTEP'S ROLLIN', BABEEE!!!
This week's big board includes the mysterious and possibly large score made by UTEP this week, represented by question marks. As with the question mark boxes in Super Mario 3, hit it with your head and see what happens! You may turn into a flying raccoon, grow to twice your normal size, or get the special Gallon of PCP bonus.
The addenda, errata, and apologies follow below:

Notes:
Arkansas State falls from the big board due to the dismissal of all charges against players following a ROOOOOOOOOOLLLL BOUNCE! roller skating fracas. We can't find a link, presumably because the Arkansas court system is clogged solid with cases involving FOIA requests for Houston Nutt's cell phone records. Should someone find one, please send it or way hyah?
UTEP's got serious points coming based on the involvement of several players in a bar brawl so big it could have come straight out of a John Ford Western. (Haymakers for everyone!) Police arrived at the scene early Sunday morning to what they described as "a large fight," and began arresting anything that hadn't already been thrown into a wagon wheel chandelier, tossed down the length of the bar, or punched into the watering trough by a burly cowpoke. The impressive list of charges follows:
Isaiah Carter, 17, a freshman linebacker from Converse, Texas, was charged with public intoxication; Damon Cromartie, 20, a sophomore defensive back from Riverside, Calif., was charged with disorderly conduct; Tufick Shadrawy, 20, a sophomore wide receiver from Arlington, was charged with assault on a public servant, attempt to take weapon from peace officer and interference with public duties; Brandon Thigpen, 17, a freshman defensive back from Moreno Valley, Calif., was charged with public intoxication; and Brian Wilkins, 20, a sophomore linebacker from Tustin, Calif., was charged with assault on public servant, resisting arrest, search or transport and interference with public duties.
That's looking to be somewhere in the neighborhood of a powerful 12-14 point surge, proving once again that Mike Price's teams know how to score points in a hurry. Points pending difficult differential equations needed to calculate properly.
USF RB Mike Ford keeps USF's ever-growing profile on the swell in the Fulmer Cup, as well, earning himself a contempt of court arrest for ignoring three outstanding warrants, which sounds pretty contemptuous to us. One warrant? That's mere disdain. Two warrants constitutes snootiness. Three? Contempt, sirrah. One point for USF, who earns it but can't make it onto this year's diversified and competitive board.

You gotta like Tufick Shadrawy – assauting the cops and trying to take their guns. Nice! That scrum must have looked like the dust cloud when Spike kicks Sylvester’s ass in the Bugs Bunny cartoons.

It’s a sad day in Arkansas, State falls from the board here and Ark Tech is being hurt in recruiting by its team name, the Wonder Boys. Things are looking up though for Tech, they are taking fan votes for a new nickname, so vote early and vote often.

It’s good to see that Mike Ford has gotten his shit together since he failed to qualify to get into Alabama.
Oh wait…

“Assault on a Public Servant” is a crime? WTF? I thought this was a government for the people, by the people.

If UTEP hadn’t left the WAC we’d have a BCS caliber conference.

llpvol,
I hate that Tech is changing it’s name. I love the crazy ass nicknames from the teams of the old Arkansas Intercollegiate Conference. Oh well, such is the life of D-2 football.

He probably tried to get a hold of the guy’s mace or something, not his actual weapon.

Forget John Ford. Sounds more like a Sam Peckinpah joint
by chickensupernova on Jul 11, 2007 11:19 AM EDT reply actions
11: Yeah, probably just a grab for mace. Grabbing at an officer’s gun usually ends with the grabber being “subdued” with a few shots from said gun.

If only the boys had crossed the border they could have created all the mayhem and destruction they wanted in Ciudad Juarez and then crossed back to the US. Of course if they are caught committing crimes in Mexico the punishment could be much worse. They could end up on the wrong end of a donkey show.
This raises the question: if a D-1A football player commits a crime across the border in either Mexico or Canada does that mean that they earn no Fulmer Cup points or do they earn more points since they are now wanted in another country?
I realize that this only applies to certain schools that are close to either Mexico or Canada such as UTEP and Buffalo. San Diego State and New Mexico State are bit farther, but I am sure they could find a way.

I think it depends on the Fulmer Cup points exchange rate, which is floated on the open market.
by Stranko Montana on Jul 11, 2007 11:26 AM EDT reply actions
Extradition and Interpol should at least rack up FC style points.
by drogue on Jul 11, 2007 11:27 AM EDT reply actions
Stranko, is that exchange rate Euro- or Yen-based?
by SunDawg on Jul 11, 2007 11:28 AM EDT reply actions
But the Chinese are buying up all the FC points and artifically inflating the value of the Mao Tse Tung points. Standing in front of a tank worth 500 points my ass!

Good to see that Mike Price is still rolling baby!
If the guy truly reached for the officer’s mace or some other secondary tool on his bat belt I hope the cop yelled at him over and over while cuffing and stuffing him “This is Division One FOOTBALL!”

Shouldn’t Auburn get points for Iron’s ‘midget in a suitcase’ caper? He violated both the law and political correctness custom by 1) failing to purchase a valid separate ticket for his concealed midget-manbitchtoy and 2) implied the midget was simply ‘carry-on luggage’ . But then again maybe Irons should count triple since he spent 12 years in Auburn’s Sociology Dept and learned the suitcase trick from Tuberville himself.

About the Arkansas Tech name change…Why wouldn’t they just make the men’s teams the Golden Suns, which is what they call the women’s teams? Seems pretty cut n’ dry.

Not to fear. USF no doubt will be back on the board, and The Jim will be dispensing his hug punishment in full force.

Bama is trying to make the big board with about two points:
Deadrick, Upchurch arrested over weekend:
TUSCALOOSA – Two University of Alabama football players, Brandon Deadrick, 19, and Roy Upchurch, 22, were arrested early Saturday morning on misdemeanor charges following an altercation in front of The Legacy, a bar along the UA strip.
Both were released on bail hours after being transported to the Tuscaloosa County Jail. According to jail records, Upchurch was released on $300 bond. Deadrick was released on a $1,500 bond.
Deborah Lane, a university spokesperson, said the two UA athletes are enrolled in summer school and confirmed that both were arrested in a story posted Sunday night on The Tuscaloosa News Web site.
A sophomore, Deadrick, is a 6-foot-4, 271-pound defensive lineman from Elizabethtown, Ky. Upchurch is a 6-foot, 191-pound sophomore running back from Tallahassee, Fla., who had surgery on his right ankle in October 2006.
Head coach Nick Saban was out of town when told of the arrests.
“We are still in a fact-finding situation currently,” UA athletic department spokesman Doug Walker said.
According to a Tuscaloosa Police Department report, Deadrick was arrested for criminal mischief, resisting arrest and giving a false name. Officers said Upchurch was arrested by UA police officers.
A Tuscaloosa City police spokesman said no fights or injuries were reported in the incident.
