Ryan Perrilloux Status - Combined Threads

Did Bush call him a pepper-belly?

 

Bob Stoops would... See Oklahoma in 2006 and we ended up with a WR playing QB.

 

I don't remember the details of that, but didn't it involve things that broke NCAA rules and could lead to sanctions?

 

Spot on post Red. It's the same paper that reported CNS was in BR talking to LSU about the HC job.

If he's citing Bomar, you are right.

 

Indeed it did. Bomar and Quinn took a combined total of $13,000 under the table for hours they didn't work.. The NCAA sanctions that came down were a slap on the wrist because we did in fact boot the incumbent starting QB. We forfeited 8 victories that were later returned, lost two scholarships a year for two years and we had 1 less recruiter on the road.

The question I pose is: Which is worse? Kicking a NCAA violator off the team or letting a player who continues to run afoul of the law remain on the team? Rival schools perspective of OU, when the Bomar thing broke was " Oh Stoops is running the Switzer playbook" but after the story broke fully even OU's staunch haters realized that Bomar and Quinn were clowns

 

Thought so. Stoops dismissed Bomar to save the program and save his own behind in the process. Don't know how you would conclude that Stoops would dismiss RP. No comparison here.

 

Do a little research and you will see Stoops has dismissed a number of players I drew the comparison between RP and Bomar because they share the same position

 

How about you do the research and provide the info since you showed up out of left field providing the Sooner angle. It's just not that important to me. Especially since it is obvious from your comments that you were tryiing to compare this to the Bomar situation.

By the way, welcome to the forum.

 

Right, the Reveille is a student newspaper, but the LSU football team is a student football team. Yet, the LSU football team has a bureaucracy of adult authority that is responsible for it, which, at the top of the food chain, is ultimately the LSU Board of Supervisors. I'd imagine that the same thing is true of the LSU student newspaper... that there is adult authority that signs off on any editorial decision made by the student editors, being that what the LSU student paper prints reflects on LSU, just like what LSU football players do reflects on LSU. My problem isn't with the student editors, my problem is with the adults in charge of monitoring those students so that they don't make dumb editorial decisions that embarrass LSU.

And yes, good point on comparing how the Advocate has its stuff together better than the adults in supervision of the LSU student paper (who I assume is one or more journalism professors on the LSU faculty).

Yes, the Advocate relied on testimony from the restaurant manager, Perrilloux's lawyer, a spokesman from the AD, the police, etc., etc. All the LSU student paper did, in their first story, was rely on an unnamed "server at Kona Grill." See http://media.www.lsureveille.com/me...d.In.Restaurant.Incident.Sunday-3297385.shtml

In their second story, they relied on "Another employee at Kona Grill" ... who "agreed to speak to The Daily Reveille under the condition of anonymity," and "Another Kona Grill server, Drew Watson, [who] said he knew 'all about the incident'" but was "not the server who spoke about the incident nor the server who was harassed." See http://media.www.lsureveille.com/me...Employee.Qb.Called.Server.osama-3300438.shtml

Their "sources" were so weak that they couldn't even get the day of the incident right: the web version of the first article states "Editor's Note: The incident was initially listed as Friday. More sources have confirmed it was Sunday, rather than it was Friday." See http://media.www.lsureveille.com/me...d.In.Restaurant.Incident.Sunday-3297385.shtml
