FULMER CUPDATE: EAST CAROLINA TAKES THE LEAD

This picture has nothing to do with this post, but if your Monday didn't end like this, you DID IT WRONG.
Oregon made the big points, but East Carolina continues to keep pace in the Fulmer Cup with a good streak of general loutishness. In fact, if both Giavanni Ruffin and Brandon Jackson were charged with public intoxication, resisting a public officer and obstructing, then a point each equals six points for ECU, who at a current score of seven would take the Fulmer Cup lead with 13 points.
We'll finalize a weekly update and the big board tomorrow, but if so it illustrates a few things of football interest. It shows that a team, even when hit with the big play, can still come back and grind themselves into back into the game against an opponent with a lead. It shows that Greenville might be more lively a town than you might think. Finally, it shows an instance of the rare "Reverse Holtz" effect: when Lou came to a place, people started getting arrested, while Skip's departure rips the lid off a simmering cauldron of minor drunkenness.
Minnesota also picked up a DWI charge for starting safety Kyle Theret, which is a fourth-degree charge of DWI, and may not even be a felony. Full scoring tomorrow. Now if you'll excuse us.

ECU is winning the Fulmer Cup with Tresellball against Oregon’s spectacular big plays. (In this scenario, public intox is "punting).
"I just wanna find some rockets!"
Tresselball is boring, clock-killing, and remarkably effective...
in both football and in the Fulmer Cup.
And yet, when it comes up against the SEC, it can still be blown away by a couple big plays(see LSU ‘07 and Alabama’s Jimmy Johns)
"I think so, Brain, but how are we going to get the bacon flavoring into the pencils?"
Hard to argue with the most recent evidence...
Though I don’t think it’s a bigger trend, and all the “OMG, OSU is teh suxorz” is way overblown by many.

Punting is winning!
It never gets to be easy

Which is why Tresell continues to encourage Pryor
to arm punt at every opportunity. Why punt only once per possesion when you can potentially do it 4 times.
Fuck tOSU
Is this man any relation to Captain Awesome?

I thought a "Reverse Holtz"...
…was when a school was on probation BEFORE his arrival, or…
…a manner of speaking in which the spittle travels inward, or….
Ok, I got nothing.
Their Pirates!!!!!
They get drunk and fight. Thats like asking soliders to carry guns and not blow shit up.
Hey did you ever give Oregon credit for this incident? Because I don’t see it mentioned here

If I read the rules correctly, Oregon should be getting bonus points for each offense. That would put them in a commanding lead.
ECU is close to getting bonus points too.
Someone with access to STATA or SAS or SPSS
…should correlate Fulmer Cup points with the previous season’s end-of-season rank, to see if there’s a relationship between being awesome at football and later getting arrested.
Same thing for the following season, to see if there’s a relationship between getting arrested and later being awesome at football.
Wish I still had access to SPSS
Would this relationship be hypothesized as Da U Thesis?

STATA flashback
To Econ Stat the very nasty evil that I dropped 3 times at UNC because I refused to buy the program and there was no way I could sit in the computer lab typing “plot” “sort” and understand what was going on. Thankfully Psych Stat could fill in for my major and there all I did was battle a prof who “no speakah engrish”
As for Greenville, NC. I hear they call it G-Vegas, its as popular for its STDs and the Jungle as it is for that admittedly badass field logo. Fun place if you’re into drinking to excess, hating every other school but not realizing they don’t hate you back and breaking stuff.
Yeah BoYeeEEeeE
