Terrelle Pryor

[WingsZR2 1]

National signing day has long since passed and we still don’t know where he’s going to go. Well that should all be an afterthought by the end of the week. Per Rivals and every other sports outlet he has narrowed his decision down to 2. It appears at this point that Penn State and Oregon are out so it’s down to Michigan and Ohio State. A friend of mine at Rivals seems to think that it’s bad news for the Buckeyes given the time that has passed since NSD. As a Michigan fan I really hope that is true, given our lack of a QB that can run RR’s system to its fullest. If Pryor ends up in AA if would be a huge win for Michigan and RR, all while giving it to Ohio State a big FU. Nothing would hurt more if he did ended up in that cesspool called Columbus.

Choose Michigan Terrelle

U of M puts QB’s in the NFL and our coach runs the offense that best suits your skills

He will be a Buckeye. I'm not going to lie after hearing the stories about him fighting with fans at 2 basketball games, and driving around a Corvette I really think there are better fish in the sea for U-M. I know everyone wants the running QB right off the bat, but if a kid doesn't have his head on straight (Ryan Mallett) you might as well wait.

If he comes I will be excited, but have many concerns about what kind of person he his.

I know he is suppose to be some kind of stud. I think that he is going to end up being a big time bust. I feel like he is and will continue to get to much attention by the media. He is going to be torn down for every little thing he does up to the first time he steps foot on the field were ever he ends up. He is going to need to be a very strong person mentally to put up with all of it. I don't feel like he is going to be able to handle it all.

[mannysBETTER3434 1]

As of one minute ago TP is officially a Buckeye. He's in a tough spot. Every U-M/PSU will hate him for the next 4 years, plus all the people that got pissed at him for dragging it out this long.

The best part is when he said "I'm going to the University of Ohio State" LOL

I am by no means a Michigan fan, but Ohio State has plenty of issues of their own you should be more concerned about. Like for instance, playing a weak schedule every season and somehow getting into the National Championship Game where they are exposed by real teams, not run-of-the-mill Big Ten football programs. Ohio State is never challenged until they get to the real deal. That's what happens when you play Kent State and Akron as non-conference opponents.

He had months to prepare, I hope the University of Ohio State takes good care of him. I know a certain defense is going to try kill him every November.

you are right that ohio state had a weak schedule this year. but if you did you homework you would see that next couple years they play usc, then miami, va tech, cincy, oklahoma, and they are trying to still get tenn down the road. that's a team from every almost every BCS conf. they also tried to throw ND in there but it never worked out. i am happy with that because i am sick and tired of watchin OSU embarass ND. bash ohio state all you want but when was the last time any big time program went out of conf. and played an team that caliber. not very many. for their conf. schedule that is out of ohio state's hands. does tress have to start recruiting for michigan, iowa, penn st, illinois, etc!! it's simple OSU has recruited well, they win the games they should, and they have a good coach. let me guess you are going to throw back to back national championship losses in there too. well let's just say the last 2 years there have been 117 DI colleges that wished they could have a little taste of success ohio state has had. i am willing to bet that in one of those years your team was in that category.

Who couldn't point out the back to back losses in the NC games? So by your own admission they win the games they should, so why didn't they win a NC the last two years? They were out played in every aspect of the game in the loss to Florida and they didn't show any type of killer instinct against LSU.

I live in SEC country and have to defend the Big 11 all the time, thankfully Michigan was able to beat Florida to move their record against the SEC to 23-5, however I can't argue with OSU's 0-9 record versus the same conference.

[Sergei Fedorov91 24]

Not really disappointed. Would've been glad if he chosen Michigan but I think Steven Threet is going to turn some heads. Plus Pryor sounds like a Michael and Marucs Vick and Maurice Clarett waiting to happen. Getting into fights and something with a domestic dispute if I believe.

i agree they were outplayed against florida. after they beat michigan they acted like their were already champs. lsu game was a little different. bad penalities and bad defensive play. i don't agree ohio state playing zone defense. it's a lazy defense and the only way it will work is if the d line get pressure. not at one point in any of those games did their d line get in the face of the opposing qb. i honestly feel they can play man to man. when they play zone they just sit there and wait for the other team to make mistakes. why did michigan beat florida this past season??? their defense attacked tebow. one thing ohio state has done very well since beating miami back in 02. now, when i said they win the games they should win i meant the MAC schools, the middle and lower tier big ten teams. usc didn't do that in their conf. this year. the blew it against stanford. georgia didn't do that too. they had a terrible showing against tenn. and s carolina. everybody wants the playoff but i only for it if it's done the right way. till then you win every game on your schedule you can state your case at the end of the year. if you're going to lose, then make sure you lose at the right time of the season.

bash ohio state all you want but when was the last time any big time program went out of conf. and played an team that caliber.

