Fulmer Cupdate

From EDSBS


This year is starting nicely. Already involved is robbery, felony level drug possession, a 4th alcohol related arrest for one player, an Uzi, and a hit-and-run. All that, and it's not even flippin' March yet. Who's excited? You're excited. I'm excited.

Illinois and Tennessee are making early surges for the coveted #1 spot.



As a side note:

I'm not a great writer by any stretch. I still have to proofread these things like 10 times and I still have typos and goofy word arrangements.

I like to think I'm moderately funny or clever at some points at least. If you have a chance read this article by Mike Freeman over at CBS.

I think Freeman is really trying to be funny and make a point here, but he's too busy taking a jab at everything under the sun to really seem very altruistic or even make sense. If you're going to be funny, that's fine. Go ahead and be funny. If you're going to make a point, then make your point. Freeman's article is so busy trying to be humorous about the "problem" and then be serious at the end that it's just plain goofy. I haven't heard that many cliche' lines since... well I'll hold off on the cliche' lines for propriety's sake.

Expect RTT on that in full force.

OU to get 2005 wins back. What's that? Like 7?

It's not like there were that many wins to begin with, but OU has had its wins from 2005 restored.

If you don't remember they were stricken from the record by the hammer that is the NCAA because of Rhett Bomar and J.D. Quinn's receiving of paychecks for "working" at a car dealership. By working, of course, I mean not showing up or doing anything. They received well over a 10k between them for minimal hours worked.

What was awesome about the whole story is that it was broken on a Texas A&M message board months before ESPN or SI were on that one.


*** On a completely unrelated note, Myles Brand has been seen driving a new Beamer with a big red tag sticking out of the trunk.

This was going to end poorly from the beginning.

Nevada teen admits to making up Cal/Ore recruiting scandal

From the IHT, Si.com, and the interwebs in general.

When I first heard this story it sounded familiar from some kid named McKinner Dixon when he declared for A&M (A&M didn't offer.) Dixon however played at Texas Tech and had a decent if not good career.

Hart however will probably have neither sadly.
