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.
