Let the Steven Threet Era begin!
damn
We don't at least get one University of Ohio State joke out of Brian?
I think that was an excellent post!
So we can start hating him now, right?
brilliant post
he def. belongs at the University of Ohio State
Sliver lining in this? Anyone?
"The University of Ohio State"
The kid had a whole extra month to decide where to go, and he doesn't even know the proper name of the school? Looks like he really is a buckeye.
TP's stat line - 1 play, 1 fumble...

good work brian.
Finally! I knew McGuffie would choose Michigan. No worries guys.
Some Guy Goes Some Place He Was Already Going, But Never Gets There Because He Doesn't Know the Place's Real Name.
Get ready to suck next year michigan... oh, I mean Steve Threat is really good. Last year he was a guy scheduled to be a career backup, but now he's a great athlete thats going to do amazing in RR's system. Thats right. LOL.
Please Don't listen to me! I'm just a disgruntled ditch pissing hill billy who still uses LOL when I make weak ass jokes.
@michigan blows
well said, so true.
appropriate post Brian.
Ahhh, lets bask in the moment where "University of Ohio State" fans continue to be ignorant on our blogs.
I'll continue to say it. I wipe my ass with TP. -- t-shirts Brian?
i mean your second comment, obviously. stupid troll
I'm not sure who Steve Threat is, but I don't ever remember anyone saying that Steve Threet would be a career bench warmer - dude was a 4* elite 11 qb.
It was a good thing he left when he did from GaTech - 1. for him because he was not a fit for the new GT triple option system - 2. because UM would be in the David Cone era.
i think i'm going to visit some OSU forums for fun.
This is what he actually said: "University of Ohio State"
I guess he's even dumber than he looks.
It's going to be hilarious watching this dolt drive OSU into the ground.
Here's hoping the University of Ohio State gets caught cheating AGAIN. Only this time, with real repercussions.
Douchebags.
Ah, yes. The annual rivalry game between Michigan University and the University of Ohio State. Always a fall classic.
From here on out, it will be referred to as tUoOS.
I see a special t-shirt for next year's war.............givingn TP full credit, of course.
it shouldn't be t-shirts with
"university of ohio state"
it should be rolls of tp
that would be fitting- and we can toss them on the field
is brian the one that takes the initiative to have the t-shirts made?
I'm all for a Pryor bashing t-shirt.
the university of ohio state is just tOSU's new moniker. they're hoping it'll help them beat the SEC. Like, the SEC will get confused who they're playing (most likely, with the closely named Ohio University), prepare for a MAC squad, and then - BAM - the buckeyes emerge.
i am old.
UOOS. He didn't say The. And since the point is to be all tight-assed about an article of speech, we do indeed capitalize the "Of."
Making fun of Pryor on a shirt = paying attention to Pryor. As Bo said, "see, I still matter in Columbus!"
Why give them that pleasure? Indifference is far worse than hatred.
jeremy,
you never had a clarett bashing shirt?
i know i did
i guess clarett and tp are on different levels.
I still wipe my ass with tp though
The University of Ohio State - I really am laughing my ass of over that one. Yes, he will probably be good, but did we really want this goofy looking douchbag as the QB of Michigan?
I propose the following T-Shirt:
The Rivalry - University of Michigan vs. the Statue University of the State of Ohio State (with a roll of toilet paper wearing a buckeye helmet at QB)
Not a big deal. No season or stretch of seasons is made or broken by a single recruit.
About that red symbol on the cap Pryor was wearing: was that an "O" for The University of Ohio State or was it a "0" to represent his upcoming GPA at said school majoring in Katzenmoyer?
"Indifference is far worse than hatred"
that's totally the advice given to middle school kids being picked on by stupid bullies. which is totally what OSU kids are...stupid. so i agree with the indifference plan.
I recant. I sell the kid short. Actually, Pryor is going to teach the Leon Spinks Method of Elocution to other Buckeye athletes.
CFB fans are so predictable. You'd be loving this guy if he was Blue, but now that he went somewhere else, he's a bust, overrated, etc.
Would it kill any of you to advise the slow and weak that there has been a new post? 27 fruitless refreshes later I figured it out.
Seattle,
give a man a fish, he eats for a day. teach a man to fish....
please feel free to madlib this at your discretion.
pogue-
No one said he was overrated, or will be a bust.
Everything said has been "Oh well, it won't ruin our next four seasons, nor will it make theirs."
That, and T-Shirt ideas.
Pryor is to Gargoyle as Clausen is to Emu
You know what's weird? I never really pictured him looking good in a Michigan uniform.
UOOS's uniform just seems like it'd look better on him.
Go ahead, picture it and get back to me.
Anyone have a link to video of the announcement? I still havent heard it myself.
I hope the "the rivalry" shirts say
Since 2008.
good luck Pryor. we'll manage to make do without you. in fact I believe Mike Barwis' steel spine has a couple of games left of eligibility and would be more than pleased to don a winged helmet (assuming the equipment manager can fashion a helmet to fit the top of a steel spine) and chase you down come November.
Dan K,
I know how to fish, just not always where to find them.
Poguemahone,
If you'd been paying any sort of attention, a lot of people (including our mostly fearless leader here) were pretty skeptical about Mr. Pryor in the first place. The problem is you can't deny that he's pretty good on film and is now going to play with our sworn enemy. It's a mixed bag, and the "predictable CFB fans" are behaving as such.
Personally I'm glad I can hate on the guy openly finally. Hopefully one of our unknowns will pan out in the end?
interesting thought....
Did Pryor say University of .... (*wait a second to tease us*, then) Ohio State!
Was this done out of spite? Are we underestimating his Buckeye-ness?
I don't know, I didn't watch/hear the selection.
Can someone please confirm if Pryor is either a spiteful Buckeye asswipe or just a complete idiot.
Video of the announcement can be found here:
http://maizeandbluesports.blogspot.com
Terelle Pryor drops Oregon!
Would that become "OH HOW U HATE OHIO UNIVERSITY STATE UNIVERSITY...ERRR...UMMM"?
okay, so he's just a complete idiot
The video can be found here. He was not trying to tease us, he is just that stupid.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F...h?
v=F6il_3q8SKs
Okay, maybe not calling him overrated, but I kinda doubt he'd be called:
"dolt"
"dumber than he looks"
"goofy looking douchbag"
if he was donning a winged helmet this fall. Just sayin'.
"CFB fans are so predictable. You'd be loving this guy if he was Blue, but now that he went somewhere else, he's a bust, overrated, etc"
Gosh, except for the 2 months of posts here by people saying "I am worried he might end up a bust if he comes to Michigan..." or "The stink of scandal already scares me if he becomes Blue..."
ProE-
Beat you to it :)

