Ryan Perrilloux's Stripes Remain Unchanged

Apparently that old cliche about a tiger never changing his stripes remains true, even if the Tiger is now a Gamecock.

Ryan Perrilloux remains a tantalizing football talent. Unfortunately, that talent remains attached to a 10-cent brain. After finding multiple ways to blow multiple chances at Louisiana State, Perrilloux finally had to leave the Tigers. He landed at 1-AA Jacksonville State and made it through the season without incident -- much to everyone's shock.

Now comes the news that Perrilloux will miss the season opener at Georgia Tech after being suspended for the always clear, "violation of team rules." Jacksonville State coach Jack Crowe did not elaborate, but it does restore the status quo to the Perrilloux narrative.
