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

[Cincinnatibuck]

He is coming back because he has not developed enough to be a drafted as a QB in the league.

Whereas I think the kids should be able to sell their own property, weather they received it from the university or the bowl game swag, I think there does need to be a line drawn with the "[censored]ing discounts" that football players get. How soon do we go from "[censored]ing discounts" to Free Shoe University?

You limit the items that a school can give players. This puts the responsibility back on the member schools. You can't tell a kid you can't sell that jersey you own, but here's $420 from Best Buy to purchase what you want and then do whatever with that purchase that you like.

But my main point all along is that TP should just use Tressel-speak and not give anyone anything to write about. It would be best for him, the team and the school.

Do you think this applies equally to Herbie? Just curious.

Herby didn't play for Tress, so he's probably not trained in the art.

That would be kind of hard to apply that since it's Herbie's job to stir the pot, DUH!

Herbie & TP

Let me fist qualify my post - I have not read too much of this thread.

If I understand correctly, Herbie made his "addition by subtraction" comment recently, correct? If that is true, then Herbie is in the wrong here. TP and his team mates made the error two years ago when they were just freshmen (not that excuse them any). So how's that "addition by subtraction" applies since TP has made great progress since then. He even acknowledged that he was cocky back then. Give the kids a break, Herbie!

With that said, I don't bash either one of them. Herbie has his job to do, and he is trying to be unbias though he crossed my lines several times...but that is just my line, not his, and may not be your's.

On the other hand, TP would be wise not to respond anymore to these criticism as that would certainly affects his future in the NFL. I know that is very difficult when people (jerks from ESPN like Mark "I am Dis" May) constantly calling you out.

Lets take this out on the pigs tomorrow night...

Go Bucks!

Tressel was asked about Pryor's reaction to some criticism from ESPN analyst Kirk Herbstreit, when he said in New Orleans, "I don't worry about what Kirk Herbstreit says, to tell you the truth. Has he beat Michigan?"

Said Tressel: "I've always felt that sometimes those are best left unsaid, which is difficult sometimes for kids because they spend so much time hearing people's opinions of them. But I've always wanted to err on the side of sometimes keeping my thoughts."

That is a very Tressel-like answer.

Pryor's acts expose charade of college athletics

Terrelle ?The Truth? Pryor is my favorite college football player and it isn?t just the way the Ohio State quarterback can shred defenses.

Pryor is a godsend to anyone who believes the business of college athletics is little more than a smoke-and-mirror show of situational ethics, selective enforcement and tightly controlled public relations designed to dodge taxes and make millionaires out of administrators.

Perhaps no player has ever exposed the system and its handlers more clearly than Pryor leading into Tuesday?s Sugar Bowl against Arkansas. He may not have consciously planned to do what he?s doing ? although I suspect he has a clue ? but he?s become a WikiLeaks in shoulder pads; a ?30 For 30? special in real time.

Contd....

Oh great, something else for us to argue about.

I never read much into the car thing but it is fishy that that dealer has so many autographed jerseys.

Fishy? Not necessarily so. As a car dealer he probably has no problem laying out $70 or so for various jerseys. He obviously has some contact with some players. Getting them to sign the jerseys would be no big deal.

Nothing to see here.

 

[osu_edu]

Go Bucks!

None of these shenanigans should matter NOW. Let's focus on the hogs and beat them tomorrow!!!! GO BUCKEYES!!!!!!!!

:osu2:

osu.edu ROCKS!!!!

I seen the TP Sugar Bowl interview. When he did the Herbie jab to me it seamed like he was jokeing.

Ouch.

Brutal.

Not really. I'm sure players sign tons of jerseys. IF they give them away for free, it's no big deal.

What is "fishy" is that TP has been pulled over 3 times..and each time in a borrowed vehicle. So, either he just speeds and gets caught the few times he has a borrowed vehicle...or he borrows vehicles a lot more often. The latter is more believable. Or his car is always in the shop.

I'd like to see what happens if each of us goes to a car dealer and say, "Hey, man, can I test drive this car out of state...oh, let's say 200 miles away, so that I can see how it handles...and so my Mom can look at it."

Yeah.