the solution is to ban joking on the interwebz
I thought it was funny on more levels than that, 875. Don't get so butthurt about it.
Repost from the end of the last as I am in the same boat with Seattle:
"The fact is, Michigan-ND-OSU-PSU etc are all pretty fucking good schools for academics."
Dex,
I'll agree that all of those schools are pretty good for academics. The big difference I see is the intelligence level of the general student population, and where that tends to come out is everyday conversation.
@Keegan:
I decided a while ago that life's too fucking short to be a nice guy all the time. Is some of the stuff I do embarrassing? Yes. Do I come off as an asshole sometimes? Yes. As a general rule does it really hurt anyone? No. So until someone jumps in front of a bus because I'm an arrogant asshole I'll continue being one. When that happens, well, I'll stop. And by "stop" I mean point and laugh and order a round of shots.
The post could be improved only by having none. As if nothing at all happened. But it's good nonetheless.
Well that's that then. Enough of it.
Good riddance.
I wish he would have just slipped right in to RichRod's spread offense in AA but...now that's it's official I have no problem proclaiming the following:
F Pryor
F Tressel
F the Scarlet and Gray
and F the goddamn "best band in the land"
You guys realy are tools. If he had chosen UM, all of you would be licking his balls right now.
and if he chose UM, OSU fans would do the exact same thing
domerva-
And if he picked Michigan, Ohio State fans would be doing the exact same thing we're doing.
Only their situation would involve more couches on fire.

domerva | 03.19.08 - 5:34 pm | #
And...he didn't. It's called a rivalry for a reason.
*chuckles* University of Ohio State indeed...
Hmmm, "Best Band" makes me think "Hang on Sloopy". And "Hang on Sloopy" makes me think "The University of Ohio State". And TUoOS makes me think Terrelle Pryor. and Terrelle Pryor makes me think "TP". And TP + Hang on Sloopy makes me think
HANG ON POOPY!!!! Yes, yes, I AM five years old, thank you.
"And if he picked Michigan, Ohio State fans would be doing the exact same thing we're doing.
Only their situation would involve more couches on fire."
And sexual relations with their relatives...*plays Deliverance music*
sometimes you lose em. what i really liked was how this kid said rich rod was calling him up this very morning. as long as there are no violations (and frankly, he needs to be kept on a tight leash), rodriguez will bring in a national championship. bet on it.
Well,
Can't say I blame TP about mixing up OSU and U of OS. OSU isn't very helpful when it keeps insisting that a "the" should be there. Methinks they doth protest too much.
@Dimerva:
That would be decidedly more comfortable. Licking my own balls is hard work.
I was a fucking genius at Michigan. I'm glad we're all here to bash an 18 year old whose GPA will most likely triple mine.
P.S. "How can a rivalry be a rivalry when the same team wins every year?" Mike 0-4 Hart
Every Michigan player is a straight-A student who in his spare time seckses the most beautiful women in the world while completing three doctoral degrees in one semester. I would know.
I feel like I never beat Ohio State. Oh wait...
"P.S. "How can a rivalry be a rivalry when the same team wins every year?" Mike 0-4 Hart"
Cracks me up how every tUoOS fan is only seven years old and doesn't remember going 1-13-1 against us.
If I change my name, I can pretend to be former Michigan players!
Who says a UOOS degree doesn't mean anything?
HAHA still havent fired a coach because we couldnt beat our rival
go blue
@NF
(tOSU student here)
Is there any truth to the rumor our drinking (problems) habits lead to selective memory or early-onset Alzheimer's?
Michigan athletics = Hilarious.
I've been wondering what twisted time warp world Pryor's been diddling around with in Pennsylvania.
Ohio State or Michigan??
Why not Iran vs. Israel?
Or how about the Nationalists vs. the Unionists in N. Ireland?
god almighty what the hell is this kid trying to start?
Would you be hating so much if he had announced his intention to go to the College of Michigan?

