QB/WR Terrelle Pryor ('10 Rose, '11 Sugar MVP)

[FritoBandito]

There's no way a guy who misses 5 games due to an NCAA suspension is going to win any major awards, Heisman or otherwise. It doesn't matter how good he might look in 7 games, there will be plenty of other guys with way, way better stats -- and with no ethical taint.

Similarly, even if tOSU runs the table and wins the BigTen outright, they won't play for the national championship. Poll voters will be ridiculously hard on tOSU in 2011 and the strength of the BigTen schedule will be rated as much weaker than it really is. 2011 will be a miserable, mournful year for Buckeye fans.

Thanks for everything, Terrelle.

Just reading a couple of your posts, seems to me every motherfuckin' year is a mournful, miserable year for you.

Get a grip. You sound like a whiny little [Mark May].

That part is definitely not true.

Really? And here I thought Auburn played for the title this past year under the cloud of major NCAA wrong-doing by their star player. I must have dreamt that or something.

I've heard some talking heads say that the suspensions would actually allow tOSU to have an early loss and still make the title game, since the team at the end of the year wouldn't be the same team that lost early in the year, and voters would be more likely to allow such a 1-loss team make the BCS Title Game.

But I'd prefer to see the team go 5-0, rather than test that theory.

I'm still disappointed that Cam won the Heisman.

He certainly deserved it for his on-the-field play, and it's hard to justify not giving it to him if he was genuinely innocent of any wrongdoing.

Still, I wouldn't have voted for him. When there are so many horse turds lying around, there has to be a pony somewhere.

The Pittsburgh Steelers overcame the loss of their star QB for their first few games and did so with stellar defense. OSU has a similar style of play and I think they can do the same. Pryor should be working out just that much harder everyday to overcome such shortcomings.

Real good point...

Never a great idea to me to compare NFL teams with NCAA teams, especially those that aren't expected to have a superstar draft class.

I said this on BP from the time the suspensions came down. Maybe they should put me on TV . And it's true.

But going 5-0 is clearly the preferred route.

When I said talking heads, I didn't say they were on TV. I might've been thinking of a purple thing hanging from some rails.

What?? what does that have to do with anything?

Talent on the field.

I would never compare the ability of a collegiate football team to bounce back from losing their starting QB to an NFL team in the same scenario. I would ESPECIALLY never compare the two when the level of NFL talent on that collegiate team isn't exceptionally high.

Think what you want. I think we have plenty...
