Significant inquiry by NCAA and OSU under way for Pryor, sources say

Apparently more car issues coming to light...

And this from 11 Warriors:

We're hearing from a pretty reliable source that Terrelle Pryor's playing days are over at Ohio State due to new allegations.

he had definately improved as a passer in his junior year, completing 65 percent of his passes at 8.6 yards per attempt with a 27-11 TD/INT ratio. It's not like he's some sort of terrible QB out there.

"The investigation of Pryor off the field is separate from Coach Jim Tressel's resignation, which was announced earlier today. Attempts to reach Pryor were unsuccessful. 

OSU officials previously said that even before Pryor arrived on campus in 2008, the NCAA examined the ownership of his vehicle and how it was paid for. "

Will Braxton Miller really be eligible if they dig into the tattoo parlor in Columbus?

 

 

Not saying the tattoo was gotten by illicit means, but after the last 6 months, you have to wonder.

I've never seen that picture before.  That is so freaking pathetic, under the circumstances.  Unbelievable, really.  And it is not done; right?  That is a tattoo that is going to get colored, and worked on some more.  Right?  It won't be be done until Miller plays in a couple of bowl games and can sell his commemorative jerseys, a helmet or two, and some shoes.

If Michigan came down with a rule of no Twitter and no Tattoos, it could not happen soon enough.

is that it's not just Pyror, but that Mike Adams, Devier Posey, and Solomon Thomas could be in some hot water too. I guess we'll find out within the next 24 hours though.

For the majority of this tatgate scandal, I thought Tressel didn't report the e-mails because he wanted to win at all costs. Most OSU fans say it's because he was protecting his players. But it's now painfully obvious to me that he didn't report the emails because he wnated to save his own hide. If this stuff about the cars is true, he knew about this long before, and knew if he reported the e-mails, that eventually the NCAA would dig down and find this car stuff as well, and he and OSU would be screwed, just like they are now. He didn't report it hoping it would disappear, but it didn't, and know OSU is royally screwed.

How we all wanted TP to come to Ann arbor? Thank god he didnt come.... Also TP is done playing. Tressel made them promise to stay at OSU trough their suspension. Now look at the scumbag he's leaving them before they can leave him.... TP's dreams of NFL are done too.

If the allegations are true, it is obvious that Pryor feels he is above the law. Especially with him coming back this year instead of beating feet to the NFL a la Reggie Bush. If he knew he was committing violations and still decided to come back with a 5 game suspension, he is just flouting his "invincibility." Hopefully he learns something from all of this.

This is infinitely better than him missing the MSU game and then becoming eligible in time for the stretch run (and us).  Either he should be eligible for all games or ineligible for all of them.

I will never forget when OSU was in a bowl game Pryor's freshman year.  OSU had an excellent senior quarterback, and Tressel benched the senior and played Pryor.  (I bet this was a promise he made in recruiting) 

They lost. 

Now Tressel goes down with Pryor.  They deserve each other.

New tweet by ESPN_bigten:

Oh dear RT @adamjardybsb: #OhioState QB Terrelle Pryor just arrived at WHAC in car that looked new with temp tags.

More on this

 

Going out on top. RT @LanternSports: Pryor arrived in WHAC in Nissan 350z with temp tags from May 24. He waved to the cameras.

Is that the mistake that is derailing Pryor's life, career, and entire future, is immortalized on his arm for posterity's sake . . .

4 years ago, I remember listening to Stoney & Wojo and they were talking about Pryor's decision coming down to us or Ohio State.  The general feeling was that he was going to choose OSU.  Then Stoney said, "I have a feeling that if he chooses the bucks, people are going to be jumping off of buildings in Ann Arbor."

Those of us who decided not to jump are pretty damn thankful now.

THe irony is SO thick. Love the fact that those two slimeballs are going out together.

Best part is, Pryor probably isn't even good enough to play in the NFL. Good BYE! Love to see some of his team mates go with!