Ask DickRod about the sex with relatives...errr cheerleaders.
So now that it's over, what's the back-up plan? Is Carlos Brown a possibility or has that ship sailed already?
And...wasn't Ryan Mallett #1? (seriously, I don't know - I am not on par with most of you)
TP will own college football jut like me!
KTchicago=Troll
I'm not sure what you mean, Ronald Curry...my point is that Ryan Mallett didn't do amazing things for us, so...I'm not even going to finish explaining. Sorry I wasn't more clear.
No one remembers me?

Anybody remember when Joe Barksdale announced he would be attending the "University of LSU"?
we will prevail....go blue
Oh I so happy Antonio Bass finally picked Michigan University!
No wolverine for young men.
Its okay because Rrod is in mad love with 2-3 star recruits. I'm sure he'll have UM up to Lloyds level in 3 years flat....
Later Friendo's
idiot 5th-10th best class in country depending who you listen to and 2 or 3 star recruits are all he gets. idiot
@ poguemahone:
If that was the case I'd be a babbling idiot who couldn't remember last week, so No- I don't think it's the drinking.
@ Anton Chiguhr
I hope you don't mean losing to OSU almost every year.
RichRod will be fine in a couple years once he has "his" kids running the show. I think Barwis might end up being a bigger piece of the puzzle that RichRod.
I'm not gonna hate on the kid, its just that every time I hear him speak he sounds more brilliant than the time before.
Seriously, anyone that would choose to go to OSU over Michigan is a tool. I never wanted this kid, he is a cry baby and i cant wait to see him get lit the F#$% up.
Schadenfreude rules.
Domerva, speaking of licking balls? I assume DomerVa means your a ND dickhead from the Commonwealth of Virginia. And since YOUR team licks OUR TEAM'S balls, you have nothing constructive to add to the conversation.
Run along now and get Charlie another Krispy Kreme.
well, now what? These Michigan dolts
didn't even get TP's joke when he said the University of.........Ohio State. You boys thought he was going to say Michigan, didn't you? I felt bad when he ripped your heart out. Shame on him. Shame on you for not recoginizing a play on words when you hear one.
@The Shredder
After listening to that speech, there is no way he is that intelligent to think of that as a joke. No, he is really just that dumb. A la Barksdale.
TP-
Hate to break it to you son, but while you were having delusions of the college football world wanting to know which school you would pick...we were in the weight room lifting and on the track running day in and out.
Don't kid yourself, you ain't special...noone is.
See you in November,

Who did I just beat 49-6? Was that Michigan Uni...or was it...oh, I guess it doesn't matter.

Charles Stewart is either in his bed or at practice ...nothin in between.
Good to know, Charles, good to know.
So...
RR gets a pass on pronouncing hyperbole as hyperbowl and TP is an idiot for Saying University of Ohio State. You guys are hypocrites of the first order.
Anyone remember the classic line from Charles Rogers that he was going to play his football at "Michigan State High School". That HAS to be worse!
Shredder, I see you've finished mopping the floors and re-stocking the shelves....
Unfortunately, your take is somewhat off the mark. You give TP a little too much credit, brother. He isn't witty. He's fucking dumb. OSU's booster's did a better job than Michigan's. And if you don't think that business owner in Jeanette gave TP a little some'n some'n on the side, you're kidding yourself.
Finally, by the time the kid does get the starting job, TUOOS will be in a rebuilding year. All these seniors who decided to come back, en masse, will be gone.
Now, back to work. The toilets are clogged in the lady's bathroom.
Um, who is the "Some Guy" Brian is referring to? There's no freakin' text in the space below the headline except "That is all."!!!!!!!!!
Before people get upset, let's see how he is against tough competition. Western Pennsylvania isn't like Florida, Texas, SoCal, or Ohio when it comes to competition.

