that is great and all, but is that supposed to be a good thing? do two wrongs make a right (i know that three lefts make a right). i find no courage/reason that tressel should step out on a limb for a guying who allegedly is fighting to save his law license for other indiscretions. nothing is "honorable" about that at all. just like if someone shows up to my company drunk/under the influence all employees have an affirmative duty to inform a superior. furthermore, if someone is stilling from my company and another is aware of it and enables such activity or worse aids/abets/conspires/etc with that person, pink slip.

their are a lot of "hard lessons" in life. but honesty and doing the right thing, in the face of punishment is the lesson he should have taught, not how to cover up, make excuse, preaching to the choir and what not... nothing to be proud of at all, imo. that being said a few bad choices dont make anyone a bad person. but it takes thousands of actions and deeds to build a reputation, and one to destroy that reputation...

I can't find a single thing I disagree with in these two paragraphs, except for the lack of capitals to start sentences. :)

Media Tweet- Pryor has ended his Ohio State career. Doug Lesmerises

just saw that... interesting

if it ends up being true, I honestly don't know how I'll feel about his career here at OSU, I mean on one hand you can't ignore the things he did on the field, one of the most ridiculous athletes we had at QB in a long time (in my humble opinion) and won us many games with his feet (and sometimes his arm) but on the other hand, the guy seemed to be a mess off the field (this isn't meant as a bash) didn't always say the smartest things on the mic, and of course all of this mess we're in now (not putting all of the blame on him)

It would be a shame if true IMO. Essentially chased out of town by a bunch of too-quick-to-judge-without-knowing-the-facts "fans" who need to learn when to shut their pie-holes.

The degree to which venom has been directed at Terrelle Pryor is more befitting an axe-murderer than a somewhat self-absorbed young athlete who has made some poor, but not (so far as we know) illegal, choices.

Dispatch: http://www.dispatch.com/live/content/sports/stories/2011/06/07/pryor-skips-senior-year-ohio-state.html

Beleaguered Ohio State quarterback Terrelle Pryor has played his last game for the Buckeyes, his attorney told The Dispatch.
"In the best interest of my teammates, I have made the decision to forego my senior year of football at The Ohio State University," Pryor said in a prepared statement read by his attorney Larry James.
Asked whether Pryor -- under investigation by the NCAA and Ohio State for possible more instances of receiving improper benefits -- planned to apply for the NFL supplemental draft, James said "I think so.
"But right now we are just dealing with the situation at hand, that he has decided to move on."

Pryor is not leaving because of fans or bad publicity.
