FULMER CUPDATE: ILLINOIS IS NOT BIG ON RESEARCH

We don't understand homophobia as a matter of simple arithmetic. If you haven't watched enough television to understand gay men, we will bring you up to speed. They tend to be fit, well-groomed, and stylish. They hang out with single girls who just want the love of Mr. Perfect, and commiserate with them in humorous dialogues conducted at camera-friendly bars. They always have the boyfriend drama! Everything we know about gay men we learned from viewings of Will and Grace, and this is also why we have an unnatural attraction to Megan Mullally. (Her character is a wealthy libertine drunk. DO THE MATH.)
So if gay dudes want to be gay, and excepting the obvious arguments about other people's business not affecting yours in the pants department, it makes sense to want more gay guys around if you're single since more gay dudes = less competition on your straight guy part. You also get restaurants, and nice lawns, and maybe a Trader Joe's close to your house.
All wins in all directions, but some young men seem to disagree. One of them is Illinois DT Chris Jones.
Jones was arrested just after midnight Sunday after two men reported that he punched them outside a local bar, Champaign police Deputy Chief Troy Daniels said. The men said Jones, a 6-foot-5, 310-pound defensive lineman, had been in a car that had just driven by them.
"The occupants of the vehicle were calling out slurs based on their sexual orientation," Daniels said, explaining that the men said they were a couple.
The men — a 19-year-old who stands 5-9 and weighs about 140 pounds and a 28-year-old who is 5-9 and weighs roughly 165 pounds — had minor facial injuries, Daniels said.
Ah, let's see if you get a bakery for dog treats in your neighborhood anytime soon, dude. This obviously inhumane act against two men who literally do not add up to one of you is worth quite a few Fulmer Cup points, and we'll get to that later, but let us also note that Jones won't get a hate crime prosecution because the sentence for aggravated battery is longer, and prosecutors sort of like to put people away for as long as possible. (See case of Prosecutors gotta prosecute.)
But wait there's cocaine involved hey cocaine wassup been a while-
Court records from Duval County, Fla., which includes Jones' hometown, show he pleaded guilty in July 2010 to cocaine possession and was sentenced to 60 days of unsupervised probation.
Brown initially said Zook and the Illini coaching staff knew about the conviction when Jones signed his letter of intent in February to attend Illinois. He said later he had learned the coaching staff wasn't aware of Jones' cocaine conviction.
That is correct: the Illinois coaching staff did not know about their player's previous arrest for cocaine possession. Other words would follow here, but just let that one sizzle on the brainpan for a while while you look at this picture of the Illinois head coach in a moment produced with only the natural stimulants flowing through his bloodstream at all times.

The Winn Dixie near my parents' has an olive bar.
And the Publix doesn’t. It’s… confusing.

My neighborhood Publix and Piggly-Wiggly have dueling olive bars
The Pig wins because their olives are from DeLallo’s out of Jeannette PA.

Where did you get your muffaletta?
Some places in NOLA are better than others. But if you don’t like olives, you picked the wrong sandwich. “A” for trying it, though!
Some people have a pet peeve. I have a peeve menagerie.
The place on the internet that said it was the true original.
Central Gourmet Co. You walked around a line, got a sandwich, I think maybe 1 or 2 tables, then they shoved you outside to sell more sandwiches.
It was about 2-3 blocks away from Jackson Square/Cafe du Monde.
I make it my goal to eat/drink/(if possible) smoke whatever the town/area is known for when I travel. I hate it when co-workers want Applebees. Yeah, you’ll have some crappy meals beacuse you don’t like things, but sometimes you’ll realize that the stuff is actually pretty good when you aren’t settling for the knock-off.

Central Grocery?
If that’s where you went and didn’t like then you gave it the best chance there was.
Sure. Sounds close enough.
I’m going by memory here. I also walked up and down Bourbon every night with a local cigar and some whiskey. I’m just hoping that I didn’t describe multiple places.

Central Grocery.
The original, and tied for my favorite with Progress Grocery. Can’t go wrong with either, unless you don’t like olives. Ordering a muffaletta without the olive salad is just a salami and provolone on a pretentious hunk of bread. At least you gave it a go. Besides, it’s hard to go hungry in NOLA.

Yep.
Olive salad is only a component. Once you add in layers of meats and cheeses, plus generous amounts of olive oil, there are plenty of other flavors to grab your attention away from the olive salad.
Oh, and rockyh is correct with the plural. We also call them “muffs” here, but I was afraid of what you monsters would do with that.