Michigan got McGuffie & Shaw in the backfield, and a good corps of recievers:Stonum,Robinson,and Roundtree.
You abide, dude?
One player doesn't make a team, but the persona and ego can. This was my attitude and after signing day I lost my interest in Pryor.
Besides, Michigan has been annually fantastic against big, option-attack, aerial threat quarterbacks over the past few years. Of those we had faced who were in-form and doing well, we were able to handle Tim Tebow, Michael Robinson (the 2005 Michael Robinson, not that he was, you know, that great), and Vince Young.
by the looks of the ignorant posts above, pryor definitely picked the correct school.
once again, the new breed of UM fan is shocking.
I invented running and perfected weight lifting! It's not like I'm just another S&C guy brought in by a school who has been in the conditioning dark ages for the past decade. No, my fanboys totally know what they are talking about and aren't totally over-hyping me because they are completely ignorant to the techniques used in most modern college S&C programs. I'm unique! I eat worlds! Every morning I knock down the immovable object and stiff arm the irresistible force. I make my players practice every day! Who does that?
Trolls, Trolls, Trolls,
I just dont get it. Why come to this board? Are you seriously that psychologically empty, incomplete and insecure that you would spend time out of your day reading a rivals board? Are you afraid we will say something that seriously needs to be defended by you? Or is it just because your self-esteem is so tied to OSU's success, that you feel the need to taunt someone. I respect the rivalry and have a very healthy hatred for OSU, but I cannot for a second ever imagine wanting to hang out with you people on a message board. Nor would I ever feel the need to taunt you from the anonymous safety of the message board. Talk to me. Don't run away now. Let's figure out why you feel so empty inside. Is it Daddy issues? Were you teased as a child? Do you hate your job? Does your wife beat you? Come on, as long as you insist on sitting on this board, lets make it productive time for you.
Lamaar Thomas said the same exact thing...Sounds a whole lot like "The University of ..... Michigan?

Yes, OSU is on a roll against us, but we aren't gonna harken the militia and fire up the troops because of it. They did!
Thats Cone dipshit!
You know whats funny Stevie Threet? Thats David Cone. Idiot.
@Ninja football (40 some-odd minutes later)
Well, shit. Maybe the majority of Ohio State internets fans are really that dumb naturally. Something in the water around Columbus, perhaps.

