I'm not a big proponent of tampering with tradition. However, there are rare instances where monumental feats change the face of sports and overshadow previous traditions and legacies. Such is the case, IMO, of the Fulmer Cup (originally named because of Tennessee's consistent off-field legal issues for their football players). After the remarkable, and unprecedented crimes by Auburn's 2011 football team, I think it is only fitting that the Fulmer Cup be henceforth referred to as Toomer's Cup. Traditions be damned--Auburn earned this.
