BUT WHERE WAS RAMGOD?

Rueben Randle and friend, Ramgod.

Rueben Randle, much-desired wide receiver recruit, received a personal tour of the Louisiana State capitol courtesy of LA Governor Bobby Jindal aide Timmy Teepell. (Remember: politics is one of those disciplines where one not only can, but should keep a nickname that would get your ass mocked to a painful death in any other community.) No word on whether Randle was accompanied by Ramgod, but his presence was likely unnecessary as Ramgod sees all Randle sees and knows all that he thinks. Hint: if you want to know where he's committing, ask Ramgod, Rivals and Scout types. He knows all.

We all think “Blade” will commit to the pagans of LSU…..and will be sponsored by your local Louisiana Dodge Ram 1500 dealer “Take the Ram Challenge…It has a RAMBOX”………..a sacrifice will be in order, then deep fried. Then placed on a bed of rice. Then deep fried again.

So, Ramgod has a “reliable source” in the AD, close to the situation who told him that Randle has been a silent verbal for some time and is a stone cold lock? His source has told him to keep that knowledge to himself, so he quickly went out and posted that on his favorite team’s message board. Randle will likely come in and push for playing time right away, might even start, he is a stud… unless of course he signs with another school, heaven forbid a rival. In that case he is overrated, selfish and will be a cancer for whomever signs him.

God I love recruitin season.

Paid internship for student/athlete selected by Miles? Sketchy…

@4 – Nice try but wrong…same internship program is available to Tulane athletes but the football coach is not the person who fills the poistion…choice is made by the AD’s office/administration…

And Coach Willis says “Hi”….

@ 5

Louisiana might be crazy but in either 4, 8, or 12 years, the entire United States is going to be “crazy.”

South Carolina got in trouble for having Governor Fudd (Jim Hodges) talk to a recruit, although that was because the Guv was an ex officio member of the board of trustees.

In looking at the LSU system to see if Jindal had a similar issue, I came across Louisiana Board of Regents member Bubba Rasberry. That might be greatest name in the history of mankind (with all due apologies to Barkevious Mingo):

You can’t be right. I read it on the interweb.

Also, having such an employment program is one thing. Talking to a recruit about it is another.

The aide did whatever was done, not JIndall, himself. O neglects to put the “a” in aide and everyone goes all water in the head.

As I mentioned, I don’t think it was a violation b/c it is not the same situation as Hodges, but I doubt the “it wasn’t me, it was my aide” defense would provide any cover if there was a problem.