Tressel 1, Rodriguez 0
The heavens didn’t crash down upon Ann Arbor when the latest football recruiting deity, Terrelle Pryor, officially announced today what had been long suspected the last month – he’ll play for Ohio State's Jim Tressel.
Damnit, I hate it when fur trappers call me out on living in a trailer. I suppose shanties in the woods are soooo much better. Yeah it's cold but the government doesn't come around to try and steal your AK-47s. How's auto industry doing by the way? Does Detroit still look an unwiped asshole. Oh, and Seattle Blue, I come here after paying your wife to beat me because it gets her all steamed up for round 2 and I've got the money to spend.
hey remember how successful the last spread qb to come out of tOSU was in the nfl...
love the fact that tp announced around noon but the trolls have just recently come out o the wood work.
Many of their jobs don't require the use of a computer...
yeah - seattle who - because david cone is expected to be UM's starter now that pryor is gone.
Actually I think we are starting Richard Pryor in the fall...
St st st st t t t t u tter s s s t e p p p...
Seattle blue
I'll take you up on your offer.
I seldom look at your board. I never even knew it existed till a friend pointed out how entertaining it was reading about your fan base melt down during the coaching search. It was entertaining to watch and an informative example of human nature in the areas of wish fulfillment, angst, and arm chair quarterbacking. You see the same in any fan base but it was multiplied by your situation.
And believe me ...it was entertaining.
And so occasionally, when there was Pryor news, I would check in here to see your reactions (and the OSU boards too). However this is my first time posting here.
I came for entertainment... like some people like to watch ants scurry around after the anthill is kicked over. It can be fascinating in a warped kind of way.
But today i had to say something because the hypocracy was just getting a little thick.
And besides....sometimes it really is fun to give the anthill a little nudge.
Sorry if I truly offended.
The University of Ohio State
I love it.
It's Peanut Butter Jelly time!!!
Whateva, whateva. (some) people got upset and some mocked Michigan when we didn't get Les Miles.
I think that turned out very well.
Ninja,
I may embarrass myself, but I don't know because I have little shame, if any. I'm brutally honest, a lot of people have a problem with that. My friends don't though, so that's why we get along. I don't get pissed when people try to offend me, I don't know if anyone can flip me shit and actually have it piss me off. I only get pissed at stupidity. If you can't roll with the punches in life, you'll eventually catch one to the nads.
At least that's what my mom says.
OSUTroll,
You should check out your fan base sometimes. I realize UM fans are paranoid and pessimistic. But every fan base has it's quirks. No offense, but yours are assholes who tend to be arrogant ones. Not that you are, but the perception around your fans is that. Alabama fans are irrational and delusional. USC fans are rich snobs, Oregon fans are hippies, etc, etc... The point is, don't be a troll that just rolls around claiming one fan base is better than the other. We are all fanatics in our own crazy way.
Forgot, I have a new name.
this is all hyperbowl!! has my trailer made it to AA yet? my wife needs her Aquanet.
OSU fans-
Enjoy the bball game tonight along with carrying around the lead weight that is known as Ben Wallace.
...this is why I didn't go to UM:
http://www.mlive.com/wolverines/...ines/academics/
well that, and I wanted to play
in the NFL, and RR has never put a QB in the league.
Keegan,
It's like I was writing a response to myself man. Good work. I used to be a really nice guy and still am for the most part, but if you bring the stupid around me I'm damn sure gonna point it out. And people without a sense of humor can bite me. For fucks sake I just admitted finding out the girl I'm seeing is a stripper to a bunch of people I don't know and that I found out by accident. What's funnier than that shit?
baba bing: are you talking about the NBA? wow, times are tough up there huh?
how is your pistol team?
@ ninja
Not getting her shirt off.
@OSUtroll
I'm with you. I haven't stopped by here in a long time, but I thought I'd see how vitrolic the board would get. (...and I would nudge the anthill too)
The guy was obviously very nervous, making the biggest decision, so far, of his life. He may have been trying to make a joke but was so nervous he screwed it up...who cares.
This DOES add a bit to the rivalry. Good for everybody! Go ahead and hate him, oh spurned girlfriend!
I'm surprised you Blue fans haven't mentioned the kudos he gave to Rich Rod, particularly since Pryor pretty much dissed PSU and ignored Oregon. I'd still would have liked to have been the fly on the wall when he talked to Joe Pa. Yikes. I would guess if there was an Oscar for most Awkward Performance it might have been in the running.
"well that, and I wanted to play
in the NFL, and RR has never put a QB in the league."
Can we all just agree right now that Troy Smith does not qualify as an NFL qb? ok, thanks.
Its March. Whats your point?
@Jon,
That WAS the funny part. But I'm confused- Did you not see the original story, or were you trying to point out the irony in a story I wrote?
Does Tressel remind anyone else of the evil mastermind "Ben" from the TV show LOST?
@bada bing
Believe it or not Ben Wallace doesn't play at tOSU. I know it may be hard to understand, but he is in something called the NBA.
Chris Weber knows a thing or two about that.....and illegal boosters!
Keegan
I never said OSU had a better fan base... I just said the situation at your school was such that it led to a more entertaining meltdown than what was going on at OSU at the time. I assure you, the OSU fanbase was more entertaining than yours after the MNC debacle. (good job on FL by the way)
I really don't think there is any difference in fanbases in general. All have thinkers and stinkers. If you really look at posts on the OSU and UM boards they're incredibly similar, just change a few names (or psuedonames) and it could come from either school.
It's true UM fans are mostly arrogant.
It's also true that most OSU fans are arrogant.
Winners become arrogant, fiercely loyal and totally irrational...and that's where the entertainment comes in IMHO.
B/C Tom Brady dominated as a rookie, right?
What the hell is up with all these OSU trolls polluting our boards?
Ninja,
A great strip club story:
My buddy (almost broke at the time) walks into a strip club with $10 bucks. Stripper comes up and says "what a private dance"
Buddy: I only have ten bucks and I am going to want a drink.
Stripper: Well that isn't enough for me.
Buddy: Yeah, but I'm going to bet when you were young you did more than dance and you did it for free. I'll also bet you did it with worse looking guys than me. So how about you just give me the dance for $5 now?
She did.
My bad... I was confusing Ben Wallace with Othello Harrington. Its hard to differentiate between the two when both of the jerseys they wear are red AND both of the teams are from Ohio.
@jon:
B/c I'm guessing it was more of a "point and laugh" thing, which I totally condone.
Anyone seen this: http://www.bustedcoverage.com/
That poor girl goes down like a ton of bricks.
@ Ninja football
You mean starting a game in his first year?
Or being considered for the starting job this year?
Oh right, that's less impressive than Rasheed Marshall who is currently a WR in the Arena League. RR sure is packing the talented QB's into the NFL.

