TP has been a hard worker in the classroom and obviously in practice/games. I think his work ethic will earn him a fair chance at QB out there in the Bay Area. I don't know if it's my love for Ohio State, my appreciation for elite athletic ability, or my disdain for the way he was treated by the media during and after his time at Ohio State, but something about his situation has me emotionally invested in his career. I might even buy a TP jersey. I would just love for him give the media a big F U with quarterback success.

I feel a bit for him too. I understand that he made some pretty silly mistakes (granted, none were as foolish as the mistakes that I made in college, but no one gave a crap because I'm a zero talent dude) but TP paid a pretty steep price as well. I also can't help but feel that he might be swallowing some things that might put tOSU in an even more difficult light...and if that's true, he's a MAN for doing that, especially with all the talking heads constantly hammering him.

In the end, like many young people, TP had some growing up to do. This process is made more difficult when you are so gifted and everyone tells you as much. I can only hope that the past few months have opened his eyes a bit and that he's taken some of this to heart. TP wasn't perfect, but as the last few posters have noted, the guy WORKS HARD. His ego might have been big, but I'd assume that this is about to change considering his new circumstances. I hope that this change, coupled with his physical skills and desire to win, will result in him having an extended NFL career. Like any other rookie, he's going to have to put in some serious time to improve, and in TPs case, he still has mechanics that need improvement. Not impossible, but definitely a significant challenge. (Ask Tim Tebow...another hard worker) I hope TP is up to that challenge.

Yeah that was the point I was trying to make. I'll [censored]ing shake the hand of anyone who got through college in 3 1/2 years. [censored] half my friends didn't pick majors until their 3rd year.

My wife did that at osu. Got her Bachelors in Business. Took full loads of classes year round. She's what I like to call a "hot nerd."


What was TP's major?

I feel the same way although for me personally, it has more to do with the double standards TP faced. Seriously, nothing the kid did was ever good enough for anyone, including Buckeye Nation. If the kid through for 200 yards in a game people would ask "Well why didn't he throw for 300?" The thing that really pisses me off is Pryor being made the scapegoat for this entire fiasco. Boom, Posey, and the others will probably be greeted with cheers while Pryor will probably be met with boos whenever he decides to step foot in Ohio State despite not being any more guilty than the other four. Pryor is in no way innocent but the way he was, and continues to be treated by Buckeye Nation, is deplorable and has lowered my opinion of our fanbase by quite a few notches.

Let's let things cool down and have him back on campus when he's able to return before we pass judgement. I personally think all will be fine.
