JUMBO FULMER CUPDATE: VOLS, BAMA, AND COCKS, OH MY!
There's much going on and Brian's not going to have the big board until tomorrow morning, so here's your jumbo-sized Fulmer Cupdate for the day. It's a classic one at that: all SEC, DUI, weed, and a double Yellowhammer State felony extravaganza.

Ready to rock!
Britton Colquitt can't drive after five drinks. Therefore, he earns a DUI for smashing into a car, causing $400 worth of damage, hitting a tree stump, and admitting the whole thing to officers in his arrest. To Fulmer's credit, Colquitt earns the crack-the-whip momentum of the Vols' current streak of misbehavior in one of the stiffest Vol penalties we can remember: suspended for the first five games of '08 and stripped of his scholarship. It's three more points for the Vols, who aren't in the lead--that's Missouri, who should have 14 points on the board from tomorrow--but it's a terrifically strong showing for the Vols.
The cloned fourth Colquitt will have to step in for Britton. He should be out of the jar by May and ready.
Alabama pulls in a double felony charge on unspecified first-degree armed robbery charges for Jeremy Elder. First-degree armed robbery, under Alabama law:
Under state law, first-degree robbery involves either a "deadly weapon or dangerous instrument" or someone causing "serious physical injury to another." Both charges are Class A felonies.
The details could be juicy, but for now the blind-item charges get six points. Alabama may not claim their 32nd national title in the Fulmer Cup yet.
The Cocks get in on this with their first points of the season, and it's a natural: weed. A Cocks classic:
Authorities say LeCorn, 19-year-old USC wide receiver Matthew Clements, and another man, 18-year-old John Casselberry, were detained after authorities responded to a call of loud music from their car. Officers say they smelled marijuana inside.
It's always a great idea to turn up the music if you're going to be smoking weed in your car. Especially if you're a black teenager in South Carolina. Cops never, ever look for that. Nope.

Elder held two students up at gun point for $26. You can’t make that up!

The Elder thing is just further evidence that college athletes should be granted some sort of stipend. They shouldn’t have to resort to armed robbery. Elder is just a victim of a culture that treats student-athletes little better than slaves. Except that they’re allowed to learn to read (in some cases). Won’t somebody think about the student-athletes!
And just in case, the above was tongue-in-cheek.

The Elder arrest should put bed any rumors that Bama pays its players…

Also, that picture is disturbing in a way that I can’t put into words.

I think the Tennessee ordeal may give Saban an idea for running off those extra scholarships and look like a good guy for doing it. With all those die hard Alabama fans, he could easily make a call and get some no names arrested.
I seriously have no hard feelings towards Alabama or Saban. I’m just throwing it out there in case he reads this board and needs some help.

It’s hard out there for a scholarship athlete.

Les Paul needs to sue Gibson for allowing a product bearing his name to be defaced so.

If you’re going to rob somebody, do it with some gusto man. I mean it’s dumb to toss away your life because you feel like mugging somebody, but at least grab a car or some flat screen TVs.

How many points for the feloniously disturbing couch behind Fulmer in the picture?

After seeing that picture (which is missing the half-empty box of Krispy Kreme’s), I think the rumbling sound was Buck Owens turning over in his grave.
It’s nice to see the SEC step up in the Fulmer Cup and not just let the other conferences run roughshod over them. Judging from Phil’s suspension, UF must be game 6.

Phil looks downright svelt in that picture…..he must have gone intravenous with the donuts following that…
O – tell Brian not to forget Kansas (here and here), Duke, and Cincinnati too, or else he’s hung like Reggie Ball, not Nelson. That is all.

Crabapple,
Let’s be a little more positive, its a half FULL box of Krispy Kremes. And let me assure you, not a rarer photo can be found than one with both Phatimus and a box with any more than zero Krispy Kremes remaining. It simply does not and cannot exist. A camera with a fast enough shutter speed has not been invented yet.
But, I can also say this, further CSI analysis of the gleam in his eye reveals that he is actually looking over the left shoulder of the photo taker and the reflectionn on his cornea reveals a lacky returning with an arm full of Hot Now Krispy Kreames. Hence the growing smirk, to shit eating grin, to shrooming slack jawed gape. The resulting carnage is something of which I cannot write… I’ll just say the resulting sugar coma lasted for a several days.

If we would’ve only chop-blocked Elder, this sort of thing wouldn’t have happened. Rehab keeps kids off the street, you know.

UGA is the Vols sixth opponent.
With this recent arrest by Elder, is there any doubt that Saban is building an SEC title contender?

I hope Steve Spurrier is happy with what he’s wrought w/r/t slackening SC’s admission standards for football players: guys who are too dumb to turn the stereo down whilst hotboxing. Stay classy, Columbia!

#5,
You honestly believe Dark Lord Saban has time for this shit?

- the kicker doesn’t count methinks. He was a Sr. last season and won’t be back.
O will be the judge, jury and executioner of that of course.

I know Saban had to make room for all those guys he oversigned, just didn’t know this would be how it would get done.
I have a new theory for everyone to smoke on…
Oversigning and the Fulmer Cup have something in common…I think we can look at the numbers and see that teams that have low Fulmer Cup numbers are not oversigning and teams who have high Fulmer Cup points are…
I know one team that doesn’t oversign and has less than 5 Fulmer Cup points in the history of the cup.

- I’m disturbed that that Les Paul is missing the neck pickup. That makes it something that few guitarists would ever actually use, even without the horrible paint job. They were obviously cutting corners but that’s like putting out a special edition of a car with only 2 gears.

TAFKastOSUB,
You got the tone and delusion right, but it needs to be longer.
oc phil,
Between the guitar, the couch, the commemorative painting, and Phil’s dazed look, I can’t decide which is worse. They combine to form an unsettling whole. It could almost be art if the photographer had been going for awkward. Or if he was trying to capture the disjointed nature of the Tennessee football program.

On the Elder arrest, he was going to rob a bank, but they were closed and had to settle on Plan B…..guess he never saw the movie “Dead Presidents” or “Heat” or Oceans 11,12 or 13…..thats how ya robs shit, ya gotta have a plan that is timed down to every second, ya just cant make shit up as ya go along as felonies go…..betcha he didnt even wear a mask……if I ever rob something, Im wearin a Ray Mysterio mask, so if ya see me on tv, keep ya mouth shut

As far as the Fulmer pic goes, I have to say it looks like he is fixing to go all electric and update the “Dueling Banjos” scene with the retard in Deliverance, with himself playing the retard, all he would have to do is shave his head…..which I vote for “Dueling Banjos” to be the theme song or background music for the Fulmer Cup Recap for the week during EDBS Live, unless the show got cancelled, we’re like a month behind due to technoligical difficulties…..

re: LeCorn and head-buds…never, ever break two laws at once…excessive noise AND dope smokin’ are a sure loser. I wonder if Spurrier has time for this shit?

I actually think it is really funny that Gibson made him a guitar but cut all the corners and made it cheap as hell.
