JUMBO FULMER CUPDATE: VOLS, BAMA, AND COCKS, OH MY!
There’s much going on and Brian’s not going to have the big board until tomorrow morning, so here’s your jumbo-sized Fulmer Cupdate for the day. It’s a classic one at that: all SEC, DUI, weed, and a double Yellowhammer State felony extravaganza.
Ready to rock!
Britton Colquitt can’t drive after five drinks. Therefore, he earns a DUI for smashing into a car, causing $400 worth of damage, hitting a tree stump, and admitting the whole thing to officers in his arrest. To Fulmer’s credit, Colquitt earns the crack-the-whip momentum of the Vols’ current streak of misbehavior in one of the stiffest Vol penalties we can remember: suspended for the first five games of ‘08 and stripped of his scholarship. It’s three more points for the Vols, who aren’t in the lead-that’s Missouri, who should have 14 points on the board from tomorrow-but it’s a terrifically strong showing for the Vols.
The cloned fourth Colquitt will have to step in for Britton. He should be out of the jar by May and ready.
Alabama pulls in a double felony charge on unspecified first-degree armed robbery charges for Jeremy Elder. First-degree armed robbery, under Alabama law:
Under state law, first-degree robbery involves either a “deadly weapon or dangerous instrument” or someone causing “serious physical injury to another.” Both charges are Class A felonies.
The details could be juicy, but for now the blind-item charges get six points. Alabama may not claim their 32nd national title in the Fulmer Cup yet.
The Cocks get in on this with their first points of the season, and it’s a natural: weed. A Cocks classic:
Authorities say LeCorn, 19-year-old USC wide receiver Matthew Clements, and another man, 18-year-old John Casselberry, were detained after authorities responded to a call of loud music from their car. Officers say they smelled marijuana inside.
It’s always a great idea to turn up the music if you’re going to be smoking weed in your car. Especially if you’re a black teenager in South Carolina. Cops never, ever look for that. Nope.

After seeing that picture (which is missing the half-empty box of Krispy Kreme’s), I think the rumbling sound was Buck Owens turning over in his grave.
It’s nice to see the SEC step up in the Fulmer Cup and not just let the other conferences run roughshod over them. Judging from Phil’s suspension, UF must be game 6.

How many points for the feloniously disturbing couch behind Fulmer in the picture?

If you’re going to rob somebody, do it with some gusto man. I mean it’s dumb to toss away your life because you feel like mugging somebody, but at least grab a car or some flat screen TVs.

Les Paul needs to sue Gibson for allowing a product bearing his name to be defaced so.

It’s hard out there for a scholarship athlete.

I think the Tennessee ordeal may give Saban an idea for running off those extra scholarships and look like a good guy for doing it. With all those die hard Alabama fans, he could easily make a call and get some no names arrested.
I seriously have no hard feelings towards Alabama or Saban. I’m just throwing it out there in case he reads this board and needs some help.

Also, that picture is disturbing in a way that I can’t put into words.

The Elder arrest should put bed any rumors that Bama pays its players…

The Elder thing is just further evidence that college athletes should be granted some sort of stipend. They shouldn’t have to resort to armed robbery. Elder is just a victim of a culture that treats student-athletes little better than slaves. Except that they’re allowed to learn to read (in some cases). Won’t somebody think about the student-athletes!
And just in case, the above was tongue-in-cheek.

Elder held two students up at gun point for $26. You can’t make that up!
