Get the boot on a Saturday. Enroll at a new school six days later. Attempt to play for that team in two weeks.

After getting thrown off Nebraska's football team, Quentin Castille didn't mess around, as he'll transfer to Northwestern State, a Division I-AA program, in the hopes of playing immediately for the Demons, who open their season Sept. 12 at Houston.

The head coach at Northwestern State? One of Bo Pelini's former assistants at LSU, Bradley Dale Peveto, who was the defensive coordinator for the Tigers last year.

So to recap: Bo boots Q, Q hoofs it new school, whose coach used to work for Bo.

Pinch me, Epcot. The world just got a little smaller.

(Update: We told you the world was small. That Pelini told Peveto Castille deserved a second chance says two things:

1. It was a painful dismissal for Pelini to make.

2. Castille must, to some extent, understand and/or agree with it. You don't go play for Bo's former linebackers coach, on Bo's endorsement otherwise. Not when Memphis, Purdue, Oregon and other schools might have been an option.

Credit Castille. too, for knowing he has to play this year. The kid's a restless type anyway. Sitting a year wouldn't have done him much good.
