PERRILLOUX UPDATE: SUSPENDED, GONE
Not that LSU doesn’t have some other improbably talented, untacklable bayou cleatgenius lined up behind him. Because they do, oh, you know they do, just pulling them out of a portal located next to the stadium. (What? You think they’d keep a tiger around just for funsies?)
But Ryan Perrilloux, the would-be starting qb of the LSU Tigers, has been suspended indefinitely from the LSU Tigers, and may have been the reason behind a cancelled presser from head coach Les Miles today. The rumors: that he’s gone, gone, gone, but thus far Miles’ leash has been beyond long for Perrilloux.
Again: this is a pumpkin on the foot of LSU 2008.

What a shame. I hate to see what would surely be dozens of unfulfilled FC points wasted.

We will either be starting a redshirt freshman or a transfer from Harvard.

Just waiting for a DJ Hall vs ULM ala Nick Saban moment or the ‘oh shit, I dont care what he did or how long I suspended him, get his ass into the football game!’ moment. Wait a minute, I don’t even think Les Miles is that stupid. And I don’t think I have ever referred to Les Miles as being less-dumb than anyone.

7- Go punch yourself in the face for taking shit too seriously. This was obviously a hit on Nick Saban.

If Rp is let back on the team, do any Fulmer Cup points he might incure between now and reinstatement count to LSU’s total? If he racked up multiple points, would he become his own team? A modern day city/state, if you will?

Next thing you’ll be telling me he mugged Les for $30.

I figure after about four spring practices, Miles says “I can have this shit QBing my team” and finds some reason to pardon RP.

Quinton says:
He’ll be suspended for the first half of the Appy State game. No way Lester starts Jarrett Lee at Auburn and at Florida. If RP was gone, Lester would have said he’s been dismissed from the team. “Indefinitely suspended,” means that he won’t have to practice much in the spring. He’ll be back to startin’ fights and printin’ money in no time.

Crabapple Buck says:
Is this like a JoePa, suspend them over the off-season and reinstate them in time for the first game suspension, or the real kick him off the damn strong team permanently thing? I bet if Les has him clean Mike VII’s cage, he could play. But he probably couldn’t survive because Mike likes to eat people.

Coop says:
I just read the gist of Brian’s closing argument versus the Alabama bloggers.
Please, God, tell me that he was greatly exaggerating, the best kind of strawman is the Internet strawman where you wage wars from thousands of miles away, the Alabama folks’ position.
He summarizes the Capstone Report’s position as:
Scholarships are one year contracts. (true) If these kids don’t perform on the field, there is nothing requiring us to renew their scholarship. (technically, true) We don’t care whether they are 4th year juniors or 3rd year sophomores or…,
if they do not perform at a level to warrant a scholarship, then start paying your own way through school, and this is not up for debate because the NCAA never meant for scholarships to be four year agreements.
Honest to God, someone tell me that the Capstone Report did not write the above.

Wes says:
Quinton- Indeed, he threw in the ‘indefinately suspended’ instead of ‘we took his scholarship and kicked him off the team.’ RP shows up against Auburn and Florida. Whether they win as a result is very disputable.

Der Schatten says:
There is NOOOO fucking way RP is NOT starting against the Barners and Tebow. None. He’ll be dusting out Miles’ erasers in Red Stick all summer, but, at the end of the day, he’s playing.

Biggus Rickus says:
I think Perrilloux will likely be reinstated in time for fall practice, and I don’t question that he’s a talented kid. But do you really want a QB with gambling problems starting? I mean, that just seems a point shaving scandal waiting to happen.

Just dangle a -211/2 point line in front of RP’s nose for the opener and BOOM MOTHERFUCKER. He’ll be suspended again. Oh yea, screw you Will Muschamp.

Ryan Perilloux, I would like you to meet some friends you should be hanging out with……Maurice Clarrett, Mike Vick and Pac Man Jones……you know you spend to much time at the Strip Club when your mail is forwarded there……..Gambling is wrong, Counterfeiting poorly fake ID’s and money is wrong……running your mouth to MMA guys and you dont know what MMA stands for is wrong…….IF Terrell Pryor hasnt committed yet, there is a spot at LSU he should look at…..

AArgh. And I thought the mortars at the BIAP were bad news!
You might think Glenn Dorsey or Matt Flynn might pull RP aside ala Joe Namath to Kenny Stabler and say “He means it!”

29 – I have a strange attraction to Stacey Dales.
I feel guilty about it because she played women’s basketball past the YMCA level, and I deem all women who play any sport other than tennis or field hockey, cue the dykes on spikes joke, to be the sort of lesbian you don’t see on Cinemax around 11 PM.
There appear to be several flaws in the above logic, but I am going to go with it until Stacey Dales arrives at my house to disprove my theory.

Wow, props to the pumpkin on the foot graphic. When you first typed it, I thought about it and said “yeah, that’s about right.” I guess someone did a GIS for “tiger with pumpkin foot” and got lucky. Oh yeah, Pryer would look reeeeal good in some P&G…