This will help...
anyone have any updates on spring practice?
@ bada bing
So you just admitted that you couldn't tell the difference from two players because they wear the same color and live in the same state?
Did they teach you that while you learned how to manage your day planner?
Henne,
No, but I really would like to hear. Has the daily or Mlive put anything up?
I wipe my ass with T.P. I wonder if the fuckeyes will buy him this years corvette to go along with the one they already gave him?
I don't think so, I'll be on the look out.
I think most of the OSU trolls polluting our boards are about 10 years old.
8 year olds, dude...
@ ninja
1) the irony
or
2) being a ironic smart ass
I am er atually 18 yar old tank you very much.
I think people need to disabuse themselves of the idea that because Pryor chose to go to another school, he's an asshole. Some players that we want will choose OSU. It happens. Chill. Just like there was this year, there will be another #1 Dual-threat QB in the nation next year. And we will be after him. This isn't that big a freakin' deal.
My brain aches.
It's true UM fans are mostly arrogant.
It's also true that most OSU fans are assholes.
Fixed.
(Sorry Troll, you actually had a decent post, I just couldn't resist).
And Tommy,
If Troy Smith takes over next season and leads his team to a World Championship, followed by 2 more and a losing effort in the next 5 years, starts banging a chick worth $140 million, and throws for more TDs in a single season than ANYONE EVER, you can bring that up. Until then, please try to form a better argument.
you OSU fans, follow my lead my slaves. Bring me fruit and suckle on my creative juices.
Not 10 yrs old, but I wish I were again. (Yet, that might confuse my teenagers and lead to leagal trouble for my 50 yr old hubby.
I'll see you guys in a few months or maybe after spring practices.
Happy Trails to you. (see, I AM old.)
tournament starts tomorrow, the bracket just keeps growing, should be great.
I don't understand why these trolls didn't come calling this past month...because honestly, did you really think TP was going anywhere other than OSU?
"uh...yeah I wanna give everyone a fair shot, so I wanna see Oregon and their facilities"
"I want to give TP a real shot, take a real look at them..."
later..."they live in the countryside, it ain't for me"
psht, whatever. Anyone pick a team that is not seeded #1 to win it all?
by TP I mean The Penn state university...bad thinking on my part.
"suckle on my creative juices."
That makes me feel about as awkward.

OSUTroll,
Thanks for taking me up on the offer. Your rationale made a little sense. I will put you in the courteous OSU fan category with the likes of Pecos Helga. I can take good natured ribbing as well as anyone. I have to be able to because my stepdad was a walk on QB at OSU in the 60's. I love the guy to death despite his poor choice of schools.
However, my comments were directed at the majority of brainless "in your face" entires such as the one by the troll who thinks Seattle is in the back woods really needs to step outside the smelting plant and ask himself why someone who lives in Akron would throw stones at Seattle or even Detroit for that matter. Yes I am making generalizations.
creative juices...that's just beautiful.
I just bought a new external hard drive so I had some time to kill while all my music uploads. I love reading people's reactions...
My only comment is really a request. Big T1e1n please get better... I'm tired of hearing how bad it is..

@ Seattle
Thx. And I live in the northern Rockies so I didn't get the Seattle insults either.
I hope each and every team in the Big 10 is better this year because the real enemy is the SEC and the media. Clearly the Big 10 was down last year and the SEC (ack, ick) has played better, recruited better, blah, blah.
My school is (deservedly) taking the brunt of the heckling so I have an extra motivation for it to stop.

Henne,
I don't care if you care or not, but you seemed to be the only one who wanted to talk football right now. I went and watched a few videos on Threet, I had never seen anything on him before.
Pros:
-Good size, Tebow-esque when he runs
-Accurate on tough throws (outs, curls seems)
-Good strength on the long ball, looks fairly effortless
-Ran some form of spread so the transition shouldn't be too bad
-uses legs to make throws
Cons:
-Tends to be off-balance when he throws. His feet get set but his mechanics force him to lose balance. Probably throws high or wide every now and then.
-Funky release. Looks like Phillip River or VY. Low release, with a little wind up. He doesn't aim it as much as VY did, it's more of a flip, which is good IMO.
-Not ninja mobile like Slaton, but a better passer.
-Has diamond earings
I'm not terribly worried long term with him. First 5 games scare the shit out of me. God I hope Shafer can pull this D together instantly.
OSUtroll,
It's only fun if you're the visiting team. It sucks for Husky fans.
I can't watch the first games tomorrow because I have class, but after that, I'm going to be watching ball all day. Last year I picked a ton of upsets, and my bracket blew. I'm hoping this tournament will be like the one two years ago, and that is why I'm picking George Mason in the final 4.
Keegan, thanks for the info.
I think the cons aren't too bad. As long as he can make most of his throws, that's all that matters. If watching Shawn Marion has taught me anything, it's that ugly form can produce beautiful results.
I think it's good he's tebow-esque, even better that he has good arm strength. As far as I'm concerned, as long as he can lead and be tough, we'll be okay.
As for the first 5 gives, it's a learning curve. The real season begins with the Big Ten.
OSUTroll,
I was at that game too. Crappy weather that day, great first half and an unbelievably dissapointing 2nd half, but on a sunny Saturday, I cannot think of a more scenic venue in the country. Plus, its got to be the only place where there is a huge tailgate between luxury yachts before the game, just outside the stadium.
Best part of the thread so far is the dude bashing Threet and posting a pic of Cone.
by gives I mean games. I've been reading too many OSU posts, it's messing with my head.
http://imagesocket.com/view/yp9bf.jpg
Its TP!
I think even the trolls can appreciate the beauty of Brian's threads.
buckeye commentary just doesn't cut it, speaking strictly from a non-biased perspective. seriously
Henne,
The cons were based on form, not the throws. All they show are highlights so I am guessing based on his mechanics, about the overthrow things.
Does anyone really believe a freshman QB was going to lead us to the national title or Big 10 title next year? Nope. I've very excited about the RR era, and know that the transition will take a year or two. Actually, Threet, a 4 star QB, is not a bad place to start. The reality is that RR never had that level of talent to start with. He's not an exact fit for RR's system, but I think he'll be successful.
I'm more than willing to deal with the pain of moving to a new system, since I know Lloyd is no longer in charge.
I think that Threet's mobility will surprise a lot of people. He is a tall, white guy, who isn't that fast, but he is deceptively quick. RR is going to tailor the offense to the capabilities of Threet, but he is not going to throw out the WVU style of offense. Threet will get a decent amount of carries next year, and he won't be a stranger to running with the ball.
Very nice stadium photo here:

