"What do you think about the eye-black rule"

TP: Ahh, I think that was because of me...

Come to think of it, the only "controversy" (and I use that term loosely) about eye black last year was TP's Mike Vick stuff...I totally forgot about that, but you have to look at the timing when it comes to Tebow and his departure to the NFL (sorta)...

I love TP's ability to carry himself...he's not necessarily an eloquent speaker, but with few exeptions he's usually very well spoken. He sounds a lot more intelligent than: [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HXde0IG54iI"]a lot of football players[/ame]

pryor's thing was a 1 week story. Tebow's eye black - who tp copied - was a multi-year controversy, especially late last year.

the whole reason there was a big hullabaloo was because of tp very poor choice of words.

He seems to be maturing in that area.

I didn't know there was any controversy surrounding Tebow's scripture references.

Was somebody against it? Did someone say it was causing a problem? I must have missed that amidst the swooning...

I also didn't know that Tebow's eye black was TP's inspiration for the Mike Vick eye black. I just figured that since it was something players have been doing for years, TP decided to, as he said, "make a statement"...and in regards to TP's statements about Mike Vick...everyone knew what he meant, but of course when you get a sound byte like that you gotta run with it...I don't even count that one against him, he was chatting about a very controversial subject...it's always difficult to be entirely precise in those extemporaneous types of interviews...

Plenty of people were very annoyed by Tebow's eye black.

I don't think they would have been if he weren't so out-spoken in the first place, but still.

I have to admit that it bothered me a lot that this thread had more posts in it before TP committed than the Beanie Wells thread did while he played here. I've gotten over it but sometimes we need to appreciate what we have at the time a little bit more. :osu:

Progress report
Pryor continues evolution as QB by mastering nuances of position

Pryor's strength is an added attribute that makes him a threat to run at quarterback.
&bnsp;

As Ohio State quarterback Terrelle Pryor enters his junior year, some of his improvement is easy to see. He has calmed his feet and smoothed his throwing motion, no longer prone to hitches and hesitation.

But much of the improvement is more subtle.

It's clear to the receivers, who now are more often catching Pryor's passes in rhythm and in the proper spot.

It's clear to the defensive players, who notice Pryor making checks at the line, mixing up snap counts and keeping them off balance.

The effect is like watching a gangly, awkward teenager finally grow into his body.

"It's all about decision-making," Pryor said yesterday. "I make a lot better decisions and the game has slowed down - like, really slowed down. When you first get here, you're kind of thinking, 'Is this ever going to slow down for me? Is this ever going to be easy, like high school?' But it finally slowed for me."

Pryor wore a brace on his left knee yesterday, about 10 weeks after having arthroscopic surgery to repair a partially torn ligament. He said it was just precautionary.

"I just want to keep (the brace) on to make sure it's even more stabilized," Pryor said. "It's 100 percent by far. It feels great. I'm faster than I think I've ever been; I feel so much better."

Pryor blocking out Heisman
Associated Press

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Already the buzz has started about Terrelle Pryor winning the Heisman.

Like a kid putting his hands over his ears to block something he doesn't want to hear, the Ohio State quarterback is ignoring idle talk and focusing on his team.

"You can't think about the Heisman," he said after Ohio State's spring workout Friday. "It's a team thing. I believe if you lead your team and if that will come to the conclusion that I would win, then that's what it is. I believe that in my heart I owe that to my teammates and the fans before thinking about myself."

Despite growing pains, Pryor looks like a QB

APOhio State University quarterback Terrelle Pryor.Columbus -- Terrelle Pryor should understand what former Florida quarterback Tim Tebow has gone through while preparing for next week's NFL Draft -- changing his throwing motion, fine-tuning his footwork, adjusting to taking snaps under center and not just from the shotgun.

Pryor says he caused eye-black rule change
Saturday, April 17, 2010
By Tim May

THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH
Some are calling it the 'Tim Tebow rule,' an NCAA decision to ban messages on eye-black patches worn by players. Ohio State's Terrelle Pryor had another opinion.

'I think that's because of me,' he said after practice yesterday.

Pryor wore Mika and Vick on his strips during a season-opening win over Navy last year. The Mika was to honor his sister, he said, and the Vick was to honor quarterback Michael Vick, who returned to the NFL last year after serving a prison term for running a dogfighting ring. Pryor's postgame explanation that day didn't go over well.

"I'm a big Mike Vick fan, and I felt like that's what needed to be done," Pryor reiterated yesterday. But, "if I had to do it again, obviously I wouldn't."

Tebow's habit was writing a Bible verse on his strips. That, too, will be outlawed by a rule that, in essence, will allow nothing more than school logos.

"That's the NCAA's rule. I can't mess with that," Pryor said. "But I think a little bit, just a touch, I think that's taking away from the game. Maybe I wouldn't do that (Vick thing) again, that's a learning experience. But I think it's taking away from the fun of the game.

"We're sending messages to people outside, and what Tebow was doing, he was sending a message from God - I think that's very important. I just think (the rule) is taking away from the game. I think it's another thing we've got to worry about."

Tebow's eye black never bothered me. TP's Vick support was much more over the top and immature.
So, I think it was more the Mike Vick thang that was controversial. And we are talking about kids, here.
So the NCAA was probably correct in it's action.
