FULMER CUPDATE: CROOM FOR RENT
The big board continues to swell with fresh points. This week’s Fulmer Cupdate, as always, is brought to you by Brian, who continues to be hung like Reggie F’n Nelson.

Mississippi State bang-bangs their way onto the board with a murky “shooting incident” on campus in Starkville last Friday. Two players were involved for certain: Michael Brown and Quinton Wesley were both sent screaming off the team with all due speed following the shooting, and others may be involved since the Miss State roster was sporting a few conspicuous holes during their spring game Saturday. (Urban Meyer finds all of these punishments harsh.)
The incident began with the source of all trouble, naturally: a convenience store.
MSU Police Department Lt. Don Bartlett said an altercation at a convenience store near the campus — the B-Quik store on East Lee Boulevard — occurred a few hours before the incident at Zacharias Village and “may have been the motivation” for the gunshots at the residence hall complex, The Starkville Daily News reported.
H.I. and the entire Tennessee football team agrees: convenience stores are hellmouths of trouble for the young mind, with their slushees, cheap beer, lotto tickets and pork rinds. Virtue is staying away from them entirely, kids.
Cincinnati lights up a few points–two points, to be specific–for Terrill Byrd smoking weed in his residence. Well, at least he can buy booze on Sundays, unlike the good citizens of Georgia, who instead must drive to a bar, where they get hammered, buy some fried food, and then hit the roads after drinking. Sonny Perdue, don’t you have rain to pray for instead of persecuting the lazy alcoholics of this fine state? Lazy alcoholism at home is a family value in the South, dammit.
(We don’t actually know if one can buy booze on Sundays in Cincy. All we know is that Sonny Perdue can go fuck himself with a corkscrew for limiting our personal freedoms in the name of winning a few Jebus voters in Crisp County.)
Missouri still sits atop this thing like a prize drunken peacock, but several teams sit in striking distance. Just a few misdemeanors separate Tennessee from Mizzou, and if any team has the gumption, abundant convenience stores, and raucous, enabling campus environment to make this thing happen, it’s Tennessee, dammit.

I don’t live in Crisp County, but I do live directly west of it and it is a hell hole of terribleness. If Crisp County is the one keeping us from buying the sweet nectar on Sundays, I say we band together and demolish its good citizens.

Cool….Don Bartlett gets some dap on EDSBS. He really is a good guy. I’m gonna have to show him this shit and shake his hand for getting love on here without really even trying….although one could argue that all his moments in life have led to this crowning achievement

Is it just me, or is there a preponderance of programs that have recently gone from “sucks” to “does not suck” on the big board (along with Tennesse, of course). Makes sense, really.

At this pace, the SEC will eclipse the Big 10 for the all-time Fulmer Cup points, and that’s a hell of an accomplishment despite sending Fulmer cup points magnet aka [name redacted] to the Big 10. I wish he’d take his 35 points and go to the Pac10 or the WAC.

For the record, there are “dry” townships here in MA. So, it isn’t just a boonies phenomenon .

Would like to point out the gun-toting Mr. Brown was a Florida transfer……

Let me see if I understand this; the Florida Legislature recently made it easier to use deadly force if you feel your life is in danger and these Temple recruits were looking to scare white people (or anyone) with a BB pistol at 4 AM?
Does this defy rational thought or is this a simple case of too many blows to the head?
