Why we like QB's from Texas

Saw this on espn.com.  It reminded me how lucky we were to dodge the Ryan Peril-loser bullet.  He must feel like a real ass at this point.  He'll be sitting on the bench for yet another year at LSU, while two guys from his recruiting year (Daniel and McCoy) are already big time starters at their respective programs.  My favorite quote from Chase:

Later that summer, while attending the Elite 11 QB camp in California, Daniel met Perrilloux. They didn't exactly hit it off.

"I was so tired of hearing him run his mouth," Daniel says. "He was like, 'I'm the best at everything,' so I challenged him."

"Let's run a 40-[yard dash]," Daniel said to Perrilloux in front of all the other campers. "Back up your talk."
They raced and Daniel said he beat Perrilloux by two yards. The Louisiana QB said he slipped and asked for a rematch after he put his cleats on.
"Next time I beat him by a yard," Daniel said with a smile.

I think this also applies to our situation with John Brantley.  We got Chiles to run our team of the future, while Brantley will forever sit behind Tebow and Cameron Newton, guys who are more athletic and better suited to Florida's offense.

perriloux and brantley
in some ways, the brantley fiasco is more galling than what perriloux did.

brantley's whole tortured choirboy routine got annoying.

they're both drama queens.

Re: Perrilioux

The thing that struck a nerve with so many Longhorn fans is that Lyin' Ryan was "so set" on Texas, then basically rubbed it in all of Texas' face when he publicly picked LSU.

At least Brantley had the decency to be honest with the coaching staff before hand and not make a spectacle of himself.

Timing as well

Brantley gave plenty of time for UT to find someone else.  Perriloux gave UT no time to fill that scholarship.
