Most Recent Story: 2010 Fulmer Cup Preview
For the MHT gnomes, it has been difficult to care much about the bowl season because they're still recovering from their latest bender and another horrific season of Miami football, but they are really looking forward to the Fulmer Cup season. Brought to you by the unsurpassed brilliance of EveryDayShouldBeSaturday, the Fulmer Cup tracks the off-field shenanigans of Division I-A football programs, awarding points for both baseline criminality and style. The award is named for former Tennessee coach ("Phat") Phil Fulmer whose commitment to boys-will-be-boys discipline and depth-chart justice inspired the competition.
In 2009, South Florida proved that the Big East really might be a BCS conference after all, taking advantage of its proximity to Ybor City to roll up enough points to edge out defending champion Alabama and other traditional heavyweights en route to its first Fulmer Cup title. Several other mid-majors proved that lack of resources is no bar to big-time criminality, as four non-BCS programs cracked the top ten. Prior Fulmer Cup champions include Illinois (2007) and Marshall (2006).
And, now, our fearless predictions for 2010. Please use them solely for recreational purposes (unless you're an old school BC player).
