Before the start of last season, I argued that Ryan Perrilloux was nothing but trouble.I realize that this kid was seen as something of a catch when he was signed, but he really is nothing but trouble. No matter where he is on the depth chart, he's already causing a headache and the season hasn't even gotten started yet. Miles should just cut the kid loose. He hasn't learned his lessonI was chastised by the commenters, though, for trying to keep a black man down, and admonished to "wait and see" (because two different fake-ID incidents isn't enough).
But after all of the trouble lately, and all of the extra chances, he's still just running around, acting like a thug.
A server at Kona Grill in Perkins Rowe told The Daily Reveille late Tuesday night that Perrilloux arrived at the restaurant 30 minutes after it closed Friday.Um, yeah. Class act, that Perrilloux. That Miles has allowed Perrilloux to stay on the roster says something about him. Are there any fans (LSU or otherwise) left defending this now?
Perrilloux entered the bar and attempted to order drinks. After he was denied service, Perrilloux began to curse and use racial slurs, the server said.
A Kona Grill manager approached Perrilloux, who then cursed the manager. The server said Perrilloux was asked to leave. And the police were called to the restaurant, but Perrilloux had left by the time any officers arrived.
The server said LSU coach Les Miles called the restaurant Saturday to apologize for Perrilloux.

Update: Commenter 'rd' passed along a link to a Baton Rouge talk radio website which claims that the Kona Grill manager is now denying that anything happened and directing people to the corporate PR department. It's not a very convincing story, at least not yet.

1. Not that we here at South Carolina can talk, but it seems pretty clear at this point that Miles will not dump Perrilloux until he is on tape committing a heinous felony.

2. RP is no saint, but this story turned out to have no truth to it:

3. Just another player who goes to college with an attitude that says "I am Superman and I go where I please." Coach Miles isn't going to rid of Ryan unless Ryan does something really dumb.

5. RP is finally gone and while LSU will miss his talents... we won't miss his foolishness. No player is worth it. I'm glad the Hat finally sees that.
