MMA GUYS>FOOTBALL PLAYERS. ALLEGEDLY
First, in factual news: LSU QB Ryan Perrilloux has been cleared of any wrongdoing in an incident at the Varsity in Baton Rouge this past Friday, and will be allowed to play in this weekend’s game versus Alabama. Linebacker Derrick Odom, however, will be charged with something later today and then dismissed from the team.
This all comes from WJBO, and is likely close to factual. We’d like to think this account of what happened at the Varsity is just as factual. However, this is the internet, and like Ed Orgeron taking off his shirt and challenging everyone on the Ole Miss football team to fight, it’s at the very least truthy enough to repeat. So remember: it’s not fact, but it’s fact-esque. And that’s awesome enough for us.
Concussed? Sure. Scurred? Hell no, and loving it. Saturday night, one of the LSU football players was “performing” (rapping) at the Varsity (LSU had a bye last week). So naturally, a lot of the team showed up in support. Xavier Carter, who has found some trouble when hanging out with Odom and Perriloux in the past, was also at the bar that night. Apparently, one of the bouncers there had gotten into a fight with Carter a few years back. There were a few words between the bouncer and Carter, but things eventually died down between the two. However, Odom didn’t want to let things die down. So he’s running his mouth and starting shit with the bouncer as well. Perriloux is there, not stopping things but not backing down either.
At the same time, there were a bunch of local mixed martial arts guys having a party upstairs at the bar. One of these guys was friends with the bouncer, and the next thing you know, you have MMA guys and football players talking shit. From what I heard, the testosterone was through the roof, as you can imagine. So the night ends and they’re kicking people out, and the MMA guy and Odom end up in the parking lot, where the fight breaks out. Needless to say, the MMA guy beats the dogshit out of Odom. Perriloux was supposedly the one who threatened to go get a gun, but when you’re getting your ass spanked by a bunch of steriod junkies who fight for a living, what other choice do you have? (Besides not fighting to begin with, but that’s when you lose street cred, and next thing you know you’re getting raped in prison. And Odom ain’t no punk bitch).
Nope. He may be a menace to public safety and squanderer of a football scholarship to a fine university, but when you willingly take on someone with a neck like watermain and visible backne, you, sir, are no punk bitch. Thick-skulled? Possibly retarded? Cursed with an acute lack of understanding of applying force to the tender, breakable parts of a body in an disciplined rapid fashion? Yes.
Punk bitch, though? No, sir. And Derrick Odom may take that “not punk bitch” status and leave the LSU Tigers holding it proudly. Street value=0$, and exactly several million less than an NFL draft pick’s signing bonus.

The “incident” was due to lack of brain capacity nothing more. These idiots have the $$$ and just don’t see it until it passes right through their fingers. Having been an athlete in college quite a few years ago, I can say it’s not that f$#@&ng hard to stay out of trouble, really it isn’t. Morons.

As if there weren’t enough “story lines” for this coming weekend, we now have LSU players fighting and Bama back in the doghouse with NCAA.
I heard the game is now at 5:00 instead of 3:30. I guess they need an extra 90 minutes to fan the flames and soap oprify the game.
I’m just glad that Bama’s offenses include textbooks and not guns/violence, for a change. Though, I’m sure they’ll mention that we had some players arrested a couple of months ago.

Perriloux should be kicked off the team just for having the number of his attorney on his cell phone.

In Derrick Odom’s version, he destroyed the martial arts guy’s hands by repeatedly beating them with his face. Riverside, motherfucker!

I’m surprised someone hasn’t distinguished that this is Miles’ player and not Saban’s.
Two arrests in September — simple assault, unauthorized entry, two property damage charges and now this. Isn’t there a More Varsity Letters Than Mugshots rule?

The guy wouldn’t have had anything whipped if he were one of Saban’s players, etc.
Simple assault, two counts property damage and unauthorized entry. That was in December and now this. Two arrests for a redshirt freshman? Shouldn’t there be a standard, More Varsity Letters Than Mugshots rule?
What was it again that Randy Newman said about LSU?

When asked for comment, Urban Meyer thought Perrilloux sitting out three practices was “harsh”.

Odom was just doing what is right. As any young man here in Texas will tell you “Bitches deserved to be kicked”
“Not punk bitch” = Healthy unkicked football player

@4: Golf clap for the classic Simpsons reference
Why didn’t someone camera-video-phone and have it up on YouTube for our viewing pleasure? Nothing like committing crimes and showing it off to the world a la Penn State frats…

I love that fact as well. Then my smile turns upside down when I realize that ass RP is still here. Even though he should’ve been gone back in the summer.
But yeah, just cause you play football for a top ten team, doesn’t mean you can fight. And Odom sure doesn’t. Punk bitch status might be his after all.
Jeremy Benton caught a good beatin’ as well.
It’s nice if both of them are gone, but they should’ve been gone along time ago. It is angering and shameful as an alumnus and season ticket holder that they are still around and representing my school.

In another version, Crockett & Tubbs jumped out of the boat and halted RP’s South African Drug Dealer from escaping to a waiting jet on the runway. They then had a car chase to the varsity, and then had some blow and lost them.
I swear on a stack of Marvel comics it’s true.

He only got his ass whipped b/c he has only been in moffitt’s S&C program for a few months.

orson and lsujoshua,
one thing that seems to be consistent in every version i’ve heard is that odom got his ass whipped…which makes me smile.

One “truthier” version contends that it took place thursday night, not saturday night

How Ryan “Well daisy if you do” Perrilloux is still around is beyond me since pointing a gun at someone’s chest isn’t what I like to see from football players at my alma mater.
It’s also no small wonder that the coaches enjoy watching RP handoff so much in games since he gets plenty of practice with handing off firearms with his buddies when faced with a strong side blitz of the police.
Basically, Texas really dodged a bullet when RP decided to go to LSU.
-Odom did indeed get his ass whipped.
-There were no pregnant girlfriends there for Varsity employees to whup up on, RP and Odom made that up.
-The cops, surprise surprise, had no interest in the players but in the guys from the Varsity and the Varsity called the cops out there.

I am sure the young gentlemen were just having a discussion about whether white wine or a chilled merlot is better with redfish muniere… you know those cajuns take their food very seriously!

There are so many versions of the “real story” floating around Baton Rouge, nobody knows for sure. What it all boils down to is a bunch of football players and bouncers getting in a fist fight, with threats of guns etc - but nothing went past that. The ring leader in all stories centralizes around Odom. RP in some stories is an innocent victim, and in others is an instigator.
It appears 2 players will be charged and kicked off the team - Odom & Benton.
RP has been cleared and will be reinstated to practice.

I wonder what they were fighting about.
Odom: Lord Palmerston!
MMA Guy: PITT… THE… ELDER!
*wham*wham*wham*
Perilloux: It was Churchill, bitches, yo don’t make me pull heat!

“testosterone was through the roof”
That sounds like an understatement to me. I’m surprised they didn’t strip down, get oiled up and swordfight to the death.

Not the version I heard from someone who was there but who cares? I like this one more. “Not punk bitch” status works better here.