Michigan typically will try to have at least one solid nonconference opponent.

In 2005, Michigan had the 3rd hardest schedule. In 2006, Michigan had the 2nd hardest.

In fact, since 1999, Ohio State has only played a tougher schedule than Michigan twice...and has only had a top five schedule once; in 2005, when they had the 4th hardest.

i would at least hope you would think before you speak. first and foremost app st was a no1 team but not in DI, so that one doesn't count. if you are going to say that ND is a quality team to play you should go back to your HS and sue them for failing to giving you the education you rightfully deserved. lets take a hard look at michigans schedule back to 01.

01 the best team on that schedule was washington.

02 once again washington was the only team again. went 10-3 that year

03 PLAYED NOBODY went 10-3 that year

04 PLAYED NOBODY went 9-3 that year

05 PLAYED NOBODY went 7-5

06 PLAYED Oregon

their future schedule out of conf. schedule consits of in 09 and 10 all i keep finding is MAC teams. keep telling yourself your programs bad results are from a tough schedule. toledo has scheduled tougher teams then michigan. usc, miami, cal, va tech, cincy, oklahoma, and tenn sounds a lot tougher then ND, eastern michigan, utah, and toledo. it will be funny when those seasons play out too because i can already see Dick rod running the score up like he did at wvu. every michigan fan will be running their mouths about a NC game. till they lose to someone they shouldn't lose to because Dick rod is not a big game coach. don't tell me he is!!! every time he had a chance to win a game to keep wvu undefeated they lost. louisville, south florida, and pitt ring a bell???

If he lost every chance he had to keep WVU undefeated...they'd have lost the opener every year. Y'know...just sayin.

As far as being a big game coach...Tressel seems to lose an awful lot of big games.

As far as strength of schedule...

Michigan has typically played a tougher schedule than OSU. OSU the past few seasons has only scheduled cake teams, and has only won the games they were supposed to win. That they didn't schedule any nonconference teams that were a threat, and that they have been the best team in the Big Ten, doesn't mean they were ever the best team. Even OSU's 2002 championship run is tainted by some very questionable calls, or lack thereof, at key moments in a couple of games.

In 2005, Notre Dame finished in the top 10. Michigan only narrowly lost the game, and even then it was due to the officials failing to call a Chad Henne touchdown, and then reviewing the next play, which while worthy of review, was not nearly as obvious. This was also the year that Nebraska used an innovative 55-man spread in the secondary to win the Alamo bowl. Removing those two officiating errors, Michigan is 8-3.

In 2003, Michigan played USC, who ended up as the AP champions. They also played Iowa and Ohio State, both of whom finished in the top ten.

Why don't you show me who of consequence Ohio State played in the years you are questioning? Their slate seems pretty bare most years.

I think you should go back to your HS as well, because your grammar sucks. You don't know much either.....

First of all U-M's only choice was to get App State. When the NCAA added that extra game they were left with little choices. Most teams wanted a home and home, and the few remaining team such as Hawaii didn't want to travel.

The other stuff you know jack about.....

03: Played at No. 22 Oregon, and No. 15th ND.

04: You're right all they played was unranked ND.

05: Played No. 20 ND, and Northern Illinois, unranked, but one of the top MAC teams at the time.

06: They DID NOT play Oregon. Played Brian Kelly's rising CMU team, and beat No. 2 ND in South Bend.

You better look at your own past schedules before you start ripping U-M's. Playing Cincy, San Diego State, Marshall, Kent State, and San Jose State isn't that impressive either.

Cool. Now that that's over....go win us some football games and try not to be such a prima donna.

And whoever said Ohio State plays a weak schedule every year didn't do their homework. I suppose playing Texas back to back years when they won a national championship was nothing....and oh yeah, USC this year and next year.
