Hard Talkin' LSU coach Les Miles sure laid down the law in May when he suspended one time 5 Star QB recruit/ Current Backup QB Ryan Perrilloux. It seems that Perrilloux, the Louisiana Prep Folk Hero that switched from an oral commitment to Texas just as Miles was coming to Baton Rouge had run afoul of the law by trying to enter a casino underage, using his brother's i.d.--technically, 2 violations of the law, but in reality, nothing too crazy. The problem was that it followed up a counterfeiting investigation by the Feds and rumors that the once omnipotent Perrilloux was having trouble hitting his targets with his howitzer arm.
So, with the Tigers' Quarterback job safely in the hands of Sr. Matt Flynn, Miles told Perrilloux to take basically the summer off. Yes, he gave him some things to work on- community service, stay out of the casinos, etc-- but in the end, Miles' discipline ended up being suspended for the period after spring practices until the day before fall pre-season 2-a-days begin.
Yes, you're reading that right-- Miles put his foot down and made sure that he didn't miss any mandatory school time, or more importantly, any practices to shore up the LSU QB Depth or by any means, GAMES. All Perrilloux missed were summer voluntary practices (yet, if coaches can't monitor them, how do they really know if Perrilloux stayed away?) and the endless stretch of time known as the Major League Baseball Season.
Miles essentially threatened to put Perrilloux to bed without his dinner, only to take him to the all-you-can-eat ice cream parlor. Way to stick it to 'em, Les.