The newly renovated Winn-Dixie "concept store" near my house
(that replaced what was called the “Crack-Dixie” for obvious reasons) has an olive bar as well, and a great salad bar.
Much easier to ignore the questionable quality of things that are covered in cheese.
Curvy aisles? Excuse me, but

Fwiw, per capita homosexuals is a GREAT indicator of future gentrification
If you want to make $$ investing in real estate, find out where gay people and artists have recently moved. They start the art galleries/cool bars/coffee shops/restaurants/boutiques, which brings the boring white suburban yuppies in who are desperate to appear hip (see: me). It’s not long before the whole area gets fully gentrified and the artists and homosexuals move on to a poorer area with low rent and the process begins anew.

Well, kinda!
His argument is that a boring city (say, Cleveland), is going to have to overpay for talent if they have to compete against more interesting, “Creative” cities, like Austin, or Seattle. The indie musicians don’t create a ton of economic activity on their own, but their engineer buddies sure do.
The tax savings that a firm that moves to Cleveland might get are eaten away if they have to pay 10,000 more than Boston to get anybody smart.
Plus, Gay Couples are a major force in redeveloping kinda sketchy neighborhoods, since they bring in two incomes, and don’t really care about public school quality (which keeps families from moving into developing areas).
The young professional crowd is much more attractive to a city with a struggling economy than any artist could ever be
Any time you can attract a group of people with lots of disposable income and no real debt obligations outside of student loans (i.e. everyone between the ages of 23-30 in the corporate world) you not only get the tax income that those jobs bring in, you get lots of “fun money” spent at your local businesses, which in turn leads to more tax dollars. Most artists and musicians work in cash, which is typically outside the tax loop.
I aim to misbehave
He doesn't argue that the artists themselves are the engine of the economy
but that their presence helps attract the young professionals, by making a city more interesting and attractive for young people with disposable income. Artists (or the more general, “creative people”) help start those “fun” bars, galleries, trendy stores, etc.

Where? In your garage.
Just go for a drive…it’s not like the gays are too subtle to notice when they congregate in groups or communities. I happen to live on the edge of one (my immediate surrounds have turned yuppie already) but a few blocks over it is obvious who most of the lease/mortgage holders are and to whom the bars cater.
Don't know about that.
My neighborhood is very gay friendly, but not noticeably so. There are some small symbols on business storefronts but otherwise it looks like any other community. There are two nice couples (one gay, one lesbian) on my street with kids.
Also, my State Senator is openly gay (unlike Angela’s boyfriend on The Office).

Fan shots don’t get used much around here, while FanPosts are used much more often. With that in mind, I suggest we start using FanPosts for our nightly rambling, mostly unrelated to football open threads. That way, fantastic efforts at FanPosting get the maximum amount of time before being bumped off the sidebar.

I will admit that saddle shoes are an excellent sartorial choice
But they cause me to have conflicted feelings, due to having to wear them from 2nd – 12th grade.
Much easier to ignore the questionable quality of things that are covered in cheese.

"hot chicks"?
A guy I knew self-reported them with a two word phrase ending in “hags”. Of course, he was a wedding planner so who knows.
I always thought that phrase
had more to do with fitting the rhyme scheme than any sort of comment on attractiveness. I’ve known women who jokingly referred to themselves that way, and a sizable portion were very non-hag-y in appearance.

"Build up your weaknesses until they become your strong points." ~Knute Rockne
The reasoning behind it makes sense
There are more and more kids with nut allergies (we’re talking throat closing shut and dying kind of allergies) and kids are dumb. So rather than risk one kid trading his PBJ and for a pudding cup and having the other kid die, you just ban the PBJ.

Whatever. I grew up with Adams.
Now I can’t eat whatever crappy bullshit the store tries to force on me.
One would certainly hope that the no-peanut rule is something that goes away come middle or high school, as kids learn that they can’t necessarily randomly trade food.
Exactly! I can't eat the other now, because it's too oily.
But I have to cook with it because recipes take that oil into consideration and it doesn’t turn out right with Adams. But it does taste different and so we get both. For me, really, I go by what I like to eat. I don’t get something JUST BECAUSE IT’S HEALTHY (or says so on the packaging) because often it tastes awful.

Very real thing
at many schools these days. Apparently peanut allergies are prevalent enough to warrant nut bans. Either that or school admins are ascared of lawsuits. Whatever…there’s a kid in my son’s class that has been labeled “Peanut Boy” since age 3. He’s apparently allergic, and therefore none of the kids in his class can bring PB sammiches or snacks to class.
Some people have a pet peeve. I have a peeve menagerie.
Didn't mean to imply anything bad with my last comment.
Of course I wouldn’t want to cause someone else’s kid to have an allergic reaction; it’s just hard to tell your son why he can’t have his favorite snacks at school.
"Build up your weaknesses until they become your strong points." ~Knute Rockne
I'm not terribly upset about the no PB rule,
but this kid’s allergy isn’t so bad that my kid sitting at another table can’t enjoy a healthful snack of veggie sticks and peanut butter. I’m more upset that grown ass people nicknamed a 3 year old “Peanut Boy” because his parents (and the school) overreact.
I’m hyper allergic to bees and wasps…I’ve learned to survive with them.

