Is Perrilloux considering Grambling?
By Nick Deriso
[email protected]

An intermediary has reportedly contacted Grambling State to gauge interest in a possible transfer by Ryan Perrilloux. But the LSU quarterback has not directly spoken with GSU coaches.

A dual-threat out of Reserve, the five-star Scout.com recruit signed with LSU last season but redshirted and doesn't look to find regular playing time behind Matt Flynn and JaMarcus Russell - leading to speculation that he might leave Baton Rouge.

Very interested to see what turns out from this...

Perrilloux has not had a chance to prove himself just yet because of the backup at QB for LSU. Was he wrong in chosing LSU over Texas? That's something that makes you think, especially since he may have been able to take the job after Vince Young left.

Keep us informed! Nick Deriso all over it! :)

LSU's Perrilloux staying put

By SCOTT RABALAIS

Published: May 23, 2006

A broadcast report LSU quarterback Ryan Perrilloux was considering a transfer was quickly refuted Tuesday night by his mother, his high school coach — and Perrilloux himself.

WAFB reported in its 6 p.m. newscast Perrilloux was contacting schools with the intent to transfer from LSU, where he redshirted last year and still ranks No. 3 on the Tigers quarterback depth chart behind juniors JaMarcus Russell and Matt Flynn.

While Perrilloux’s mother said her son didn’t like sitting on the bench, she, Ryan and his high school coach, Larry Dauterive of East St. John, all said he is happy at LSU.

“This the first I’ve heard of it,” Perrilloux said of the report in a statement through LSU sports information director Michael Bonnette. “There’s no truth to it. I’m happy here and I don’t plan on going anywhere. I’m excited about working out this summer and getting ready to compete in the fall.”

The WAFB report quoted Grambling coach Melvin Spears as saying there had been contact on Perrilloux’s behalf with the program there

[SUjagTILLiDIE]

Rated the nation’s No. 1 prep football prospect last year by ESPN, Perrilloux racked up a Louisiana high school record 5,006 yards total offense his senior year (3,546 yards passing, 1,460 rushing) and 67 touchdowns. In his high school career, Perrilloux threw for 9,025 yards and 84 touchdowns and rushed for 3,680 yards and 71 TDs.

Perrilloux is a beast. He can run like Vince and throw like Bruce. The only problem he is sitting behind an NFL QB(Russell).

[kats89]

Should have stuck with his initial commitment to Texas. He would be the starter this year.

Pete Rozelle said it once and the Grambling faithful continue calling themselves the 'ICON'...xcoffeex

Actually, we were using that term waaay before Tagliabue (not Rozelle) said that at one of our recent football banquets. It's a term that was started ( I think) GSUperTiger, an ICON graduate. It originated on the SMACK Board and grew from there.

There's no wanna be about it... we are a legit ICON. Some folk have such an inferiority complex that they get their thongs in a bunch over the simplest of things.

I'm guessing the Grambling folks think they are an "important and enduring symbol" because I do not believe they meet any other of the below though there may be Grambling computer icons out there??

That won't happen. We NEVER get that type of tranfer. I know the kid is talented, but I also know he likes to run his mouth. Someday he will get his chance to prove himself on the field (and it will probably be at LSU)

My reference was to the way he was running his mouth before he even got to LSU on how great he was going to be when all the attention was on him. He is still an unproven player at the college level but I doubt the hype was BS so I am sure when he gets the chance, he will probably do well with the right attitiude.

I agree with the previous posters that he would have been better at Texas as it turns out but he had no way of knowing that Young was going to come out this year.

Hopefully he will get his chance (just hopefully not in the SLC)

I think he's at LSU at least one more year...depending on what happens this season, he may or may not transfer. If he stays put at LSU, I just hope he has more succes in big-time, rivalry games than he did in HS. He NEVER beat my alma mater (although he did run his mouth to the New Orleans media that he was going to in his final game and end our 30+ game home winning streak). But I do give him props for admitting that he was just flat out beaten and our team was better AFTER East St. John lost. I would have thought he learned a lesson in humility that night....I guess not though.

