MISSOURI IS IN SAD NEED OF NIGHTLIFE
The Fulmer Cup now gets serious as Missouri turns itself from one-trick pony (a single large arrest for massive drug possession) to a legitimate contender. Tigers, you may thank walk-on offensive lineman Zachary Wayhart and his undeniable, irresistible lust for vandalizing cars for turning Mizzou from an Ellis T. Jones III candidate to a Fulmer Cup leader.
Police said the damage to vehicles in the Virginia Avenue garage occurred between midnight and 2 a.m. Feb. 3. Most of the damaged vehicles were on the first floor of the parking lot.
Owners reported myriad problems, including slashed tires, keyed doors, smashed windshields and footprints on the hoods of cars.
Wayhart picked up four counts of “tampering,” meaning he either vandalized these cars or messed with some high-profile contract negotiations of some kind. Tampering is a a one pointer, meaning Wayhart earns four points for Mizzou and puts them squarely in the lead for the Fulmer Cup. Also, Missouri clearly needs some nightlife. What, Branson isn’t enough for you, you greedy bastards? You’ve got Yakov Smirnoff–WHAT ELSE DO YOU WANT?
ps. Branson has a show called “Baldknobbers.” This would be a totally different show in Bangkok, we bet.
Nightmare fuel: Baldknobbers.

#25 — Those points were disqualified because the arrests happened during the football season. Off-season arrests only.

We did not want to lose Ellis in Starksville, plain & simple. It’s hard to compete when UPig or whomever comes in with a hefty raise (he was around $150K, Piggie offered him almost $900K over 3 yrs).
He did wonders with marginal talent. If we had a decent OC that could help keep the D off the field, well…that’s another story.

33 - I cannot believe I am doing this, but Ellis Johnson was Spurrier’s first choice as DC.
There were some issues that Johnson did not like with the USC administration, and when BVG bolted for Atlanta, Johnson’s salary package was sweetened considerably, in the form of bonuses, some easy to attain, others not so much.
But, Johnson wanted to come home, so to speak, but I don’t think Hyman was willing to play ball the first time around.
Oh, and I hope you hang 50 on USCe in W-B.

Yeah, but in the 90s it was Spurrier and Fulmer and….?
Alabama early, but that faded.
Winning when everyone was running the ball and playing decent defense - that’s hard.
And, yes, we hate Florida and Spurrier. Film at 11.
Although some Spurrier hatred may have turned into pity with his move to South Cackalacka. However, I will have no such pity cheering the Dawgs to hang 30+ in Columbia next year versus Visor and his 2nd-choice DC.

I can never hear Danny Ford’s name without recalling that bumper sticker,”IPTAY: It’s Probation Time Again, Ya’ll.”
(dating myself)
Dooley’s success came when the SEC = Run the Football.
Spurrier changed that.

On the Ellis T. Jones thing:
What does it take for a school/person to come off the Ellis T. Jones watchlist? Do any additional points for the school aside from the individual trigger that? I’d hate to see a 52 point contribution slighted because of another single DUI.
Or does it go to the individual with the most points?
Or somewhere in between? Perhaps the individual needs to hold a supermajority of the schools total points?
So many questions…
