A police affidavit states Starks pointed "a handgun (semiauto) at the victim, struck him once in the head with the handgun and ordered him back into (the) apartment ... The defendant ... then bound the victim with black duct tape around his legs, mouth and eyes and threw him face down on the living room floor."
Damn, son: That's a conservative 12 pointer on the board before bonus charges, which would apply since YOU ROBBED ONE OF YOUR OWN COACHES. Further Fulmer Cupdates to come later today (as we're totally behind in that department thanks to paternity leave,) but the kangaroo court in charge of this shebang may rule young Miguel Starks eligible for the Ellis T. Jones award for individual achievement, since this...well, this is work that may transcend any rules we have about D-1 versus non-D-! schools in the Cup.

Citadel may not be able to run with the big boys in the season
but, damn, talk about upsetting them in the Fulmer Cup.

Ellis T. Jones Award for Individual Achievement = Fulmer Cup's Heisman
Because this is the Heisman equivalent, I definitely think he needs to be eligible for it. After all, Steve McNair was a Heisman candidate from a 1-AA school. This guy definitely deserves to be allowed to compete!

Miguel's brother Toney wrote a song about this...
It’s called Shakey Dog.

Aw shucks,
it’s just Citadel cadets getting in tune with their inner warrior.

No rules changes need apply
Citadel is D-1 (FCS).

///not irritated by the fact that the Citadel just retooled their entire offense around this guy
I thought this was the Citadel’s way of applying for membership into the Sun Belt.

Hey Klak, I’m right there with you on the Div 1 thing (see my screenname), but it’s kinda like how GSU isn’t exactly eligible for the BCS Championship game. They’re still on two different levels, and the Fulmer Cup is specified as applying to FBS schools (if I’m not mistaken).
And yeah, I’m loving that this is the kid that El Cit was remodeling their offense around and then he goes and screws up this royally.
GATA EAGLES!

no way el cid revamped their offense for him… he was actually removed from his team before this incident and not allowed to play in spring practice.

Is this true???
Because if I know my Fulmer Cup rules correctly, you must be on the current roster during the offseason when the crime was perpetrated for the points to count, right?
It would be a shame for a performance like this to go to waste.

Read the Post and Courier article, brah
Up until last night Starks was the leading candidate for the QB and they were switching to a spread and shred offense based on his runing ability. Click through the link that says “Damn, son”

According to the P&C, he *was* still on the roster and expected to compete in the fall.

FCS is newspeak
The Citadel is 1-AA. So is Georgia Southern. They are not on the same level with D-I football programs.
You can respond with App State!, and I will respond with big ten jokes, and they are both played out. Well, one can never get enough big ten jokes, but they are at least predictable.

And the concept goes directly over your head.
Granted, if the rules relegate it to only 1-A schools then that’s one thing, however by definition El Cit is a Div 1 school, doesn’t matter about subdivision….they are a NCAA Division 1 program. The question that now arises, are the excluded from points in the Fulmer Cup because it’s only restricted to 1-A as opposed to all of 1-AA?
Also, as Klak said, just because a school isn’t in the BCS doesn’t automatically make it D2/D3/etc.
shouldn’t the ellis t jones award be renamed any time a recipient surpasses the previous record?

What's the big deal?
Coaches abuse and rob players all the time. Shouldn’t it work both ways?

I am tired of hearing a royal fuck up of Herman Johnson proportions called a teachable moment
unless, I guess, the object of the lesson is to teach the other players to reconsider killing/kidnapping/ball-gagging the coaching staff. Or unless my team is involed. And what in the world is an offensive quality control coach and where can we get one?
Huh. They must have pussed out on the murder at the end.
Unless they planned to kill the dude, I can’t see how their masterful criminal scheme makes ANY sense at all. I defy you to plan something with less payoff and more jail time in it.
The other theory that makes a tiny bit of sense is that they thought the assistant coach was into something illegal (cough, steroids, cough), and they figured they could jack him without him reporting it. Smart armed robbers know that drug dealers ARE where the untraceable cash money is.
Theory three, this was something personal, probably over a girl.
News out of Charleston
Apparently it seems like the coach that got attacked was a known dealer…however still conjecture at this point. Guess the kids thought they could knock him off without any hassle.