Eh, they just love their school. I wish Nicholls had more fans and Alumni as loyal as Grambling does. Hell, they have thousands of loyal fans that never stepped foot on the campus!

I don't think it's any worse than people saying THE Ohio State University.

Definitions 1, 2, and 3 are the quintessential testament of Icon Grambling. Grambling is an image, a representation cherished by millions worldwide, which have been chronicled via awe-inspiring documentaries since the Icon's inception. Grambling is an important and enduring symbol of Greatness evidenced by the Icon's four faces in Canton, OH (only 10 programs in the entire NCAA - spanning all divisions have more HOFs; Gram has achieved these feats with far fewer resources). Everson Walls, Albert Lewis, and Tank Younger are shoe ins (as futire Canton inductees) and will propel Gram to the top 5. Grambling is an object of great attention and devotion as demonstated by journalistic icon Howard Cosell's award-winning feature, 100 Yards to Glory, President Clinton's commencement address (the President speaks at a private, public, and service academy annually; Gram was chosen as the public school), and NFL commissioner Tagliabue's guest speaking appearance at annual football banquet. The aforementioned Iconic feats are typical and accustomed at Grambling. Some may never understand.

We are Grambling -- one of the few Icons of all time!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the statement was that the University itself isn't an ICON. I THINK that's what he was saying. As for Eddie Robinson, I would HOPE that everyone on this board realizes his impact on football. Hell I admire him for staying at one school for that long! More coaches need to have a love for their institutions like Coach Robinson does.

Ralph it wasn't smack...it was folk taking exception to our ICON reference. Apparently Perriloux or someone associated with him thinks highly enuff of Grambling to make contact...Strange he didn't consider a D1AA playoff participant. Maybe he's always had a desire to play in the largest home and home matchup in La.

What's the largest home and home matchup in Louisiana? Couldn't be Southern vs Grambling because they play in the Superdome yearly at a neutral venue...

Grambling planning a home-and-home with Northwestern St or McNeese? Is ULM drawing well against ULL? :confused:

Congrats on the catch...your close scrunity (or is that obsession) is well noted. Let me be more accurate. It is the largest in-state game in Louisiana.

When you play somewhere for 30 straight years it is home.

Just trying to clear up the misinformation...:nono:


When you play somewhere for 30 straight years it is home.

For which squad? Grambling or Southern? Home-and-home is defined as playing at one team's home one year/season and then playing at the other team's home one year/season...is the Superdome the home of Grambling or Southern?

is the Superdome the home of THE ICON Grambling or Southern?

The Superdome is actually SU's second home. Check it, its on the books.:D

[JohnStOnge]

I think that the only way he transfers to a I-AA is if he goes through 2006 and 2007 without seeing hope of being a starter at LSU. If he decides after 2006 to transfer I think he's going to look at other big time schools, sit 2007 out, and have two years of eligibility at the I-A level left.

Ralph it wasn't smack...it was folk taking exception to our ICON reference...There's plenty of smack and plenty of ICON etc. homerism. Can't we just discuss stuff without the puffy-chested homerism and smack that goes with it?

[mikebigg]

There's plenty of smack and plenty of ICON etc. homerism. Can't we just discuss stuff without the puffy-chested homerism and smack that goes with it?

Are you saying we shouldn't refer to our team as the ICON? Does your alumni have a nickname for your team? What's the big deal if we decide to consider ourselves an ICON.

[*****]

It's the homerism mikebigg, you know exactly what I'm saying. Not every discussion has to start out with "we're the best" you know? I don't know who first said "act like you've been there" but the constant reminders of SUperiority are not needed and detract from the message. This is not aimed at you but anybody that is reading. Your school is respected because it fields a football team at the D-I level. On the Discussion Board there is no need to brag or demean other teams. Reasoned discussion is enough.

BTW, DePaul never had a football team so I have no dog in the "my team is better" fight. :(

Sorry Ralph, but I have to disagree. Not trying to be stubborn, but we refer to our school as The ICON...plain and simple. It's not done to belittle anyone else... I honestly don't understand what all the fuss is about over a nickname that alumni decide to give their school.
