Ryan Perrilloux Status - Combined Threads

you can without a doubt spin that for both sides.

and i know the team wants him. but the team has their self interests ahead of everything else so their biased opinion means very little in the long run.

 

without a doubt it can go both sides.

But I do KNOW the police weren't called. Unless anyone wants to suggest the police dep't was greased by LSU.

So the score is 1-0 in favor of the football program over the media so far.

Yeah, no doubt it's true they can be covering stuff up, but if they were doing that, someone would have told me by now.

 

i would guess most dont any problem at all with this incident. i would howeverthink the problem many have is looking at the overall series history b/w the media and the team. something tells me it is a close series.

 

without a doubt, brother.

I just dont want someone's future decided by a what-if and I trust the LSU people to know more about this than the Tigerforums people.

But 1 more "major" incident. Anything involving a cop, anything involving any of that, and yeah, I agree he should be done.

 

I don't like giving rival schools reasons not to like LSU. We are an elite football program and everyone hates the really good teams. See USC, Alabama **cough**cheaters**cough** :wave::wave:.

Now, other fans are looking at this situation and saying "surprise surprise, look who is still on the team, the star QB." And stupidly, that bothers me, even though no coach in this country would send him packing without an established backup.


It just bothers me. I want LSU to be the ultra program that every other school strives to be like. :LSU231:LSU!:lsup:

Having a QB that seems to look for trouble as much as trouble seems to look for him does not strike that image, but it's not my decision... and I am not getting paid over $3 million to make that decision.

 

Anyone think the White House is going to change it's mind about honoring a team with a thug like RP?

 

Yesterday, the LSU Reveille (the LSU student paper), decided to run an editorial trashing RP and calling for him to be immediately kicked off the team.

Today, the LSU Reveille editorial board decided to run another editorial, saying that Miles made a "bad call," a "bad decision," that Miles is "flat-out wrong," and that his decision is "a slap in the face." (Side note: I love the childish arrogance of the editorial board, thinking that Coach Miles must always bow in submission to their decisions and opinions on how to manage the LSU football team, especially since everybody knows that Miles must bow in submission to the LSU Board of Supervisors, the LSU Chancellor, the LSU AD, and, to a somewhat lesser extent TAF and other prominent, powerful supporters of LSU football when it comes to their decisions and opinions on how to manage LSU's football team in light of LSU's reputation). Today's Reveille editorial also says:

"...the recent Perrilloux news frenzy has turned the Tiger football program into the butt of a national joke. This school's name does not deserve to be associated with a player who consistently embarrasses this community. ... LSU football is about more than wins and losses; it's also about maintaining positive national attention."

I'm at least glad the editorial board of the Reveille didn't make a whiny fuss about the White House honoring an American embarrassment, a national joke, like RP and Coach Miles and the LSU football team (at least not yet). I also love how the Reveille staff accuses Miles of making a decision that is a "slap in the face to the rest of the team," while themselves slapping both RP and Coach Miles (and indirectly, the entire LSU football program) in the face with their immature journalism over the past few days (hypocrites?). Fortunately for LSU football's national reputation, I can't find any other newspaper printing whiny, fussy, immature one-sided, and factually speculative journalism like the Reveille is doing regarding the RP situation.

 

The White House was built for thugs.

 

It would be interesting to see President Bush share his thoughts with RP about President Bush's own experience of being accused by the media of being drunk in a restaurant and cursing and shouting obscenities. From a front-page story in a 1999 issue of the Washington Post:

 

I forgot to mention that if you read the rest of that Washington Post series on Bush's life (this was during the campaign for the 2000 election), you'd see that the Post's assertions make RP seem like a Saint compared to Bush, who went on to serve two terms as the President of the United States of America. And the Washington Post isn't some little student newspaper for some state university, the Washington Post is the flagship newspaper for the capital city of the United States, one of the most widely-read newspapers in our nation.
