MU’s Fulmer Cup lead in Jeopardy
One of the funniest college football blogs out these days is EDSBS (www.everydayshouldbesaturday.com). It prides itself on pointing out the mistakes of various college football players around the country and turning it into a contest called the Fulmer Cup.
The Fulmer Cup, named after Tennessee coach Phil Fulmer because his team always seemed to have run-ins with the law, has been around for three years, and for the first time in the Cup’s existence Mizzou finds itself atop the leaderboard with 21 points (West Virginia is in second with 19 points). Make no mistake, this is not a good thing. It means that Missouri players have gotten into more trouble with the law than any other school in the nation.
Until now.
Colorado football is threatening that title this week after a pair of players were arrested and jailed for armed robbery. Former quarterback/running back/safety/bench rider Bernard Jackson and former safety Lionel Harris could net the Buffs, who are currently in fifth in the Fulmer Cup standings with 15 points, at least eight points for their larceny if they are still counted as members of the team. Mizzou had a walk-on that wasn’t technically on the roster counted, so two guys who actually started games should be tallied.
You can find a complete breakdown of the point system HERE.
I make light of this because no one was hurt except for Jackson and Harris, who are doing time in the county jail. It’s also a good reminder that no matter how much off-field/off-court trouble Missouri seems to get into there’s always someplace worse.
Graham, I read that you are leaving. I wish you the best of luck in your new job. Hopefully you can still cover Mizzou some.
I know that we disagreed some, but I was glad that you gave Mizzou fans the information that we need to know.
I was correct when I wrote in 2 years ago that Mike Anderson should be fired and that he was the wrong choice for coach. You said you needed to see him in year two. So do you finally agree?
Do you know who will be taking your place?
Take care and thank you!
Thanks Kevin.
Mike Anderson needs at least another year to see what he can do with his players. I said you guys could start talking about his ousting if this season is another disaster. I don’t think it will be, though. I think they’ll make the NIT.
Don’t know who will replace me. Not exactly privy to the info, but I have faith the P-D will make the right hire.
By the way, I find it funny that a post about armed robbery sparks a comment about Mike Anderson.
