For those of you not familiar with him, Chase Daniel is the starting QB at Missouri. He is a tough white kid from Southlake and played at famous Southlake Carroll High.
Daniel wanted to play at the University of Texas but Texas opted to offer a scholarship to black Louisiana QB Ryan Perrilloux. On signing day, Perrilloux left UT holding the bag and signed with LSU. Texas offered Daniel, but having long ago committed to Missouri, he stuck to his guns and went to Columbia.
Here's the link to an article about Chase, who talks about meeting up with Perrilloux and putting the punk in his place:

From the piece:
Daniel and buddy Colt McCoy attended a summer camp in Austin, but UT offensive coordinator Greg Davis told Daniel the Longhorns were more interested in Louisiana hotshot Ryan Perrilloux. Daniel decided to commit to Missouri, the first school that offered him.
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 love this kid.
