RYAN PERRILLOUX, WINE CONNOISSEUR, LOCAL CHARACTER, QB.

You couldn’t make this guy up. If he was the asshole boyfriend of The Girl in a college sex comedy, I’d say : “Pffft. Yeah, right”

I’ve gotta be honest… I kind of like the guy.

Here’s the interesting thing about this. He couldn’t have picked a stranger place to do this. Kona Grill is one of a number of businesses in the new mixed-use development known as Perkins Rowe (think Atlantic Station but about a tenth of the size). Besides the Barnes and Noble and the movie theater, the shops down there are geared toward your average rich housewife (with the J.Crew being as close to “low-rent” as you get).

The Kona Grill is what it sounds like. A heavily pretentious grill/ bar/ can’t-make-up-its-mind-what-kind-of-food-it-sells so-long-as-it’s-expensive restaurant. It’s one thing to make an ass of yourself in Port Allen, a place known for years as being the place that state legislators, students, and athletes go to get drunk, see breasts, and, otherwise, do things you don’t tell your wife, parents, and tax payers.

The point I’m making is that Perilloux couldn’t have found a more visible place to do something like this. There are places in Baton Rouge that are sympathetic to the football team’s shenanigans. Perkins Rowe is definitely not one of them.

However, when WWL contacted the local manager of the Kona Grill this morning, the manager “categorically” denied that any incident took place.

Whoopsy! Looks like someone got paid off! Wonder if RP ponied up the cash himself out of his casino winnings?

Was in an April Fools Joke by the student newspaper?
If not, can Les claim it was?

RP is a DH of the 1st order. And so, apparently, is THE HAT.

Also, I thought the Willamette Valley was supposed to be good? But I’m pretty much the last person I’d ask for advice in that category.

When does RP get his own category in the Fulmer Cup?

Shenanigans are what make the world go ’round. I applaud shenanigans in all forms, especially when they sound like the rantings of an alcoholic homeless person.

Also what did he call him? Whitey? Cracka’?

This is all relative to the process…….

of Perriloux Armageddon.

And I for one welcome our new 60 million dollar overlord…..

When does RP get his own category in the Fulmer Cup?

I was just thinking the same. The ETJ3 Award goes to the greatest individual achievement in one-fell-swoop, but I’m not sure that there’s a best-recurring feature award. Whatever’s decided, RP is probably just marginally ahead of Stephen Garcia/mini-MC in that category.

Brian @ 9, it was more like “osama” and “terrorist”

At this point, is there any story involving RP and some combination of casinos, strippers, and alcohol that you wouldn’t believe? If someone told me that Perrilloux was hanging out with Pacman Jones and Marcus Vick at an all-night poker-sex-dogfighting club, I wouldn’t even blink.

Pretty impressive for someone who hasn’t even been a full-time starter yet.

Question is, was RP inexplicably drawn to the ’Kona Grill because of a perceived Common reference?

More like Sixty Cent.

How many PedEggs will $60MM buy you?

12MM total, if you act now.

Perrrilloux actually visited Starksville after he decommitted from Tejas.

Which means that he still would have wound up at LSD, only about a year later.

they should fire him. then he would have to go back to selling cocaine on da skreets

It’s tough out there for a bon vivant.

DC @ #19…funny!

From a metaphysical standpoint it appears that Mr. Perrilloux (which sounds like phonetic french for perilous) is creating a wonderfully high level of negative inertia which creates the expectation of negativity and will ultimately manifest itself in continually greater levels of unfortunate circumstances.

While a boon to those of us who get to watch and comment, it will create havoc with the individual’s karmic balance and though it provides a tremendous example of an individual expressing his free will, it further exacerbates his other-dimensional efforts at ascension.

Honest, that’s what my lesbian, buddhist psychic told me…

@ joe,

say what you want about kona, but that shit is tasty. overpriced?? yep…but most restaurants are these days…unless you’re in port allen of course

Get him an SUV, 5 guns, a hatchet and a bottle of grey goose.

Sorry LSU fans it’s on like Donkey Kong.

Seabass – you need a witness who’s willing to testify against him before the SUV/Grey Goose incident occurs. Sounds like the Kona folks lack the Kahonas. Coward nips. j/k

“Here’s the interesting thing about this. He couldn’t have picked a stranger place to do this.”

You are under the false assumption that he is thinking about actions before he actually acts. Perriloux doesn’t need that shit.

Text*LSU Holla*End Text.

Before you know it, he’ll be on Dr. Phil’s show. Along with Brittney Spears. What is Cajun for “train wreck?”

I have a hard time reconciling Perrilloux’s off field behavior with the fact that he looks like lovable Kenan Thompson. This actually makes his antics even funnier. I loved him in Snakes on a Plane.

Good job posting unsubstantiated rumors, cause that is what this is. There are numerous reports and articles refuting this article and saying that RP didnt cause any trouble at all. Just because he has had his troubles in the past doesnt mean it gives you the right to crucify him over the slightest rumor that just so happened to come out over April Fools.

If RP is actually in trouble again, he might manage to survive this by spending every waking moment for the next four to six months running Tiger Stadium’s steps until he throws up something he ate in 1994.

The least thing he could do is transfer to South Carolina.

No. Seriously. We need a quarterback.

Go Cocks!

If he truly wanted a Pinot Noir, he deserves this crap.

Order a Malbec — the juice of a $60 mln man — and he would have a new je ne sais quoi to his game.

Personlly, I think Mad Dog is likely his drink of choice.

Of course the RP false alarm has covered up the real LSU news of the day, the spirited Fulmer Cup debut of backup linebacker Shomari Clemons:

(second story)

Note that after being pepper- sprayed, the presumably blinded and gagging Clemons, still game, made an apparent grab for the officer’s weapon. This no doubt led to the next step in the police manual after pepper spraying: Rapid Applied Skull Thrashing. The resulting comprehensive beatdown must be the explanation for why he escaped with a misdemeanor charge only.

Jeff @28 – If its all rumors, then why isn’t he back at practice? There is obvioulsy something going on……

The Willamette Valley certainly produces great Pinots. Just like Napa and their production of great Cabs, you will get your fair share of mediocre wines. Since Willamette is relatively young, it isn’t as well known and hasn’t developed quite the reputation of the established regions in the wine industry. See the Columbia River in Washington as another example as a young, but good region. Also, while the label shown here is listed as “Cheap Red Wine” it is actually a decent table wine that has been around for decades.

An employee of the Kona Grill has gone on record (anonymously) with the Daily Reveille here at LSU confirming the story.

Comment hilarity ensues.

At least no one ordered Merlot while he was there. I can hear RP now: “I am NOT drinking any fucking Merlot!”
