Shunning Wings: Terrelle Pryor

I realize he would be pretty unstoppable if he would have chosen Michigan and been put in Rich Rod's system, but I am truly glad we didn't get him just because of his character.  We pride ourselves on being a step above other schools, judging not only talent and grades, but character as well.  When comparing Denard to TP, there truly is no comparison...one is humble and attributes his teammates as much as he can, and one constantly finds his foot in his mouth with his ramblings.  Denard represents Michigan football how it is supposed to be represented.

I'd like to know more about this travel bag.

Just before the Big Chill, amidst the crush of folks walking south on Hoover and near the northeast gate, I caught a glimpse of Denard riding on the back of a golf cart - apparently rushing into the stadium for his intro.  The crowd parted and people were yelling "Shoelace!" He was smiling from ear-to-ear and high-fiving everyone in sight.  Likewise, everyone in sight were high-fiving each other at what they just saw.   No shit - right then, I was so glad Pryor went to tOSU.

I am also happy he chose to go elsewhere.  I think he's just another media whore and I'd be really surprised if he's able to play for an NFL team for more than a few seasons.  He just doesn't impress me with his skills nor his decsion-making.

Also, it's "for all intents and purposes".

If Pryor had done at Michigan what he is doing at OSU, Michigan would be slapped with major violations, lack of institutional control, and RR would have already been fired. 

for postin that pic. it said SECRET

I seriously just pissed myself a little (although that might be partially du to the Bell's Snowberons, the Milwaukee's best Ice (with a neighbor), and the Short's Freedom of 78 brews that I drank).  Bravo!  I must change my pants now (don't feel bad, it was bound to happen tonight sooner or later).

U SAY tyrell is bad person  but do U kno him? i have met tyrelle let me tell U he has best taste in man clothing vary nice tuxedo look have goin on. now I want you to think back when U were young guy what did U care about well most I am sure U care about thing like pointy tit and having nice time with ladie but U cannot say he have NO pasion for game of gird iron can you. NO! tyrelle just tryin to do following three thing first work hard two have pasion for winnin and becoming best so amybe U should not talk about thing which U  xperience knowing about. truth is complicate U do not take truth for granite.  i remember when i was buck eye that i use to hanfg out with joe germane and mike varabal and we would do thing like drink many washington apple and have play game with many wimmen called night of round table.

"intents and purposes" not "intensive purposes." I used to make the same mistake.

also, not doggy dog world, but dog eat dog world, said nit picky guy.

TP will not get to play against Toledo, Akron and Colorado.  Miami may be their toughest game.

Who knows may be TP replacement will play well enough to keep him on the bench.

I just want to beat them at home next season!

That guy is the poster child for "plausible deniability." He really should go into politics."

As a former history major, I like the idea. I'm especially looking forward to you analysis of Marcus Lattimore. Does he qualify for a review?

As long as we beat OSU next year, Pryor can be used as a punch line for years and years to come.  Here is the most-hyped player in history getting suspended for the first five games of a senior season he grudgingly came back for to be better prepared for the draft.  Add to that the fact that he shunned RR in his first year to play for OSU.  I can't wait to see how he does in the NFL with that attitude problem of his.

Of course, if M loses again, it'll be a lot harder to make fun of Pryor because then we'll be 0-4 against him.

For the way he carries himself off the field I am glad he didn't choose UM.  But I do wonder where the program would be at this stage had he been behind center the past three years instead of two years of freshmen and then Denard. 

But I want to make one other point (that my brother pointed out).  Everyone immediately jumps to the "Tressel ball" statement when talking about Pryor's mediocre statistics thus far in his career.  But Troy Smith won a Heisman in this same offense as an athletic QB.  How much of Pryor's mediocre performance thus far is on Tressel and how much is on Pryor? 

No surprised Herbie is hammering TP, and I can tell you the Buckeye alumni will not be happy about these guys selling BT championship rings and especially the Gold Pants...

I have lived in Columbus since graduating from UM in 1990, and my neighbor is a 4 year starter at tackle...  The gold pants are their most coveted award, and it is egregious for these guys to sell them.

I can't think of any parallel in the UM world, but it seems to be a major disconnect between these current buckeyes and thier history and tradition.

Time to turn the tables...  We are done losing to tOSU every year...

Go Blue!
