The Fulmer Cup

You knew it was too good to be true. The University of Georgia, a perennial contender on EDSBS's (Everyday Should Be Saturday) "Fulmer Cup" competition stayed clear of it in 2011.

Not so much in 2012. Add 2 more names to the ever growing list of Bulldog defensive players suspended for the beginning of the season.

Starting safety Baccari Rambo and linebacker Alec Ogletree reportedly will miss at least the first 2 games of the 2012 season for what the DawgPost.com website says is a "Violation of Team Rules".

Georgia has neither confirmed or denied the report, though Mark Schlabach of ESPN says he has confirmed it with an "Unnamed Source" inside the program.

((**ed note--Our UGA friends have been quick to point only arrests count as points. We are aware of this.**))

The Bulldogs were already facing life without starting cornerback Sanders Commings and cornerback Branden Smith to start the year. Commings will miss 2 games after being charged with domestic violence and Smith, who hasn't been suspended yet, was charged with marijuana possession while on Spring Break.

For those unfamiliar with EDSBS's "Fulmer Cup" it was named by the editor of the website, Orson Swindle,  for former Tennessee coach Philip Fulmer who had a history of bringing in players who were always in trouble during the offseason. And yes, though we like and have many friends at the University of Georgia, they almost always seem to have multiple problems with player behavior between the months of January and May.

And while Georgia went through the 2011 offseason with almost no problems, they seem to be eager to return as perennial contenders for 2012's title.

We can think of nothing more fitting for our Georgia friends than this:



ESPN's Radi Nabulsi has word from Rambo's high school head coach, Alan Ingram, and he tells Nabulsi that Rambo was a victim in all of this...

"Bacarri went down to Panama City Beach with some friends," Ingram said. "One of the nights he went to bed before they did. He got up the next morning, was hungry and found some brownies on the table. He had some with some milk and told me, 'I got high.' The other guys got up and told him that the brownies were not for him. Apparently they were laced with marijuana.

"I think that is the story. I think that is exactly what happened. Not many times would I say that, but he has never lied to me before."

Rambo told Ingram that he could have faced a four-game if he turned himself in, so he chose not to do that and see how things fell out...
