FULMER CUPDATE: AGGIERAVATED ASSAULT EDITION
Hullabaloo, Caneck! Caneck!
Hullabaloo, Caneck! Caneck!
Duct tape, robbery, assault charge- check! Check! Check!
Two Texas A&M Aggies make a smashing debut in the Fulmer Cup, or whatever the noise made by an apartment door crashing in is, because that’s one of the things two Aggie football players were indicted for on Thursday in Bryan/College Station.
They’re accused of robbing a Callaway Villas apartment November 29, hitting a person and tying up two others with duct tape. Police believe the alleged armed robbery was part of a drug deal.
Babalola starred on the Bryan High School football team before earning a starting spot on the A&M offensive line.
That’s a phenomenal entry into the Fulmer Cup: two aggravated robbery charges alone take the Aggies to six points, and the felony drug charges faced by joiner likely bump the total up to a provisional score of nine points for the Aggies, vaulting them into the lead. That’s…that’s just got to hurt, Cadets. Your reaction?
We know. It’s painful. (HT: Dave)

Hannibal Montegna says:
The crime in question happened in November, which is also when they were arrested. Does the indictment make that an ‘offseason’ incident?
Also, stamp out people who write ‘first,’ before it’s too late.

Orson Swindle says:
That’s up for debate. Initally, we’d say the whole thing was an in-season incident, and doesn’t count, and that we need to slow down on the java this morning.

These guys weren’t able to play in the bowl game due to this. Shaky addition to the Fulmer rankings, but with the way Aggie hoops is headed, we’ll take it as a positive.

#4 – That’s a ludicrous post.
We don’t have any 5 star recruits.

Brian O'Blivion says:
Orson, does that mean you’re not counting Louisville’s FC points even though their season was over? We still don’t have the “Queen of Hearts” ruling on that.
I agree 100% with Hannibal on the “First” thing. Ban these douchebags.

Orson Swindle says:
No, Louisville’s points don’t count. The first day of the season is the day after the title game, no sooner.
The Queen has spoken.

Honestly, just as easily as I could mock John Grisham’s novels for bad stereotypes, lawyers, money, adultery, murder, meh…
I could rip into Mr. Ross’ work
The only difference is 7 million readers have purchased Grisham’s novels and he would be crying all the way to the bank….
but I doubt I could say the same for the former.
Nice work, Aggies.

Orson knows it’s in-season, but he can’t pass up an opportunity to post the Aggie Squeeze

Coop says:
Oh, and Orson, you suck for not including Louisville’s points.
Again, SPIRIT OF THE LAW > letter of the law.
Well, you don’t suck, and I am just sorry all over for making such statements.
Keep bringing the funny so I can keep bringing the judgmental.
We got two 4 stars, according to Rivals, in the last 24 hours. Suck it, Kings of College Football.
ACC Title happens NOW, er, soon!
Yes, SOON!!!!
See you in the Miami next January, douchebag Big East school that I mock as we stole all your decent universities, and now that RR and Petrino are gone you shouldn’t be in the BCS anymore.
I feel like an SEC alum, now! Rabble rabble rabble….

Tennessee should have gotten a 5th point for this:

Once again a football player was the story this past week for his off field conduct when he was arrested for under age drinking and public intoxication. This time Phil Fulmer wasted no time in sending a clear message to both the team and freshman running back Daryl Vereen. He not only disciplined Vereen for his behavior but rousted the entire team at 6 a.m. Tuesday for a run.

Brian says:
Seems like an iffy points award, if it happened during the season, but I am fine with it as I already said my piece on you being the Alpha and Omega of the Fulmer cup’s scoring.
You still answer to the masses through the accepted validity of your scoring choices, and thus the continued success of the cup itself, so there is a check-and balance built in either way.

Is it awful that, even with the Youtubes blocked by “the man” here at the office, I know exactly what the video was of?
No? Ok.
I have a football problem, WHAT?!

OhioDawg says:
Is the “First” guy just making the point that he was the first to post? As low as the bar is set around this joint you’d think he could come up with something.
Do you think they brought the duct tape with them or just looked around and found it?
Damn I wish this would stick!
Coop – have you been drinking? That’s a fantastic piece of rambling you did there.

A humble proposition: All matters that Orson reflexively thinks to bring before the masses for a consensus opinion should instead go before Judge TCOAN.
Think of Orson’s reporting on that kangaroo court.

People always forget that zip ties are so much more portable and effective than duct tape.

Aerobab, around here that just means you are normal. Just like in prison everyone is normal. It is only when we go out into “regular” society that we are not normal. Unlike all the losers in “regular” society we know what we have a problem with. The monkey on our back is fine as long as we give him more beer.

“Some programs have an inflated value of who they should be and never have been,” says former Oklahoma coach Barry Switzer.
Did Switzer have any program in mind?
“Texas A&M,” he said. “Texas A&M has never won.”

24 – Seeing as how A&M has an endowment only rivaled by Ivy League schools…
they can be on par with Texas and Oklahoma.
Whether they will or not, or whether they “choose” to be, and let’s be honest, what is more important, the biology lab or a better weight room, is yet to be determined.
And, Ohio Dawg, I have not been drinking, but I left something on another thread when I got home last night.
But, I would say I was still liquored up at 11 AM, given what happened last evening.
Yeah, post-gaming or recapping on EDSBS…
Lowest Low Ever.
That is all.

Can we have an official update on whether Louisville’s points count? If A&M’s points are in then Louisville’s certainly qualify, being committed after their season ended.

Twenty Ninth! Okay, I’ll stop. I did think that the Hula Bowl signified the beginning of the Fulmer Cup season. But I could be wrong. BTW, I only wrote first because I knew folks would react. Which was funny to me.

Still that’s kinda shady scoring.

It appears that the Provisional Score may increase to 15, based on what I’ve read from the AP wire report.
