EDSBS LIVE! CHAMPIONS LEAGUE EDITION
This EDSBS Live Announcement includes a few random notes of great import we can't really squeeze in anywhere else. Also, we're making a theme cassoulet in honor of the Ducks playing the Beavers, and have to pick up some confit duck legs in a few minutes. In case you're wondering what the Beavers half of the meal is, well...we haven't figured out a clever way to work that in yet without being crude to the point of uncleverness.
So, yes: EDSBS Live, tonight at 9. We'll discuss the championship round of games, Bob Stoops repeatedly slamming Adam Schefter's head in with a hammer, and anything else popping into our heads. Links to chat and listen to appear around 7 or so in this space.
"Mine's from Leviticus!" Stabbing in all directions, courtesy of the Tim Tebow School of Life.
It's not a bad attempt at all, and kudos for the peppy game show music, but if no one else wants to properly hate on Tebow, we'll just give you one tip: ask the guy if Jesus rode dinosaurs. DO WE HAVE TO SHOW YOU HOW TO DO THIS PROPERLY?
Dunlap, out. At least according to his father, who says he'll likely miss the SEC Championship Game.
LSU mumble mumble Violations mumble mumble. Investigation, self-reporting, etc. THEY GONE GET THE DEATH PENALTY--nothing happens < ----cycle of SEC message board rumors re: NCAA.
PLZ ADVISE! : All charges against Trent Pupello have been dismissed, per Greg Auman of the St. Pete Times, meaning the Fulmer Cup's 2009 champions may have just lost their crown. Do we go to the trouble of actually vacating the title, or is that far too accurate and diligent for this blog's standards? Choice graf:
"after a thorough review of statements from numerous witnesses ... (we are) unable to refute the defendent's claim of justified use of force."
TRENT PUPELLO NEVER PISTOLWHIPPED A MAN WHO DIDN'T NEED TO BE PISTOLWHIPPED.
Caring deficient: Testudo Times says the problem with Friedgen coming back isn't even performance, but rather the lack of caring among the fanbase. A malaise, if you will. Which sounds like mayonnaise. A whole jar of it. Mmmm. Mayonnaise. < -----/ralphfriedgen'd

“we haven’t figured out a cleaver way to work that in yet without being crude to the point of uncleverness.”
Ha., ha….very clever!

I believe the charges should stick. The charges being dropped for “justified use of force” doesn’t mean he didn’t commit a crime, it just means he’s been able to convince the state attorney that his crimes were committed in one of the few situations where it may have been okay. But he still did them. I believe that’s the important part here. They weren’t dropped on account of him not pistol-whipping numerous people…

“PLZ ADVISE!”
That caused an involuntary aneurysm, what with the abbreviation of a six-letter word, all-capitals, and FOX NEWS URGENT URGENT URGENT tone. I think I spend too much time on work email. Well done, Swindle.

If the NCAA can vacate wins, the Fulmer Cup can vacate points, and titles. Title, redacted.

There is only one pistol whipping spree on the Fulmer Cup record thus far. If you remove it you will regret it forever and ever.
But you already know that.

The dropping of charges should be like a bad call. If it’s caught in the conference the refs do before they announce the penalty (Pretty much any time until the Fulmer cup is awarded), drop the points. Otherwise… tough luck, guys, we promise to unnecessarily penalize the other team to make it up to you! Or, just do it to you repeatedly, if you’re 2003 Florida against FSU…

Lev 18:7 "You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father, which is the nakedness of your mother; she is your mother, you shall not uncover her nakedness. "
I bet it will be so gratifying that that is in the top 100,000,000 on google searches today.

Deuteronomy 25:11 – Can’t remember it excactly, but it essentially gives a thumbs up to the ladies for pulling their men out of a fight by the johnson. So maybe all those old laws weren’t a function of the harsh environment; maybe some of them were just crazy.

Freshness test.
Ooops, the Fulmer Cup’s been awarded for at least a week.
Move on.

Thank you Ohiodawg, for the theology lesson….that verse is as funny as anything I have seen today……Love the King James version:
“to deliver her husband out of the hand of him that smiteth him, and putteth forth her hand, and taketh him by the secrets”
Secrets……. I’m gonna start calling them my “secrets”……..

Swindle —
This is why I have always advocated awarding Fulmer Cup points based on the initial arrest report and charges without further adjustment. We’re running a fucking kangaroo court here, and it need not concern itself with niceties like procedure and constitutionality. Besides, in the long run, revising points downward takes them away from programs that have the coziest relationships with their local constabulary and judiciary — and those are just the sorts of programs the Fulmer Cup was designed to recognize.
Best, etc.

Have Mike Slive send a letter of apology on behalf of the Fulmer Cup committee for the error. Holly is good at writing the regretting error pieces. She can dictate the text.
It sounds like he did it, the prosecution just couldn’t get a conviction. The incompetence of the police is not the fault of the Fulmer Cup.
(In a thick Italian accent) The points, they remain-a the same!

I want that Fulmer cup right in between my 2008 St. Pete Bowl Championship trophy and the 2009 one. ITS A MATTER OF PRINCIPAL GOD DAMN IT!

Dirk Koetter got fired from ASU for the same thing, plus consistently going 7-5. Three years later the Poinsettia Bowl doesn’t sound so bad.

Wrong! That’s the hottest girl in Starkville.

Re: Fulmer Cup
As a degenerate gambler, I advocate the Vegas and horsetrack rule, that the payouts (and Fulmer cup winner) becomes final when the contest is declared official.
Good luck getting a refund if the game is subsequently declared a forfeit due to use of ineligible players.

@20 Wrong again, sir. She’s not the hottest in starkville… Purtiest l’il thang out the ville, got’s to have ’em utters or squeal like a piggy.

How in the hell can anyone, let alone a state’s attorney, come up with a case in which it is acceptable to pistol-whip someone? It’s so preposterous that you would think it’s 100% illegal, no questions asked.
Besides, we’ve lost so much already this month, between the Rutgers shutout and Craig James laughing at us on live television and whatever the hell that 12-year-old kid was doing, and then Miami teabagging us for three and a half hours.

As a Bama fan, I’m obsessed with other teams’ NCAA issues. What’s the rumor mill saying about LSU?
I know nothing will happen to them, but I’m curious anyway.

@7 Not You has it just right. Too late for a reversal.
This latest turn of events is to USF’s Fulmer Cup as the pass interference call was to OSU’s 2002-2003 National Championship.
