FULMER CUPDATE: SOUTH CAROLINA, AS USUAL, FIRES FIRST
by Spencer Hall on Jan 13, 2012 12:41 PM EST
Email
PrintIt is a historical pattern for South Carolinians to fire first, so it is only appropriate that the Gamecocks begin official scoring in the 2012 Fulmer Cup. It would also be all too appropriate if, after the opening salvo, the South Carolinians in question said "What y'all got, BITCHES?", and were then demolished in the rest of the fight by a bunch of angry guys from Ohio and Maine burning down their possessions. This is saying that Ohio State is an early favorite to win the 2012 Fulmer Cup, and a bold prediction that Urban Meyer will literally burn down homes in South Carolina just to amuse himself as a prelude to the inevitable South Carolina/Ohio State Outback Bowl matchup.
The first points of the 2012 Fulmer Cup are awarded to South Carolina for the arrest of Byron Jerideau, a redshirt junior defensive tackle arrested in Columbia's vortex of minor criminal behavior, Five Points. (Blake Mitchell nods, and sips a beer quietly in the corner in your honor, Byron.) Jerideau's arrest for "disorderly conduct" early Friday morning comes without details of exactly how disorderly Jerideau was, but the mugshot from the Richland County Jail is pretty special all by itself.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN TACO NIGHT AT THE RICHLAND COUNTY JAIL WAS LAST NIGHT?
A misdemeanor disorderly charge is usually a single point, but Jerideau does receive a bonus point for being the first in the pool, thus bringing the Gamecocks total to two points in the 2012 Fulmer Cup. Scoring has begun, let Loki be praised.

we scored first in the Fulmer Cup.

I don’t think they would have ever expected the area to explode in population the way that it did.

That was a pipe dream that would never happen
Way too expensive to buy the land and far too many people would never want to sell
the census estimates the CSA population as this:
60: 1.31 million
70: 1.76 million
80: 2.23 million
90: 2.96 million
00: 4.11 million
10: 5.73 million
Waz there for the 2 million on the sign
in early 80’s.
Waz there for 3 million 18 months later.

Atlanta’s metro population is 5.3 million (versus the 420k in the city) [DC metro: 5.6 million, Miami metro: 5.6 million, Boston: 4.6 million]

I didn't say anything about demographics
but less than 10% of the metro area lives in the city
So, it's basically Detroit?
For all the bagging people do on Detroit, most of us are from the surrounding metro areas, which are by and large very nice and extremely cheap to live in.

Also to contrast
City of Detroit vs City of Atlanta demographics:
Bachelor degree percentage:
Atlanta: 45.7%
Detroit: 12.1%
Median value of owner-occupied homes:
Atlanta: 248k
Detroit: 85k
Median Household income:
Atlanta: 50.2k
Detroit: 29.4k
Poverty rate:
Atlanta: 21%
Detroit: 33%

Atlanta: 10.7k

I think your likely winner is a “young veteran” team — a deep group of guys who have two to five years of experience. The lack of practice time hurts the really young teams, and as you noted, the lack of rest will wear down the “old veteran” teams.

Cousins needed something
From what I heard/read from the Kings beat writers (two writers who I trust because they follow the team everyday) he would bully his teammates during practice. Maybe Smart or Hayes kicked his ass behind closed doors and told him not to act that way.
Personally I’m not buying that he’s a different person until time has passed or something goes against him and he behaves himself like an adult instead of using Donte Greene as a punch bag.
Bully how?

Basically bully the litter teammates on the team not named Evans, Garcia, or Beno. Jason Jones the Sac Bee beat writer said Cousins would do stupid stuff like flick their ears and push them. It wasn’t until Donte fought back it was made public.

Nadolig Hapus
It's all they will do for certain demographics, like SF types.
Lasik is less permanent, in that violent shock (an IED blast, perhaps) could dislodge the folded over flap of skin. PRK is scraping that away, so it’s much more painful, but there’s no chance of anything knocking it out of whack like that.
I did PRK for that reason, though I paid for it myself at a Japanese clinic, not through the military.

That was when I stopped watching the NFL so closely.

Until the next one. And the next one.
NFL needs to scrap the rule book and start from scratch. The technicalities with which plays are overturned now during instant replays are making the game so much less watchable. I mean, not going to say that I don’t watch anymore, because I do, but I certainly don’t care about it anymore. I can’t really remember the last time I saw a common sense call on a replay in the NFL.

It's German, or at least the name it's inspired by is
I met former Wisconsin punter Kevin Stemke when I was at the Rose Bowl. I drunkenly kept calling him Stempke with an emphasis on the P. He never corrected me (bless his heart) and was an all around good guy. The next day my friends started calling me Stempke and it stuck.

I just now realized it's not stempike.

But stop and think if something you spend a lot of manual time doing could be automated. Then you have a program to write.
Or if you use Excel, for example… you can avoid using that and instead write simple programs to read in data, do maths, generate graphs, and so on. Anyway.
That is what I use programming for ... converting data from one formate to a different format

There's like 80,000 outdoor college hockey games this weekend
Way to egg out a golden goose, non-NHL hockey organizations
/Bitter because Cornell will never be in any of these unless they get the Binghamton Mets or Syracuse Chiefs involved out of freakin’ nowhere
//Also bitter that Syracuse doesn’t have a men’s hockey team

College Hockey teams have been playing outdoors longer than the NHL has
Hell, Wisconsin and Michigan (I think) played at Lambeau.
