FULMER CUPDATE: INDIANA’S EYES WIDE SHUT NIGHT
“He began shouting profanity and kicking his legs violently,” Minger said. “Then he began to swing his elbows and arms, and the medics had to restrain his arms, at which point he passed out again.”
While medics were trying to take a blood sample, Johnson regained consciousness and began knocking over materials inside the ambulance, and knocking an IV out of his arm, Minger said. He was placed in a secure portion of the hospital.
Dad? No, it’s Indiana football player Darius Johnson, the most prominent casualty of what must have been The Party That Ended The Universe in Bloomington, Indiana this past Saturday night. Johnson earned resisting law enforcement, illegal consumption, and public intoxication charges the incident described above after he was found passed out in the staircase of an apartment building. Four other Indiana players earned disorderly conduct and public intoxication charges about 40 minutes earlier for peeing in public.
Five big dudes all this fucked up off a something consumed at a college party can only mean one thing: a keg of Icehouse and different permutations of fortified wine were involved. Certain other things had to happen, too: people of wildly varying attractiveness scales mated, a video game system was irreparably damaged at one point in the evening, and someone powered a hole into the hopelessly ruined brown carpet of an off-campus apartment with acrid cheap-booze vomit. If memory serves us correctly, the whole scene should have smelled like a homeless man exploded inside the apartment.

Sorry, dude. When the mango grove gets into me, I don’t even know where I am.
The charges are all one pointers and total seven points for the Hoosiers.

First the bowl game, now a solid team effort to reach the upper echelon of the Fulmer Cup. The Indiana resurgence continues.

there are more than 7 points there.
at least 4 illegal consumption or public intoxication or diosorderly conduct (in spite of their ages, the 21 y/o’s were still cited for a total of 8 points?), 2 noise ordinance arrests for repeated violations (2 points?), and 3 citations for Johnson alone (3 points?)…
13 points?
-where is the police blotter?

It seems like bonus points would be added for Teamwork. Maybe that’s just me.

Not to be “that guy” who went to IU and thus knows the landscape of the campus and surrounding areas, but McNutt is actually a dorm — not an apartment building.
Which, in my opinion, makes Johnson passing out there all the more better.

Our players truly reflect the spirit of IU. We have grown so far beyond throwing water balloons at cops while sober and failing to calculate correct cab fare. Shooting rocket!!! I think it’s time to hold hands and sing the alma mater.
Come and join in song together
Shout with might and main!
Our beloved alma mater
Sound her praise again!
Gloriana frangiapana
‘Ere to her be truuuuuuuuue!
She’s the pride of Indiana
Hail to old IU!!!
Ba ba bah bah bah bah baaaaaaaaaaaaah!

It’s great to see teamwork in action.
Maybe we need an anti-ETJ3 award for the school with the most individual players contributing to the team points.

“and someone powered a hole into the hopelessly ruined brown carpet of an off-campus apartment with acrid cheap-booze vomit…”
If we’re referring to a certain Friday evening during February of 1992, that “someone” would be me.
I like to refer to the rather enlightening incident as “Why One Should Never Mix Southern Comfort and Cheap-Ass Beer.”

Ahhh, SoCo. Sweet nectar. Almost everyone who has drank SoCo in any kind of quantity usually has a story about it. Kind of like Mezcal that way.
We were drinking copious amounts of chilled SoCo shots at a bar one night when a buddy of mine (it wasn’t me, I swear!) decided to switch to Ouzo. He asked the bartender to light the shot on fire, and for some unknown reason, this person complied. He took the shot.
Only problem was that he was so hammered already, he forgot to blow out the blue flame on the shot. The sight of him frantically waving his arms and reaching for anything to put out the fire on his tongue, lips and mouth are etched in my brain to this day. Absolutely hysterical. He didn’t think it was so funny however.
