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.

Yes, but in the end we all know that Missouri will get passed over for another Big 12 school with a less impressive rap sheet.

Threadjack: What do my Georgia brethren think of the above.
They might just give Dooley a statue and inscribe the following under it:
“Vince Dooley: Not as good as Bear Bryant or Steve Spurrier, but better than Johnny Majors and great when he had Herschel. Also, he never got caught cheating, or really cheating.”

No biggie. I thought it was a decent act, and no matter what Michael Adams thinks, the full title of the field will one day be “Richt Field at Sanford-Dooley Stadium”.

Coop says:
Really, you had to bring up Ray Goof?
Coach Goff had the fortuity to face Clemson at a time when such venerable coaching legends as Ken Hatfield and Tommy West were stumbling about the sidelines.
Those years have been erased from my memory, thanks to bourbon and mescaline.
Sadly, Tommy is 0-2 versus Georgia, but all versus Richt, and there is no shame in that stat, from my perspective, because Georgia got the better of every team in the SEC not named Florida or LSU, with Coach Redacted at the helm, during that 2 year period.

Rival says:
If you bring up Clemson v. UGA in 1990, then I have to mention The Goff and his domination (and UGA’s subsequent domination) of little nephew Clemson.
Just wondering what your point is. So Vince Dooley didn’t beat everybody every year. Neither did Bear nor Spurrier.
Dooley deserves some type of recognition by UGA regardless of his record against other good coaches during his era.

Coop says:
My point is that, what I find interesting about Dooley is, via Georgia alums and fans, and I know plenty, is that he is not revered in that “Bryant, Spurrier, Vaughn, Neyland,” manner, and no outsiders ever compare him to those guys in the top echelon of SEC coaches.
He was the HC at Georgia for approximately 20 years, he won 5 or 6 SEC titles, and 1 national title.
Maybe it has more to do with the manner in which his coaching career ended, as Auburn and others had surpassed him in the conference and Clemson, Auburn, and Florida State were taking the top talent out of the state of Georgia…
but I have never gotten the feeling that Georgia looks at Vince Dooley as their Bear Bryant, or their Robert Neyland, and I find that interesting for whatever reason.

Missouri Waltzer says:
As an owner of one of the cars that was vandalized in the Virginia Avenue Garage (or the vag, as it’s known around these parts), when I saw this, I was hoping that the player who did the vandalizing was Chase Daniel or Jeremy Maclin–just somebody who’s worth a shit. I would have been honored to have got my driver’s side rear view mirror knocked off by Chase Daniel. I would have been honored to get my radio antenna bent beyond repair by Jeremy Maclin. But instead you’re telling me it’s Zachary Wayhart? Fuck that. Bitch better pay me my money.

Coop says:
If it were up to me, Clemson would not be playing on Frank Howard Field.
Howard is the only coach in Clemson history to have a losing record versus South Carolina.
The above is embarrassing.
I have no problem conceding that Vince Dooley had a better coaching career than Frank Howard, just as I have no problem stating that Mark Richt has done a better job at Georgia than Tommy Bowden has done at Clemson.
I just want some Georgia opinions on Vince Dooley at this point.
How do you view him, should Georgia be playing at Sanford-Dooley Stadium or on Dooley field, etc etc etc?
But, you will not get no qualms from me in characterizing Frank Howard as slightly above mediocre.

Personally, I like the idea of honoring Dooley with the athletic complex. He was an AD as well as a football coach.
I don’t care to much for hyphenated naming. Cheapens tradition, so to speak. Dooley-Sanford would sound like it was named for Lamonts brother.

Rival says:
Most Georgia fans I tailgate with (those aged 30 and older) do hold Dooley in high esteem.
The older crowd does think of him as UGA’s “Bear” and definitely give him greater weight in SEC history (can’t get over the Florida thing).
The younger crowd hopes that Richt blows Dooley’s record away and don’t really linger on the past (considering recent success), but they understand that he was a successful coach and a good steward of the athletic department for decades.
As the son of a former college football player and high school coach and being around football coaches of varying levels for years, I truly appreciate the type of coach that Dooley is/was and the steady presence and leadership he brought to UGA. Give him a statue at the stadium. Put his name on the field. I’m not a big fan of hyphenated names, but naming the field isn’t a bad idea. Or maybe change Sanford Drive to Dooley Drive or the bridge. I dunno. Do something near or with the stadium though.
Just leave room for a similar tribute to Richt in twenty years…

I meant, “greater weight in SEC history than Spurrier”
And it’s called “bias”. No screaming about that comment, please. Just reporting how UGA fans think.

Coop says:
Yeah, because 6 SEC titles in 20 years is equitable to 6 SEC titles in 12 years at a school that, prior to Spurrier’s arrival, had won zero SEC titles.
Wow, you guys really do hate Florida that much.

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…

I can never hear Danny Ford’s name without recalling that bumper sticker,”IPTAY: It’s Probation Time Again, Ya’ll.”

Dooley’s success came when the SEC = Run the Football.
Spurrier changed that.

Rival says:
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.

Coop says:
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.

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.
