Fulmer Cup renamed

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.

Explain to EDSBS readers why the Fulmer Cup was named after Tennessee again?

Blasphemy
The University of Tennessee Volunteers have a longstanding history of criminal activity and it would be incomprehensible to think of a renaming of the competition at this point in time. Our boys don’t stick to robbing trailers, we spread out – taking on department stores, bars, gas stations – all while leaving a low carbon footprint.
Once Auburn diversifies their stock, come back and we’ll talk.
If anything, maybe the Ellis T. Jones III award could be rededicated.

Also
Please explain how this constitutes “consistent” issues and not a one time incident. This is the first time in several years Auburn has had ANY points.
I owe an apology to bammers, as I figured Spain to be one of theirs. Instead, I find he’s from Atlanta Metro College.

RE: Also
FYI, I went to Georgia Tech. I also prefer Auburn over Alabama.
Auburn does have a relatively clean recent past compared to Alabama, Tenn, UGA, FSU, etc., however, this one crime’s severity more than dwarfs the competition. While Tennessee barraged the police blotters with missiles of defiance here and there, Auburn just dropped the Fat Man and Little Boy of off-field offenses wreaking far more damage in one fell swoop than the years of petty crimes committed by past winners. Their current YTD score would beat the last 3 winners combined score.
I'll conceed that I'm a pretty big Auburn homer
However, I’m also one for tradition. We don’t rename the Ellis T. Jones III trophy after Jimmy Johns, nor should we. We can come up with another award all together in honor of this event. Maybe the “All In” Teamwork award. But do not besmirch the entirety of the Fulmer Cup by thinking for a moment that one incident reaches the level of accomplishment that the Fulmer Vols achieved.

Fulmer Cup name
The award was named in honor of Philip Fulmer, coach of the Tennessee Volunteers, primarily due to a rash of arrests they had between 2004 and 2006. Of course it was coined by a Florida fan, but the name stuck.

Just walking into a place where nobody knows you and saying “HEY, LET’S CHANGE SHIT AROUND BECAUSE I THINK IT’S A GOOD IDEA” is rarely a successful strategy in life.* I’ve been lurking here for a long time now, and have only recently decided to start commenting, but I know the territory well enough that I would bite my tongue off before I suggested changing something that is obviously so integral a part of the tattered, alcohol-soaked cloth that is EDSBS as the Fulmer Cup.

According to Wikipedia, “In comedy, a dick joke (other terms for the same meaning: penis joke, in British English nob gag) is a joke that makes either an indirect or a direct reference to a human penis, also less commonly used as an umbrella term for dirty jokes.”
