FULMER CUPDATE: COUGAR’D!
This week’s big board only appears unchanged: Washington State makes a spectacular score in some post-incident charge juggling, a correction noted in the regular notes, corrections, and etcetera below. The board is provided, as always, by Brian, who is hung like Reggie F’n Nelson.

Washington State’s Andy Roof may have put Wazzou on the board for good thanks to his ability not just to punch people at parties, but also to break their bones while doing it. The Cougars already sat at a good, solid five points thanks to some contact lens sabotage and beery legerdemain.
Andy Roof’s original head-butting offense was given one point for piddly charges, but that may have changed in a drastic manner:
But the police investigation is pointing to alleged crimes more serious than misdemeanor fourth-degree assault. An assault that results in broken bones usually merits a felony second-degree charge, Tennant said.
“Our investigation is criminal in the fact, ‘Did Andy Roof hit this person and how much damage did he cause this person?’ ” Tennant said.
Broken bones in a fight mean likely and various felony charges for Roof. Conservatively, let’s go ahead and estimate two felony charges of assault at the minimum put Roof’s incident at a six-pointer, meaning WSU climbs to a count of eleven–and that’s if we don’t “reward” Roof with a bonus point for not only punching someone completely unprovoked, but also for smashing someone’s face into a stop sign.
Other than that: relative quiet. Two former Mississippi State players will be charged in a shooting incident, meaning we may have to award some retroactive points for the crime. (Croom did boot them, but they were players at the time, and therefore the charges and awarded points stand. Exeunt the EDSBS legal staff…) This quote mystifies us:
“I did make a terrible decision,” said Wesley. “I didn’t use the brain God gave me. I used what the devil gave me.”
A golden fiddle? A stunning goatee? The gift of knowledge? Or like the only great scene in Bedazzled, a life as a Colombian drug dealer complete with assassins in pursuit and a hot mistress? For the record, we never saw what was bad about that whole setup.
(Thanks as always to the SAS Wiki Fulmer Cup board for keeping us straight on scoring. We need all the help we can get.)

Orson,
Eh, I can understand why you would not like him. I wouldn’t like a guy who recruited 20 of 22 players that won a National Championship, was fired, and then led a 2-10 team to the Rose Bowl, whilst watching my team get thumped by a mediocre Michigan program coached by an octanagerian.
And facing the abyss of being buried under Tennessee, Georgia and (errr, this would really piss me off) South Carolina.
On the upside, I would take comfort in the fact that my team still matches up well with Kentucky, and if we lost to Vandy, well, that would be an upset.
And other than LSU, Arkansas, Alabama and Auburn, I would take comfort from knowing we match up pretty well with the other division, so long as Trbow stays healthy.
Ahh…. perfect sense.
See you with the Gameday crowd in St. Louis on August 30, when (NAME REDACTED) puts a pummeling on #4 Mizzou on his way to a NC.

Ghost of Jay, I agree, though one could argue that unlike other schools, getting a DUI is simply part of the whole Ole Miss experience. I mean, when the COACHES get busted for DUI it puts the whole thing in perspective. Hell even Saint Eli got busted for public drunk his freshman year (*sigh* didn’t we all…ah, memories). I’m personally more impressed with the midwestern schools getting meth busts…and those are happening high up the administrative ladder…impressive!
BTW, thank you, THANK you for that musical masterpiece you posted, “Bitch You Ride the MARTA Bus.” I can now say I have listened to greatness.

Chris–
Them’s the points. Note the asterisk: even if Illinois’ lead had held, they would have been ineligible most likely due to one player doing it.
If you’re implying that we hate Illinois because we hate [NAME REDACTED], then you’re wrong. We just don’t like him. That’s very different.

Shame that Orson does not allow for coaches to score points. Otherwise, Ole Pi$$ would automatically been awarded 5 for impersonating a head coach and absusing the English language for the last three years.

Update … I see the mighty Bulldogs have had 2 others arrested for alcohol related events as well.
Time to throw a couple more points for the one Illinois player who shot a starter pistol.

Rebel84: Maybe you can lobby for Pegues to pick up a few more points for felony abuse of your punt defense.
You remind me of the little kid that would tattle on his classmates. “Teacher, teacher, Billy is passing notes!”

Hey Brian,
Why don’t you fix the f*ing point system?
Illinois has 1 player shoot a starter gun, and gets 11 points. Thats the entirety of their trangressions …. and they are fifth on the list.
Mississippi State has at least 2 players shooting a real gun, yet somehow are not even on the list (or are in the also ran “other category” for 10th.
Iowa has had 6 or 7 arrests …. ah, never mind.
Brilliant. Keep up the great work.

You’re still missing Mississippi State’s points for Jamon Hughes’s DUI (2 points you awarded them). And you’re also missing Derek Pegues’s ‘driving with an open container’ violation.
All you’re giving them is the 7 points for the gunfire incident. They have a legit shot at the title this year, so I would hate to see them miss out on a few points that may eventually take them over the top.

Ole Miss needs more points, dammit.

#7,
The term with relation to Wazzu is actually getting “coug’d,” but now that you point it out getting cougar’d doesn’rt sound so bad…

If guns were illegal on the MSU campus back in the early 70s, then about 80-90% of my fraternity would have gone to jail, myself included, mostly due to hunting rifles/shotguns in trunks.
Times change.

I am familiar with the Devil in Miss Jones defense with Wesley playing the part of Harry Reems.

“legerdemain” is one of my favorite words. I love those old-timey exaggerative terms. It just sounds so much better than saying “card trick”

And O, given current verbage, isn’t it good to get “Cougar’d”? I woulda killed for it 5 years ago…

Ok, for the I Don’t Know How Many-eth time, you haven’t counted this Ahmu point for Wazzu. That’ll give them 12, not 11.

I asked this question on an earlier thread, but getting to the game late, it may not be answered (not that it wil be here either), so I’ll ask again..
Orson, are you in St. Pete to finalize the contract negotiations for the bowl?

Well that settles it then. The Devil lives in Starkville.

Is Wesley using the Flip Wilson as Geraldine Jones defense? Is anyone on here old enough to know what that means?
