FULMER CUPDATE: UGA CANDY RAIN EDITION ET AL.
We would be expected to post this with an R. Kelly song, since one of the stories actually involves urinating on someone, but we go curveball and go instead with innuendo-tastic “Candy Rain.”
Multiple and despicable Fulmer Cupdates, beginning with a UGA walk-on and his funsy adventures at Lake Allatoona.
UGA walk-on Tripp Taylor earns charges from an incident two months ago, and oh golly was it worth the wait.
For almost two long months, Charles Rogers says he’s had to grit his teeth and wait for authorities to file charges against a University of Georgia football player who, along with several other college kids, allegedly stripped him of his clothes, beat him and then urinated on him during a Memorial Day weekend attack at Lake Allatoona.
For being involved in this particular candy rain incident, as well as participating in a fight where a high-schooler got hit in the face with a goddamn baseball bat by college-aged students, Taylor earns three points for the dogs, two for the misdemeanor assault charge, and one for the piss bonus awarded by the panel here at EDSBS.
Domestic dispute incident one: Rutgers gets support from its coaching staff as Scarlet Knights assistant Chris Demarest hits his girlfriend in a nightclub in Long Branch, New Jersey. He earns a three point boost for Rutgers, with two for the assault, and one for the “big strong men hitting girls” bonus.
Domestic dispute incident two: What the hell? Was there a full moon this past weekend? We didn’t notice, what with all the running around naked, covered in fur, and killing the innocent in between dodging silver bullets.

Remus Lupin has no comment on this weekend’s activities.
Anyway, Wisconsin running back Lance Smith got into a spat with his girlfriend over whether she owed him five or ten dollars following a cab ride. The argument escalated quickly (they usually do) and culminated in this extremely rational conclusion to the situation:
The woman told police that during the dispute, Smith — whose legal name is Smith-Williams — would not let her out of his North Randall Street apartment and pushed her down as she tried to leave.
Smith then told the woman to go to a nearby convenience store to get change for a $20 bill, but allegedly followed her, still arguing, and pushed her down in the store, the woman told police.
As she fell, the woman dropped the $20 bill and Smith allegedly picked up the cash and took her shoes, DeSpain said.
I’ll ruin you! I’ll destroy you! I’ll…I’LL TAKE YOUR SHOES, BITCH!!! Smith is charged with false imprisonment, robbery and battery, an impressive seven-point score for Wisconsin after the addition of yet another hitting girls point.
We really, really can’t wait to write about actual football, y’all. Really.

Geez, DUIs and FnDC are one thing but this is getting goddman ridiculous. These idiots are turning the Fulmer Cup from a celebration of athletic stupidity into something sad, pathetic and altogether icky.

An important detail from the UGA pee case:
“The friend — a 16-year-old who is not being identified because he is a juvenile —was cutting a piece of wood with a pocket knife when one of the men asked what he was doing.”
Remember, it’s not enough to beat a whittler with a baseball bat, you gotta pee on ‘em. Pee on ‘em good.
It’s called the food chain, mofo.

maskedavenger says:
Orson,
Have you made a ruling on dropped charges (PSU) and not guilty verdicts (UM)? Carson Bulter, former Michigan TE, beat the rap at a judge trial. But while he was found not guilty, Carr is apparently not letting him back on the team. The other player who went to trial, Chris Richards, who was a DB (and not a particularly good one), was found guilty.
With this recent string of nastiness and if Butler’s point gets removed, Michigan might drop off the board or at least be behind the university the Cup was named for.

#11- Yes, I’m sure that young Tripp is an outstanding young man who just happens to hang out with misunderstood youth who beat people with baseball bats and pee on them
He’s wonderful. Hopefully, this whole misunderstanding can be cleared up soon. Tripps and his friends were there for church camp, were trying to show the first kid how to properly hold the knife while whitlin’ and then wanted to get up a leisurely game of softball.

College football. It’s faaaaan-tastic.
With the increasing intensity and variety of offenses, and a scoring system that grows continually more elaborate, the Fulmer Cup is beginning to resemble the BCS more than we could have ever possibly imagined. In the name of fair play, I can only offer one system to declare an outright winner for this year’s Fulmer Cup: Let every one of the offenders be put on a garbage barge where they will bareknuckle box until one of them emerges as king of their floating hell.

I don’t believe this stuff about Tripp Taylor threatening a kid and then peeing on him.

EDSBS is turning into righteous indignation land today. “I’m more moral than you! I detest rapists and engagers of non-controlled physical violence more than you!”
I think it all safe to say that EVERYONE thinks the Mn guy did wrong and should go to prison for a number of years, and anyone who beats another person with a baseball bat, assuming it is not in retaliation for killing the hitter’s parent/spouse/sibling, should also go to prison for a while.

Caleb King was riding a MOPED. During a recent liscense suspension of my own (speeding), I was told by a judge in Athens that it’s a “gray area” as to whether or not you need a liscense to operate a scooter. Jimmy Williamson, the head of the UGA police department, didn’t see it that way. He told me that he’d bust my ass six ways from Saturday. I stayed on a bike and the bus. Regardless, this isn’t news. A kid got a traffic ticket on a scooter.
Orson,
Have we been able to confirm the location of Mud Cat’s car during this incident? As it is now most likely property of the state, is it possible that Caleb was pulled over by an officer in the famed auto? Somebody needs to look into this.

I for one, actually prefer Mardi Gras, It never seemed right having to struggle to give your money away to girls who don’t really appreciate it. – Try being early twenties and not being able to get a lap dance from anyone but the old burned out dancers and you’ll know what Im sayin.

Not to point out the obvious, but
If a college football player repeatedly hits you with a baseball bat (as charged), you have more than a banged up eye to show for it.
So…uh….I’m calling bullshit….on that.
Also…. minus 5 credibility points for expecting people to believe they were boy scouts whittling in the wilderness. No one whittles anymore.

Oops Pow Surprise, 2 first names is bad, but not nearly as having 2 first names and 2 last names. (I know should know as I have 2 first names and 2 last names)
And agree that the only thing worse than that is a girl with a non-traditional spelling. It’s a well known fact that the sluttiest girls in the world are named “Tyffani.” It’s all science really. For those keeping score at home the list of bad people goes: Girls with non-traditional spellings, Two first names, and then hyphenated names. Now, if you could get one that was all 3, well hide the women and children.

Thanks, Brian. I gleamed this gem from that site.
All I have to say is WOW, never seen so many beautiful LADIES in one place.
although I never met any “pushy” women at the cheetah, I can say that you should not go in there unless you have money to spend.
I met my wife at Sugars in Austin TX in 2003. she moved to Atlanta, because Austin dancing was not her thing (too trashy, and most of the girls don’t take care of themselves) she stayed in Atlanta for a year and a half. I went to Atlanta on business, and of course I had to visit the infamous cheetah. Well there she was, I took her off the stage and the rest is history. We have been married since November 2005, and i can honestly say…IF (and a big if at that) you can land a cheetah girl…it is well worth it.
Bragging about landing a stripper wife. Yes, I don’t think today could get any worse, from the Mn incident to this thread, in morality land.

#45, that’s why I’ll avoid the strip clubs ’til I balder, fatter, and richer. I have a better chance of getting a lap dance from a random girl (who’s probably better looking than the stripper in the first place) at a regular bar than a stripper – with a happy ending.

Besides being in great shape and attractive enough to dance at a top club, what are the top benefits of marrying a dancer? (No morality judgment here.)
