After days of internet speculation, The Advocate reports that LSU back-up quarterback and uber recruit Ryan Perrilloux is under federal investigation. Texas fans can be heard giggling from Austin. I've heard all sorts of things about the investigation, identity theft, credit card manipulation, and even counterfeiting (which now makes more sense since the feds are involved). If it is counterfeiting, then Perrilloux is simply upholding LSU tradition. The story quotes Perrilloux's lawyer as confirming the investigation, which isn't a good sign. If you have a lawyer as a college student, things aren't going well.

Orson already has LSU as a Fulmer Cup favorite. And the Valley Shook is taking the news in stride.

If Perrilloux is headed for the pokey, the news couldn't have come at a worse time. JaMarcus Russell rightly decided that he will take the state of the art missile system attached to his right shoulder to the NFL. This leaves Peach Bowl hero Matt Flynn, Perrilloux, and incoming freshman Jarrett Lee as LSU's quarterbacks.