Was nice chatting with you. Try not to be too harsh on me if I come in to kick over the ants nest sometime. It's all just in fun (at least from my intent). Good luck next season and watch out for Barwis...we may be looking to steal him too. In case you haven't heard we lost Reynolds (our speed coach).
i want football season to start already.
Not if you want the offense to put up more than 10 points a game. They are light-years behind the defense right now. That is what you would expect, though, 3 practices in.
I JUST realized that the renovations to Michigan Stadium don't include the addition of lights.

Football should be played in daylight, preferably starting at 1:00 on Saturday. Why do we need lights? Those who think night football is best should pick out a nearby high school a watch those games.
So there.
I don't want no damn lights.
back to football, I wonder when we're going to finally start reeling in some recruits for 2009. Especially getting some QBs and DEs.
Never put a qb in the NFL?
Threet is an ok fit?
UMMMM Shawn King
First player in NCAA history to run & pass for 2000 yds in a single season. I believe thats one more than sweater vest "troy smith has not done anything"
Threet is more athletic and mobile than Shawn King has ever been. RR used Pat White to the best of his ability. RR would have probably liked to be more balanced. WVU fans bitch all the time about only running four plays. But Pat White was very limited. TP would have been a great great pick up for us but Threet will be a very productive player.
I don't want no damn lights.

I just watched the end of that football game and... wow. That was insane.
I don't know if I'm remembering this right, but isn't one of the reasons why Nick Perry picked USC because Carroll said he could compete for the starting job right away?
I'm sure Perry knew this, but there were 3 or 4 other 4 star DE's on the roster, not to mention the another 5* and 4* DE they are offering this year. I conclude that Perry is a moron, and should have stayed in state.

I have an ex-GF who taught me the same thing. (HA! I crack me up.)
As for Threet: One "pro" that wasn't mentioned was his intelligence. The guy is supposed to be wicked smart, and that will be a tremendous plus in R2's wacko ninja offense.
Best quote of the day not to come out of TP's mouth:
Not landing TP "set our program back 5 years" according to some jackass tUoOS fan over at Mzone. Um, ok, because we're now not allowed to recruit another QB now? I'm confused.
@OSUTroll:
Good having you around for some actual debate, man. I always welcome that and have several really good friends who belong to the dark side, so as far as I'm concerned you're always welcome.

