WWL: Perilloux Suspended Indefinitely

I don't know all that is involved but 2 Mikes (Detillier& Scarborough) that I respect, say that he should be let go. Also several other LSU observers whose names I can't remember say the same. In fact, don't know of any who support retaining him. One (think it was Scarborough- not sure though) said that RP was not well liked by most on the team. Some said that he had almost no relationship with his biological father who passed, therefore, that was not a factor in his behavior.
It looks like Miles is testing which way the winds are blowing or trying to wait out the discontent and then announce that RP will be reinstated. He may be allowed to participate in Spring practice. I guess we will see.
It is amusing to see the justification of RP offered in this thread by the LSU faithful, along with assurances that Miles is a disciplinarian. Btw, I don't think Saban is either, he seems to be more of a nagger, i.e., he demands that things be done a certain way, but he sticks with you if you take his "encouragements" and show any disposition towards compliance. Of course, all with limitations. At least part of his motivation is his great respect for those who actually play and coach the game, as opposed to his contempt for those who simply talk/write about it for profit.

We pay Miles 3.5 million to do one thing. You guys pay Nick to do one thing. Win (and he will).
Ryan offers us the best opportunity to do that relevant to the QB position. :biggrin:
Awfully cleaned up version but , it shouldn't matter anymore when one considers how high a stack of baggage RP has built up . Neither does my opinion but , I'd boot him for the Spring and go from there .
I hate to offer the enemy any advice as if anyone could possibly care but , when you are the defending NC's harsh measures must be taken . Whenever a team wins big , no matter how high the character of the players or coaches , there is and alawys will be a tendency to not work quite as hard and to lose focus to some extent . Being high profile athletes , these guys think and believe they are invincible and IMO , you have to knock them back into reality at the 1st opportunity in order to try and make it the only opportunity .
I think if he's gone for either the Spring or forever , you're better off . If not , you're open to the possibitlity of becoming just another Fatville . Wether if they know it or not , your team needs the message - not just RP .
JOMO .

Just say that up front and not much that most honest observers can say.
Of course in this case it may be that RP is not the best option. Chemistry and other intangible issues do carry weight, as does the tangible weight that RP's special talent carries (I enjoy watching him play - though he is only a nice runner he is a terrific thrower). Mr Miles is weighing those in his balance.
I think if Miles lets him stay on the team he loses a lot of credibility. I know the overwhelming majority of the LSU fans I come in contact with in Shreveport DO NOT want RP back, period. Many have said that if Miles takes him back they'd lose a lot of respect for him. And these aren't "bandwagon" LSU fans either. These are life long die hards that normally spin everything to make the purple and gold look good, be it right or wrong. There ain't no spinning on this one. A lot of LSU fans want him gone and I think that would be the fair thing to do with respect to the TEAM.
Maybe you misread, but again...I DO NOT disagree with you.
:
I wasn't including you in that number. It seems so many LSU fans are petrified of losing RP like y'alls season is going to go in the tank. When in all reality you might be better off without him.
CLM has credibility?
I guess it depends on who you talk to. I think a lot of LSU fans respect him for seemingly being a good guy and doing the right thing when it comes to principles, morals etc.
I just think the cost benefit risk on this'un ain't worth it. But it's a lot like the Auburn play at the end of the game when Flynn chunked it in the endzone to win the game. If it works you're a freakin' genius and if it doesn't you're a tool bag.
I think you are mistaken about LSU fans being petrified of losing RP. In reading all of the 9 pages of this thread, I haven't seen much justification from LSU fans for allowing him to return. I sure as hell don't want him back. I think LSU fans are trying to defend the generalization of RP as a run of the mill thug, when, in fact, all of the facts show that he is just stupid and continually makes dumb decisions. In reading these posts and on numerous LSU boards, it seems to me that most (approx. 90%) LSU fans realize that he doesn't need to come back because his repetitive stupidity makes him unreliable. What people don't like is the allegation that he is a pure and simple criminal, which is unfounded. But as I said before, you don't need to be a criminal to get kicked off the team.
Just since he has been at LSU alone, he has a criminal record a mile long, the face he is even still on the roster is nothing short of a miracle.
Really, what is that criminal record? I only know of one crime, a misdemeanor for trying to use a fake id. No other charges in his 3 years at LSU. That's a pretty short mile. I will agree that he has a stupidity record a mile long.
The only solution to this problem is this. Suspend RP for the spring, bring him back in the fall, let him throw 40 TD's and run for 20, get him the heisman, and pack him off to the NFL.:biggrin:
Of course this wouldn't solve RP's problem, and I fear the only thing that will solve his problem is being held to a higher standard, which I fear he won't be. Kicking him off might hurt both sides now, but it is also the best decision for both sides in the long term in my opinion. It is only when RP does not have the access to the life he leads now that he will regret his immaturity.

Well the fact of the matter is that he cannot keep himself out of trouble and the scary thing is that he still has 2 more years extend his stupidity record all the way to Pluto.
Problem is, will he regret his actions...........or simply regret the penalties of them? If it's the latter, he may never learn.........
