2 Balls - 7 Strikes

The balls in question belong to Les Miles. All of the talk in the press and many of the questionable calls during games would lead one to believe that they were made of stainless steel and were the size of cantaloupes. Up to this point however, when it's come to Perriloux, Les' nuggets have been the size of BB's. I'd be willing to bet that Stafford received a bigger lecture over the kegger in Talledega then Perriloux got for any of his transgressions. Congrats go out to Les for finding the stones to finally say "enough is enough".

I knew you had it in ya

7 Strikes?.....Counterfeiting, fake id's, underage drankin, barfights, skippin class, missing team meetings, smoking tha sticky stuff (how many times?), and those are the ones that we know about. Some people just don't get it. The kid has never actually been convicted of any crime, so I'm not going to classify him as a thug. Most of his offenses reek of being an immature party hound. Most party hounds aren't pissin away millions though.

Nad transfer........FAILED......Please try again

Perriloux will end up playin 1-AA ( where there's a little less scrutiny). He more than likely will not change his actions. History is a great teacher.

Will an NFL team take a flyer on him in the late rounds in the 2010 draft?.....Probably (my crystal ball says Dallas). Possible roomie......Pacman Jones

Will he succeed at the next level?.......NFL coaches and players won't tolerate his actions, so I'm going with "NO".

LSU may suffer a little on offense as a result of Perrioux getting the boot. The threat of the QB breaking contain always causes defenses problems and that threat is gone. It's not a death sentence to LSU as some people are predicting. There's several very good teams out there that don't have mobile QB's.

I didn't think that LSU had the pieces in place to repeat last year's success, with or without Perriloux. In the long run.....no, forget that....right NOW, LSU is better off getting rid of that cancer and moving on.

Timing is everything

UGA doesn't have a MNC to show for their efforts during the Richt era. Going into the '08 season as one of the contenders is reason for hope, but there are alot of factors that must go our way just to make it to the dance.

Consider this list of SEC champions and their records for the season in this decade

1. 2000 Florida 10-3
2. 2001 LSU 10-3
3. 2002 UGA 13-1
4. 2003 LSU 13-1 MNC
5. 2004 Auburn 13-0
6. 2005 UGA 10-3
7. 2006 Florida 13-1 MNC
8. 2007 LSU 12-2 MNC

Three MNC's for the SEC this decade for arguably the best conference in cfb, but it also shows that having a great season doesn't necessarily guarantee you a shot at the crystal ball. Hell, winning 'em all doesn't even guarantee it.