It's a saying...

But, there does come a point when anecdotal stories become anecdotal evidence which leads to DATA.
I’d wager that a few ‘cancer clusters’ started getting identified after a few stories that started with "You know the guy around the corner got “XXX” a year after the SubStation was built" “Oh really? So did the girl two blocks over.” Deploy the researchers!

I think it is more an issue of better diagnosis today than in times past. Food allergies aren’t new, after all. We just do a better job of identifing them, treating them, and enabling their sufferers to live to reproductive ages thus (potentially) passing on the genes.

Exactly.
Food allergies aren’t new. But being the litigious society that we are, I guess admins would rather an outright ban on nuts over a potential lawsuit. I know what kind of insurance my son’s school has, and it’s a full time job just to keep up with the restrictions, exemptions, and ridiculous hoops that have to be jumped through. It’s easier for the teacher to say “no PB” than it is to create a “buffer zone” between allergic kids and non-allergic.
Some people have a pet peeve. I have a peeve menagerie.
It's also a difference in food, though.
I’m not botanist, but I’m pretty sure a lot of what we eat now isn’t grown the same way it was in the ’50’s, and that has to account for something.

What th....no peanut butter rule?
Is it an allergy thing or something?
"[Many] schools call themselves Wildcats and I am very sorry for there ought to be just one school by the name of Wildcat and that is that little Calvinistic, Presbyterian, fire eating, Bluestocking, Covenanter, dissenting Scotch-Irish school down in the wilds of upper Mecklenburg County."
– Henry T. Lilly '18
Minority/majority mix up
This ‘no peanut’ rule drives me insane.
/rant engaged
if YOUR kid has an allergy it is no reason that every other kid in the damn school has to alter their lunch habits. YOUR kid needs to go eat in another room by his/her self if the consequences of their contact with other kids’ sandwiches could be that harmful. But, if you really want to tell me what traditional sandwich I can no longer send to school for my kid then feel free to buy his/her lunch from the cafeteria EVERY SINGLE DAY.
//rantdisengaged
They float this idea at one of my kids schools…parents nearly revolted.
Go ahead and rant
I’m on the other side of this issue, with at least three relatives of varying degrees who are so violently allergic to peanuts that they can potentially go into anaphylaxis from breathing the aerosolized peanut oils your kid will have on his breath after eating in the other room.
A former co-worker lost his 19-year-old daughter after she ate one piece of candy that a Russian exchange student offered her at the summer camp where she was working because she was trying to be nice and not refuse to eat something where she couldn’t read the label.
So, go ahead and rant and make all the “PC/namby-pamby/helicopter parent” cracks you want. But just remember that this is serious, serious shit to those affected.
Et Universitatis Ohioensis delenda est!
That is fucked up.
-the idea of that serious an allergy, I mean. Can they do something with shots akin to what they do with other allergens?
As your attorney, it is my duty to inform you that it is not important that you understand what I'm doing or why you're paying me so much money. What's important is that you continue to do so. -HST
If anaphylaxis is a concern, greater access to Epi Pens might be a start

Epi Pens
To be blunt, but not mean…that’s kind a their problem, not mine. Listen, I understand that their are people that are that allergic to all types of things. (See bees/wasps comment above) But what do these people do when they go out of their houses any other places? It’s not like they have an advanced team clearing the way for them for life.
When they grow up these sorts of rules would never be put in place at their workplaces but because it is for teh ‘children’ people over react.
I hear you, I do
but I cut the kids more slack because the consequences of a kid forgetting his/her EpiPen could very well be death, and we all know kids are idiots about remembering things (said as affectionately as possible).
As your attorney, it is my duty to inform you that it is not important that you understand what I'm doing or why you're paying me so much money. What's important is that you continue to do so. -HST
I cannot count the number of times my dad said
“You’d forget your head if it wasn’t attached to your shoulders”
He was right, too.
As for the “no peanut” thing, I think it makes sense at the lower age groups, but could probably be phased into a less restrictive rule as kids get older. “Johnny, you can’t high-five Timmy after lunch because you had peanuts” is much more likely to get ignored at age 4 than at age 18

At age 4 it’ll get ignored because he forgets. At age 18 it’ll get ignored because FUCK YOU PARENTS YOU DON’T KNOW ME YOU CAN’T CONTROL ME I DO WHAT I WANT

