Pearl has been out of the coaching scene for almost three years, serving out a show-cause penalty for lying to the NCAA and just generally being a douchebag. He&#8217;ll be able to particpate in recruit evaluations in July, but won&#8217;t be able to talk to recruits until the penalty is up in August.

It will be called Parish Grocery and will offer Cajun and Creole cuisine.

Three of my friends went last night, and from the pics I saw it looks like they had a good time. According to Local&#8217;s Facebook page, the crawfish are $8.99 a pound. Along with the crawfish on Mondays, they have $15 domestic buckets and $25 96 oz. Table Taps.<\/p>\n<p>Tip-off time for the Tigers game vs. George Washington is Friday at 5:55.
