FULMER CUP: JOSH JARBOE
You may remember Troy wide receiver Josh Jarboe from his prior life as an unaccompanied freestyle rapper at Oklahoma, where lines like “If she like barbecue I put my meat up on her grill” got him kicked off the team after this video made it onto the internets:
Jarboe will add to his fabulous minor-league thug resume by opening up Fulmer Cup scoring for 2009 with a charge almost as colorful as his red/pink dreads from the OU video: misdemeanor harrassment, a single point for Troy in the Fulmer Cup and establishing them as the first team to put points on the board this season.
While the article gives no details, message boards are full of potentially truth-y tidbits, including this:
Just asked a friend of mine if he’d been to saga and then asked him if a fight had broken out. He said, “no, a football player up and choked some chic” “that dude from oklahoma or something?”
One of our favorite grammatical constructions is “Up and [verb]+ed.” It implies a sudden burst of wild or unpredictable behavior, like “After two quarters of mediocre football, Tim Tebow up and got the asskick stick out on Oklahoma.” Josh Jarboe just up and opened the Fulmer Cup season.” One point to Troy, officially popping the cherry of this season.

I vote the name of the Cup be change to the Richt cup or something more current. That would be appropriate as it would preserve a certain fan base’s proclivity towards preseason glory.

I believe as someone said yesterday, the first team to score should get some kind of bonus… other than the recognition of being alone on the big board so far

I guess we can’t award bonus points for the dreads, since they are from the last incident.

This reminds me, I cannot wait for Jamar Hornsby to get to campus in Oxford, simply for the Fulmer Cup implications.

Can someone put together a Fulmer Cup Where are they Now piece? I’m curious where some of the past thugs are and what they are doing with their lives. I’m sure that Jimmy Johns is in prison, so that takes care of him. Any updates on other previous big point gainers?

Yes, Mr. Jarobe will be required to asphyxiate a female.

Ryan Perriloux and Josh Jarboe need to play together at some point before prison.

I think Florida should start with 5 points for Tebow’s unsportsmanlike. It was during the game and it’s not a crime, but at that point the season was functionally over and let’s be honest, Tebow getting a personal foul is on par with the average football player committing murder.

Unfortunately, Donovan McNabb set the QB Gold Standard For Unsportsmanlike Conduct last Sunday when he picked up The Jints sideline phone and laughed into it late in the game.
The only thing that can top that would be for Tebow to wrassle with The Orgeron next year at midfield with Ric Flair as ref.

You should retroactively add Oklahoma for still signing him out of high school.

How high did Florida make it on this list last year? What with all the criminal thugs & all. (ak47, chokin’ chicks, etc.)

While I can attest that scoring first does not guarantee victory, I like the fact that a Fulmer Cup veteran was up to the task. The Heisman of Hijinks is now underway!

Bunkie –
Agreed on Hornsby. The Rebs should get a head start for signing him. But, can you really blame him? I mean gas was $4.00 a gallon and she wasn’t going to use it…

If LSU’s Jarret Lee starts a fight with another person, and that person gets arrested and Jarrett doesnt, does that count as a PICK 6?
