FULMER CUPDATE: WSU PLAYERS PROVE PULLMAN, WA IS LIVELY, INTERESTING

Just another night out in Pullman, WA.
The high-performance bond to purchase for all time in the Fulmer Cup has been Washington State, the small dynamo consistently cranking out Fulmer Cup points like the pinata unceasingly belching out caramels. The Cougars--arguably the worst football team in the nation two years running at the D-1 level--still manage to produce points in this game, and kick off the 2010 season with a pair of point-worthy stupidities.
- Brandon Jones, the starter at corner for 11 games in 2009, was booted from the team following a DUI early Saturday morning. A standard DUI gets you two points, though if we found out he was outrageously drunk or did something like steal a robotic pig while drunk, we'll provide bonus points as needed. Jones was a redshirt junior and did expect to see playing time, but given Washington State's defense last year his anticipated replacement Rolling Adjustable Office Chair would provide comparable pass coverage.
- He was undoubtedly born fighting with a name like that, but Jordan Pu'u-Robinson continued what was likely a lifelong hobby by being arrested for fourth-degree assault in Pullman for something described as a fight. Simple assault of the misdemeanor variety gets you one point in the Fulmer Cup. Ha. Pu'u.
Thus the Cougars receive a total of three points in what are still the opening innings of the Fulmer Cup. Let Mike Price's Ghost be praised, especially when he's tucking in phantom dollars of the g-strings of local amateur theatrical dancers.

Wazzu should get a spot
Washington State should start with -10 in the Fullmer Cup just for being in Pullman. However, that would lead to other schools starting in similar positions. I’m thinking about Starkville MS and Manhattan KA.

Kansas' postal abbreviation is KS, not KA
But yes, Manhattan is a craphole filled with crap.

Never been to Manhattan, Kansas…but Starkvegas is way, way, way farther down the food chain than Pullman.
Yes, Pullman’s even farther away from anywhere than you’d suspect. But the surrounding Palouse country is vastly more pleasant and civilized than most anywhere in Mississippi outside Oxford proper; and traveling to it comes without such an overwhelming feeling of stepping into another world, far back in time.

Nevertheless...
The headline calling Pullman “LIVELY, INTERESTING” was still worth a good snort.

Whatever dude
Starkville has an Arby’s!
Gregatron is not responsible for any of the crap he just wrote.

Pullman has and Arby's
Do your research!
I feel like Charlie Brown trying to kick the football. Ugh
Which is more prestigious?
A Fulmer Cup title or an Apple Cup win?
Seriously, how can the worst team in the BCS engage in such heightened weekend dipshittery? You think they’d be studying or something.
Little-known Linguistics
The first half of Jordan Pu’u-Robinson’s name is an Hawaiian word meaning “hill”. Pu’u are typically volcanic spatter cones and thus revered as belonging to the goddess Pele. I doubt seriously that Pu’u-Robinson had many problems back home in the islands.
Be careful how you answer if he asks you, “Like beef?” That may be how this fight started.

Washington in 2008 = 0-12 (0-9)
Only the worst team in the country last year, good Sir.
Even last year, E. Michigan and W. Kentucky went winless. I think the Cougs won one didn’t they?

Definitely.
No disrespect to the history of the program. The Bledsoe-Gessner years were tight. They were one of my go-to teams on the original EA Playstation foozball.
Mike Price shoulda stayed in Pullman, instead of pulling out his soup can for the dirty.
pfft...It's only like 80 miles to Stateline!

They still manage...
to get their flags waving at College Gameday every week. That counts for something. I find myself looking for it in the background, like Where’s Waldo.

Hey, I play that game too.
Take a shot when you see tha Wazzu flag!

I’m too lazy to look up the article, but apparently it’s a consortium of WSU fans or people simply willing to wave the flag at game day.
They coordinate throughout the week to hand off the flag to the next waver. Ever notice that there is only ONE wazzu flag waving on Saturday mornings? That’s pretty organized.
There's two
A white and crimson one. But yes, it’s basically mailed around the country each week to the flag wavers. Pretty impressive.

We even got our own Gameday commercial. Take that … everyone else!

Cyrillic is the last thing you see
I would like to point out that, as a general rule, attacking a bunch of dudes in gas masks and carrying giant sheilds emblazoned with Cyrillic (you know it says “break yo sef foo”) with a shepherd’s crook is currently the second best way to get your shit wrecked. First is touching a Mangino twinkie. Third is a midget joke in T-town.
That's Greek
The Cyrillic alphabet doesn’t anything visually approximating sigma “Σ.” The closest is probably ze “З.”
That being said, I wouldn’t mess with Greek riot police either.

My question...
…is do the shields work better held upside down? 3 out of 4 Greek policeman seem to think so.

I think it’s more that they have to show up at, and pretend to contain, so many riots that they’ve long since stopped caring whether they’re holding their equipment right-side-up.
Also, it’s Greece. If you’ve ever been there when the Olympics weren’t on…well, ’nuff said.

I went last year.
Loved it. Can’t wait to go back.

That local amateur has a name. It’s Destiny. Destiny Stahl.
And she was just a country girl, working three jobs putting herself through medical school. Single mom. Hard times.
Eventually, she landed a real estate job in Destin.
Currently, Mike Price is the Coach at UTEP.
And now you know, the rest of the something or the other.

Dipshittery is a 400 level sociology class at Wazzu; prereqs are Bumbling 202, and Dimwitted Malfeasance 310.
The Ghost of Dennis Erickson Compels You!
Wazzu’s, Oregon State’s and Miami’s places in the Fulmer Hall of Fame are secured. Wyoming’s candidacy is up to the Veteran’s Committee, while Idaho and Arizona State must wait the mandatory five years before consideration.
Oxfart & Pullman v. Starksville
Oxford the only “civilized” place in MS? That begs ignorance and arrogance.
Pullman better than Starksville? As I remember, when I had my daughters in trendy Seattle back in 2001, they could not eat with me in any decent restaurant, as one was not 21 and alcohol was served there. That’s pretty f’in backward. If that’s the case there, I can only imagine what a crappy backwater in the middle of nowhere in WA is like.
These "restaraunts" you were attempting to eat are called "bars."

"any decent restaurant"?
Makes me wonder what qualifies as a decent restaurant wherever you come from if the only places you wanted to eat were bars.

Fourth Degree Assault?
it’s like you’re not even trying.
