If you had asked me 4 years ago if the Gamecocks would lose to Vanderbilt 2 years in a row, I would say you’re crazy. A Steve Spurrier fall to the Comadores twice in a row? No way.
But that’s exactly waht happened last night.
The Gamecocks have looked terrible in both games this year. Sloppy QB play has really hurt them. Really, their whole offense has looked out of sync. It reminds me of watching a high school football game.
And I can’t believe the this is the best product Spurrier can field. If you look at the quality of the teams he’s fielded and his body language, I would guess that Spurrier’s heart simply isn’t in it any more. Gone are the visor throwing and headset smashing days. Now Spurrier just stands on the sidelines looking crestfallen after each Chris Smelley INT.
Unless the Gamecoks turn can get their act together and play better on offense, they’ll be below .500 on the year and Spurrier will hang it up at the end of the season. And it doesn’t get any easier with games against UGA, LSU, Florida and Clemson.
And the Gamecock fans will be wishing that they hadn’t let Skip Holtz leave with his father.

As I guessed, we’ve already got our first suitor of Ryan Perrilloux. Jacksonville State has interest in the ex-LSU Tiger.
JSU has no scholarship QB’s on the roster and their starter from last year, Cedric Johnson, was booted off the team for violating team rules. Can you see a trend with JSU here?
Perrilloux has the talent to make this team one of the better ones in the FCS, but it’ll be up to him to clean up his off-field act. If he can get his act together, he can still salvage what little college eligibility he has left.

All I can say is: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
Ryan Perilloux finally got what was coming to him. He’s been booted from the LSU football team. He’s had all sorts of off the field issues since arriving in Baton Rouge, including being suspended for spring practice this season. He finally pushed Les Miles to the limit and got the boot. Good for Les Miles. Often times, coaches in Miles’ position would be more lenient with their star players (especially QB’s), because they needed the talent on the field. So kudos to Miles for giving his starting QB the boot. You don’t need to feel too bad for Perrillox. He’ll likely have FCS teams lining up for his services and he’ll be on the field in some capacity this fall.
Really, this is probably going to benefit LSU in the long run. Perrilloux has never been a “team” kind of guy. He’s always been about himself, which was apparent when he arrived on campus as a freshman and declared that he would win 4 Heisman Trophies. Not 4 national titles (team award) but 4 Heisman’s (individual award). So LSU will benefit from no longer having his off the field issues be a distraction and they’ll get a QB who is going to be concerned with the team accomplishments, rather than his own.
So adios Ryan Perrilloux. You will not be missed.