Soemthing else to think about
Peanut Butter: $4/lbs…last two weeks
Deli meats: $8/lbs…last three days
Bans can place financial burdens on others.
But, without doing research on this I would wager that there are few ‘low income’ district schools banning peanut butter than there are in middle and upper income districts.
Couple two reasons to come to that conclusion…higher income areas have greater numbers that won’t notice/object to the increased costs that the ban imposes…and higher income areas likely hold more parents with the means to sue.
One more
Higher income areas are more likely to have students whose food allergies have been properly diagnosed.
But I think I’ve made my point and need not be a bore or ban-magnet.
Et Universitatis Ohioensis delenda est!
No bore, I'm glad you shared
I hope my “What th….” phrasing didn’t come off as insensitive. I honestly had never heard of a no-peanut policy before. And I hadn’t realized that the allergic reaction could be so violent.

If the kids are really that allergic (shock from others breath) then they and their parents should take personal measures to ensure their safety…not really on the general public to do so.

Here's how it usually goes:
Note: This typical student hasn’t shown up for class/quizzes in at least three weeks
Student email 1: “What can I do to raise my grade? I’ll do anything!”
My response 1: “Well, I noticed that your attendance has been a bit spotty recently- going to class always helps. Beyond that, my office is MCH 402A, office hours are XXX, and the math help center, located on the first floor of MCH, is open 9:30-3:30 Monday through Thursday.”
Student email 2, if she’s subtle: “Those times don’t really work for me- can I schedule some solo tutoring with you? /winkyface”
This is where the email chain gets forwarded to my boss and I respond with “I cannot do that, I am busy not only with my teaching, but also with my own studies. The office hours of all the people in the department can be found at the department website- perhaps you can work out a time with your teacher”

The thing with HS kids these days
is that could be totally “I’ll let you do horribly illegal things to me in order to get an A”, or simply “this is how we communicate, with winky things, and I have no idea how to not talk this way”. Of course, it’s 90% the former, most likely, but…sigh.

Depends on the university and your position
TA’s get some leeway, especially if they come in at 21-23, where they can have relationships with students but not students within their scope of influence (teaching/tutoring).
Instructors/Professors are not allowed to date students usually but some places make exceptions if they don’t have academic contact with the student.

Vanderbilt: “All 11 offensive starters are back, and playing in the conference that’s produced the last five national champions certainly provides plenty of opportunity to crack this list and do some party crashing. The problem for Vanderbilt — besides the talent mismatch it will still face in many SEC games — is that most of its real giant-slaying opportunities come on the road, including back-to-back weeks at South Carolina and Alabama and November trips to Florida and Tennessee. The biggest home games come in the back half of October with Georgia and Arkansas visiting Nashville.” This is the most convincing.
Purdue: Who?
Oregon State:
Clemson: “but Clemson is a big-name program that currently sits firmly on the wrong side of this discussion.”
Mississippi State: “There’s also a huge Week Two rivalry game at Auburn that will officially remove any under-the-radar protection that may have benefited Mississippi State in the past.”
Baylor: This guy isn’t even trying anymore.

gotta be better than 1-9 in the past 10 years for it to be a rivalry. it also helps to not lose 3-2… Week 3 against LSU will be a bigger test/game. 1-11 since 1999. I was at the game when MSState last beat LSU in Starkville (haven’t beaten them in Red Stick since 1991).

I can agree with that. MS State can have a good game against LSU record not withstanding.
MSS Auburn just isn’t that much of a rivalry

guess the only rivalry would be with Ole Miss
5-5 last 10 years. vs the rest of the SEC West is horribad.

I'm not sure if your blank space after Oregon State is meant to imply anything one way or the other...
… but they are pretty much the quintessential wild card team. If Katz ever figures out where he’s throwing the ball, they might even be more than that in the near future.

Do they remember the last time Ohio State came to West Lafayette?
I’m not even going to post the picture.
Will work for football.
I don't see the whole "inspirational" thing for the season...
either we’re better than teams or we aren’t. It’ll be a challenge to get to 7 wins, and I hope they can pull it off.
Will work for football.
I have somewhat first hand experience with this sort of thing
A teammate of mine died midseason of my sophomore year of HS. The next game was against a team that was much better than us. Our coach walked into the pregame huddle and just said. “They picked the wrong fucking week.” We won that game by 30. That emotional high did not last as we got pummeled the next week. It’s physically impossible to maintain that level of effort when you’re walking that fine line between rage and depression.
I aim to misbehave

Tate's spent enough time on the bench.
He’s in near-mint condition. Florida QBs, on the other hand, have been decimated by the Addazio.
