FULMER CUPDATE: AM-UZI-NG EDITION

Gimme your money, motherfucker. There's an Uzi under this wing.

The Fulmer Cup tracks which college football program is truly most felonious and troubled. This is how we award the points.

Louisville makes a massive dive into the Fulmer Cup. Appropriately, it's for a crime that like Louisville began with aggressive offense and leaves them little defense. Even weirder: this was no raw freshman pulling the caper, but senior cornerback Rod Council, who after four years of relatively good behavior at Louisville got a wild feather up his ass and decided to rob a convenience store, conveniently ignoring Gale's advice to H.I. in Raising Arizona: "I know you're partial to convenient stores, but dammit, H.I., the sun doesn't rise and set on the corner grocery."

Police say he robbed a Jonathan Valley convenience store Wednesday morning and was captured in Tennessee.

According to the incident report, Council allegedly entered the store about 4:15 a.m. and pulled what looked to be a 9mm Uzi on the clerk, who was the only other person in the store at the time.

The suspect demanded all the money and the clerk's cellular phone and fled the store. The store's security cameras were able to catch the suspect leaving in a silver Chevrolet Impala.

At least he did it in style. Council's only charged with one count of robbery with a dangerous weapon, but a brazen daylight robbery of a convenience store while class is in session...this calls for the good bubbly. Five points to Louisville: three for your generic felony count, one bonus point for going nuts and robbing a convenience store, and another for using the Israeli masterpiece, the Uzi, to commit the crime.

In summary: what the fuck, Rod?

West Coast, what? Unimpressed by Tennessee punter Britton Colquitt's denting of a car while DUIving around Knoxville, Oregon State starting safety Al Afalava repped the West Coast right by piling his car into a bus shelter in Corvallis, Washington, creating a boom in the real estate market by destroying one of the ten buildings currently making up downtown Corvallis. (Corvallis, we keed! Sort of!)

His blood alcohol content was above the legal limit, and well above a 1.0, Henslee said.

OMG his blood was ONE HUNDRED PERCENT ALCOHOL?!?!?!?!?! Call Fark.com, this has...wait, sorry. Fractions, decimals, and percentages were never our strong suit. He was good and hammered, though: you have to be to drive through a bus shelter without having a seizure or a man pointing a gun at your head in the passenger seat.

The points get large fast with this one: three for the grand DUI, three for criminal mischief (a felony), and an estimated two for hit and run, since we're not sure whether that's a felony or a misdemeanor charge in Oregon. That is, in a single incident, eight points for Oregon State, a thunderous opening gambit in the intricate chess match that is the Fulmer Cup.

Unless the sun rises extra, extra early in Louisville I doubt it was daylight at 4:15 AM.

If that’s the case though, no wonder he’s pissed… UL is making their students go to class at 4 in the fucking morning.

Buses in Corvallis? That’s about like buses in Starksville.

And, Va Tech rejoices, as they originally signed Council out of high school, but the reneged on the scholarship after Council was busted for stealing computers from West Charlotte HS.

I am noticing a pattern. Sounds like Council might want to look into another type of employment when he gets out of prison.

It seems to me though, that it would be a lot easier to go to a 4 AM than an 8 AM class: Leave the bar around 2, stop at Taco Bell, stumble around for a half-hour, and arrive refreshed and ready to go.

Call me crazy, but I think robbing a convenience store with an Uzi deserves way more credit than drunken driving. We’ve been over this and over this, and there’s right and there’s right, and never the twain shall meet.

The Uzi bonus should be up there with the cop-hittin’ bonus, if you ask me.

Hey, Louisville was not the only school in KY making news of the Fulmer Cup variety this week…

In the middle of their transition to 1A football, two Western Kentucky redshirt freshmen were arrested for an altercation that ended up in the cancellation of a rap concert…

I don’t have any proof of this, but I would be willing to bet he robbed the store with a Cobray Mac 10, not an Uzi, due to the Uzi being hard to get in this country and costing 5x as much as the Mac 10. Mac 10’s new only run about $200 bucks. They look similar.

This is picture of a Mac 10.

For some reason Oregon State’s recent entry to the Fulmer Cup makes me think of a notorious Bollywood extract… but with a slight change to the lyrics.

Blood alcohol is high Al Afalava
Destroying downtown Al Afalava
The bus can’t stop now Al Afalava
Criminal mischief from Al Afalava
He was in a bad way
Rejected by a sheep that’s gay
In his rush to pee
Bus stop looked like the head…

Blood alcohol is high Al Afalava

etc., etc.

I just slept through a midterm today, so watching Al Afalava commit some criminal mischief definitely makes up for it.

by Innocent Bystander on Feb 21, 2008 7:30 PM EST reply actions  

well, if the news report says that he had “above a 1.0” BAC, then, yeah, his blood was more than 100% alcohol. they must have meant .10, as most states say that if you are above a .08 you are drunk.

by adam (the gay one) on Feb 21, 2008 7:41 PM EST reply actions  

Ummm, not to be picky, but exactly how can your blood be MORE than 100%? Either way, it’s definitely a misprint. Although true pros can work their way into the low .5s, most of us are at near death once we approach +/- .4…

Just sayin’…

by Liver O' The Gators on Feb 21, 2008 7:51 PM EST reply actions  

I thought that a 0.08 BAC meant 0.08% (which means 1.0 is not theoretically impossible, though almost certainly lethal).

Corvalis is in Oregon, yo!

by yo on Feb 22, 2008 1:43 AM EST reply actions  

@ Spartan Dan: a .08 means that you are at 8%. just like if your batting average is a .300, you are hitting the ball 30% of the time.

by adam (the gay one) on Feb 22, 2008 1:09 PM EST reply actions  

HE WAS TIRED ALCOHOL WAS AFTER THE FACT!

by beaver fan on Feb 23, 2008 9:31 PM EST reply actions  

I’m assuming there are no math majors in this conversation. 0.08% is exactly that. Eight hundreths of one percent alcohol. You’d be way dead well before you acheive 8%, let alone 40%. The good news is that your corpse would never decay…
