http://www.sunherald.com/sports/colleges/story/561739.html 5/15/08 Southern Miss, fresh off a 16-5 loss at South Alabama, got some good news Wednesday morning - its dream of hosting an NCAA Regional is still alive. The Golden Eagles, who entered the game with a No. 13 RPI, only dropped two slots to No. 15 heading into today's first game of a Conference USA series at Alabama-Birmingham. UAB has a RPI of 171. That means a Hattiesburg Regional is still a strong possibility, considering the NCAA Tournament has 16 host sites across the nation in two weeks. SunHerald.com posted 5/15/08

Numerous players worked at the minicamp on a tryout basis, without contract, in addition to the Saints' six draft picks and a host of signed undrafted rookies. Two of the new players are rookies, two more are street free agents. LSU OL Carnell Stewart is from John Curtis high school and was raised in River Ridge, Louisiana. A bookend right tackle for the national champion Tigers. He played only two years of offense at tackle, starting as a senior, and spent the first three years of his college career at defensive tackle. Stewart, 6'5, 290 pounds, originally signed with the Giants after the draft but failed his physical and was cut. The other rookie is Troy DT Marcus Pittman, 22, 6'4, 285 pounds, was a part-time starter and a juco transfer. NewOrleansFootball.com posted 5/15/08

http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=3396155 Troubled ex-LSU quarterback Ryan Perrilloux may have found a place where he can get the playing time he craves. Perrilloux has transferred to Jacksonville State, where he will have the inside track for the starting quarterback job next season. Perrilloux was dismissed from LSU earlier this month after repeated off-the-field problems. The Gamecocks do not have a scholarship quarterback on their roster and since Perrilloux is transferring to a Football Championship Subdivision team, he won't have to sit out next season. He has two years of eligibility remaining. "Basically, I just see this as a second opportunity to be successful," Perrilloux told The Birmingham News. ESPN.com Posted 5/15/08
