Perrillouxse Times. This weekend’s story of great intrigue is the fate of Ryan Perrilloux. Our source at LSU says that there’s nothing official to the story yet, but that’s cagey propriety at its best. Perrilloux, previously associated with a sketchy casino visit thingy, may or may not have left LSU this weekend. Kevin went large with this, and message boards like Orangebloods have been posting all sorts of exciting and totally unsubstantiated rumors that we’ll believe because: A. This is Louisiana. Here’s a list of factors we’ve heard in conjunction with this story: casinos, poker games, cash, gambling debt, gambling addiction, parental meddling, cocaine, illegal benefits, and extortion. What is actually happening will never be known; this seems a certainty in this case, especially given factors A, B, and C above. The knowns here we can focus on: LSU’s only experienced qb is a grave liability conduct-wise, may be gone from the team, and will make any proposed bid for a repeat SEC/MNC title for LSU even shakier than than it may have been without Glenn Dorsey, who’s left for the NFL. Dark things lurk here, but at this moment, there’s much ado about nothing. Take anything you hear with generous heaps of salt–again, refer to factors A, B, and C above. Colquitt should have punted. Yup, Britton Colquitt got a DUI. The Fulmer Cup entry will follow shortly, but without parsing the numbers, this should put Tennessee where it should be: in the lead. Roger Sonsini, the high school assistant who insinuated that Darrell Scott’s recruitment was a bit sketchier than the average high school recruiting process, has been fired for the remarks. The MZone has the heartwarming story of Buckeyes marrying at the White Castle, a practice we’ll defend heartily here. First, White Castle is superb grub, and just as good a place to take a fifty percent gamble with your precious life as anywhere. It’s also cheaper than a church, and in a recession, probably a wiser choice financially. Finally, if you get married at a White Castle, you’re sure to share one of the most intimate features of marriage with your significant other immediately: explosive, tear-inducing, bat-killing flatulence. On this President’s Day, let’s salute the ultimate in underrated Presidents: the great continent-grabber himself, James K. Polk. Whinnying at ya, dark horse. |

A gay, slave-owning Tar Heel from Bama. It must have been the Bama part that caused the good people of Seattle to re-name their county.

I hope since the Div 1-AA Univerisity of South Alabama is starting a football team they can take transfers, like USF….2 players I nominate Joey Jones to go after are Derrick “Aint No Punk Bitch ” Odom and Ryan “It’s toooo late to apologize…..its toooooo laaaate…..” Perilloux, and maybe one more in Willie Williams….
And looks like Saban wont have to burn a grayshirt and simply cut Elder to make room for the incoming class…..I am sure there will be more to follow…maybe he heard he was on the list and decided to go out with guns blazing……Was he robbing a Jared’s?

#25 Yes. Knoxville really is that bad
#33 This is not a place for political argument but the last President to leave with a balanced budget (actually a surplus) was Clinton.

William Rufus King, only Alabaman to ever hold one of the 2 high offices, was his Vice President/Catcher.
And until recently, King County, WA was named after him. In a move of ridiculous political correctness, they renamed King County after MLK Jr, because William Rufus King was a slave owner. Nothing against MLK, who was a fine individual, but this change cost taxpayers $600k because they also changed the logo to MLK’s on every piece of government literature.
Maybe they should just rename Washington after Denzel, since George was a slave owner as well.

I’m just saying LSU fans shouldn’t be sad today. That’s it. Cause this would have happened during the year anyway. Better to get it over with before the spring.

i don’t think most LSU fans think perrilloux was destined for greatness; rather, they’re aware that the depth chart behind him makes him look pretty good. maybe lee will live up to his potential in his first year of college football, but i doubt it.

I can’t get over this, I can’t believe anyone, especially LSU fans, can defend Ryan Perilloux as a QB. It’s like defending him as a human. It’s like defending Brandon Cox as a QB: yea he won some games but most of those games were won despite the QB.

James K Polk was an awesome President. Didn’t want the job, did what he said he would, left, never heard from him again. If only we had more like that.
The ghey pres was great too. William Rufus King, only Alabaman to ever hold one of the 2 high offices, was his Vice President/Catcher. And was sworn in on Cuban soil. It’s true.

Ryan Perilloux is not good. A) he almost lost the game for LSU against Auburn for a timely fumble, god bless him for trying and B) The SECCG shouldn’t have been that close. TENNESSEE people, TENNESSEE! So don’t even trying using that one, you will only be laughed at. Personally, I’ll take playing Perilloux every day of the week, the pick 6 odds against him are at least 4/1. Thats guaranteed money. But no, no LSU PLEASE keep him ad PLEASE start him, I would love for Auburn to walk leisurely into the SECCG this year.

Radio here in new orleans just reported that RP has been suspended indefinitely for among other things failing to go to class and team meetings.

James Polk: Tar Heel.

I think Fulmer just set up a Colquitt breeding factory so he would have a steady supply of kickers.
When does the next generation show up, and are they clones?

ChemE93:
Yep, he was brought in with Saban’s first class….although there’ll be disagreement as to whether he recruited him, or honored the offer that Shula made.
Regardless, it’s “his” player, so it’ll be interesting to see how off -the-field discipline evolves (or devolves) with this team.

There is a kind of Phil Fulmer Fulmer Cup logic to the fact that Phil Fulmer has suspended Colquitt 5 games for his 5th alcohol related arrest at Fulmer University. I wonder if he ever shows up for games drunK?
