FULMER CUPDATE 8/27/07 : DEFEAT REDACTED
Call it the belated correction edition. Explanations, corrections, and outright apologies follow. HT as always to Brian, who is hung like Reggie Fuckin’ Nelson.

Illinois’ amazing comeback. Penn State looked so close to edging Illinois on a silly alcohol citation before five out of seven charges were dropped in the case against Anthony Scirrotto, one of the football players involved in the apartment fight we cannot help but refer to as “Bootgate.”
For speed’s sake, we’ve dropped Penn State six points immediately, and really should be somewhere around Michigan’s ranking and definitely below Florida. In true flubalicious fashion, Team Redacted yanks victory from the jaws of defeat, resulting in a stunning comeback for what appears to be a victory for Illinois in the 2007 Fulmer Cup. And as with most things [NAME REDACTED], it comes through no actual accomplishments of excellence of their own.
Arkansas DE: “Ecstasy got da best ah me.” Playing football is stressful, so why not relax? And when we say relax, we mean really, really relax, as in cranking up a joint and picking up a little MDMA on the way to a friend’s house.
The officer asked Harrison to step out of the car. The police report says Harrison consented to a search and told the officer he had “just a pill” in a pocket of his cargo shorts. The officer reported finding a small plastic bag containing one blue Ecstasy pill.
Hill got hit with felony controlled substance possession, which is three points there, plus a slew of driving citations, including the shame of having no seat belt on at the time of the arrest. Ever heard the oft-cited rule that drunks survive crashes because they’re so much more relaxed than sober people? Stoned people rolling on X must have an even higher rate of survival, especially me, since their erect penises break the windshield glass on impact like one of those spikes you can buy in case you find yourself trapped underwater in your car.
Award ceremony: Wednesday, 3:00 p.m, when the FC season closes. It’s gonna take a miracle to knock off Illinois, barring an Arizona State football bank robbery, renaissance Miami block party turned shootin’ ‘n lootin’ riot, or the inevitable exposure of the illegal human cloning operation that’s been producing slow, accurate white quarterbacks for Michigan for thirty years.

Gahhh.. don’t consent to searches, people! If they insist, make it make them clear that you have no choice.

Ummmm ….. I can only assume that Illinois is on there because of Aleaze …..
He was not enrolled at UI when he was arrested. He was definately not on the football team.
How does that count as points? The guy was with the team 3 weeks ….. if you are going to count former players, than please do it uniformely.

It’s terribly hard to get an erection on E, yo.

#35: Lujack: Queen of the Space Unicorns? Funny stuff.
While Greenberg of the Sporting News may not be in the same top level caliber of college football writers, such as Maisel of ESPN, or Mandel or Murphy of Sports Illustrated, the Sporting News is not an anti-ND rag. Dinehart picked ND to win the MNC last year and Greenberg wrote about ND: “…I kind of like Notre Dame. I’m still enamored of Charlie Weis,…”

Penn State trying for a last minute comeback with a couple of underage drinking citations.

But based on the Clausen precedent, I think this is only two points.

#39 Lujack- I don’t know, man, I think they should still play the games…unless Mark May concurs with the 1-7 prediction, in which case yeah, why bother playing.

Sure, Florida’s only third; but they’re doing it with [NAME REDACTED'S] players.

Well, if no less an authority than *Steve Greenberg* wrote that ND could go 1-7, then they shouldn’t even bother playing the games.
Sure, it’s possible. It’s also possible that you might be coronated Queen of the Space Unicorns, but neither are very fucking likely (mostly due to your lame jokes (”Lester ‘the Molester’ Miles?” That’s the best you could do? Really?) and incessant anti-ND baiting — those won’t win you any congeniality points!).
Give it a rest already. Seriously.

Maybe Lloyd Carr can lobby on [Name Redacted]’s behalf to get a few more seconds put back on the clock.

Doubling what #6 posted…
The University of Idaho earned more points last week with the arrests of 2 current and 1 former football player, as well as 1 current member of the women’s track team. Please add this to the Fulmer Cupdate. Also, add bonus points for living up to the “Vandal” namesake…they need all the credit they can get.

Allegedly, Miss SC attends Appalachian State. Insert obligatory HOT HOT HOT pun/joke.

Coma Time Dept:
Edsall: I think you need enough stuff to keep you in a coma for the whole season.

Methinks someone has seriously undercalculated Alabama’s score.
They’re not going to win it, but they were in the running. They had 4 players on various charges, which at 8 points a piece per minor charge would put them on the board.

If only there were an in-season edition.
Arkansas would dominate. Just wait until they lose two or three SEC games in a row, like they do every season. Shit will start hitting the fan and Antwain Robinson will inevitably rob someone at gunpoint (again… I mean errr…. nothing to see here) for some coke so that he can sell it and go roll some X with his buddy Marcus.
Frosh kicker Alex Tejada will probably become the biggest pot head on the team. Those field goals are stressful dude.
Casey Dick will hit up a meth binge when his little brother takes his job and D-Mac and his partner in crime Dave Chappele… I mean Felix Jones, sorry… will kick the shit out of some skinny guys coming out of Grubs just off Dickson St. Maybe Fred Talley will join them in a “blast from the past” type moment.