Congrats to being a Bills fan though, hope that works out for you.
i agree with random pizza house comment
the pryor timeline on espn.com is hillarious
This should come as a surprise to no one. OSU had been recruiting Pryor for a long time, whereas we only entered the picture on December 16 (but the fact that RR came so close to landing him despite OSU's head start should inspire confidence in his recruiting ability). Also, if Pryor's statements at the press conference are to be taken at face value, then you can't blame him for choosing OSU, since it sounded like he never really wanted to be handed the keys to the offense as a freshman. I think he's made similar statements in the past as well.
No big deal. Life will go on.
@Keegan
- Threet has removed the diamond studs - so that is one less con, not sure how it will impact performance on the field but it can't hurt.
Hello friends,
Well, it's taken the news of TP committing to the University of Ohio State (wtf?) to actually awaken my typing skills again. I guess it's time to look over the mountain of snow in my yard and consider the implications. They are, fortunately, few.
So basically a 5 star quarterback decided not to attend the U of M. He held off his decision for a month, got a diva-like amount of attention and some national media. Nice.
Apparently, this is so exciting that OSU trolls are all over the boards going on about this as if it's really that compelling. I'm pretty much "meh" on the topic. Michigan will recruit quarterbacks next year and definitely pick up a 4 or 5 star. In the meantime a 4 star elite 11 quarterback will somehow have to hold up in the evolved RichRod offense.
I wish Terelle Pryor well at Ohio State; I'm sure things will be okay in AA. Seems to me that everyone was a little worried about the coaching search and that seems to have turned out okay. Same with the S&C situation, new weight room, practice facilities, stadium improvements (mostly) etc.
It would have been nice to pick up TP but, really, it's a committment from an 18 year old with some potential to help the team, nothing more. He might have helped but he's not coming. Best wishes to him; let's move on.
Best wishes all.
"Does anyone really believe a freshman QB was going to lead us to the national title or Big 10 title next year?"
No, but Henne led us to the Big 10 title as a frosh, so anything can happen.
"I think that Threet's mobility will surprise a lot of people."
100% agree- not saying the guy is the next Mike Vick (on the college gridiron) - but he has decent speed and enough shimmy to get some yards, just watch his tape on rivals or scout.
And @whoever was saying Rod doesn't put qbs in the leauge - Shaun King (who had a better NFL career than any OSU qb that I can think of) would like a word with you.
Henne out, good night all.
Clarkie good to see you back!
Great choice TP! I'm sure you'll go on to have as much success as the last "golden boy" qb to attend OSU.
Well, that'll be enough of that shit, then. Clearly he was "University of Ohio State" material from the word go...probably dreamed of playing for the Eyebucks ever since he was a boy little.
More hockey coverage, plzmkaythx...

Pizza House sure doesn't live up to its hype.
If Anthony's wasn't buried in the corner of some bum-f**k plaza way out on Packard, they would rule this town. The Anthony's deep dish pizza is so far superior to anything Pizza House serves, I can't express it in words.
Seriously, people. Anthony's rules.
http://anthonysgourmet.com/
Pizza House offers so much more than pizza. And NYPD is the best pizza, though I have never heard of Anthony's, let alone eaten it.
Silvio's all the way, baby.
I commented a month ago that Pyor's inabiity to decide on a college exposed his ability to make decisions on the field of play.
I was overwhelmed with criticism.
All of us have observed what has happened to date. He has won a basketball championship but has threatened to fight the supporters and the team he has vanquished more than once along the way.
I rest my case- this kid's decision making at this point is not the best and OSU needs to work with him to prevent further incidents.
I wish him no ill will- other than on the third Saturday in November until 2012.
Are you kidding me? NYPD does NOT make the best pizza. You are the only person I know who thinks NYPD is actually good. The only reason they're around is because they serve the lucrative 12 am-4 am drunk crowds pouring out of Skeeps, the Necto, Bdubs, Bar Louie, etc. Absolutely nobody orders a full pizza from that place. Sick.
Oh. Never mind then. NYPD bad.
Best Pizza in metro Detroit is Buddys.
As for AA the only pizza I've had there is California pizza kitchen, so I can't properly comment.
Dudes- who gives a fuck about pizza at this time of night on a Wednesday before March Madness!
Good point Va -
what I really want right about now is a shirt that reads "I wipe with TP" and has a picture of our buckstachieod friend.
So, here's the thing that gets me about the Pryor saga. We've already seen his sketchy impulse control/decision making processes with the narrowly-avoided basketball melees. So today we find out the last piece in the three-schools story -- his parents wanted him to go to Penn State, his middle-aged businessman "friends" wanted him to go to tOSU, and Charlie Batch (not even an alum, mind you) wanted him to go to Michigan. Whose advice does he take? Why are these businessmen "friends" with a high school student anyway? Why do they care where he goes to school?
I don't wish the kid ill, but I'm not sure the Buckeyes got such a great deal today. There may well be more baggage than meets the eye. Of course, Pryor is such a level-headed guy I'm sure he's going to be a model citizen in Columbus and not drag any unnecessary scrutiny his way.
Congrats to tUoOS for their acquisition of Mo Clarett-lite. I'm sure his 2 years in columbus will be spectatcular.
And for the record, had he chosen MU, I would NOT be licking his balls; but I would cup them quite nicely if he asked. Your loss, Terrelle.
@Justin Zwick:
Yeah that's me.
TP followed his butt buddies to UoOS. They had a few sleep overs on the recruiting trail and have been sharing their hearts' secret desires in text messages ever since. His Mom and Dad didn't want him to go out with those guys, and Charlie Batch slapped him in the face and said, "It's time to be a man." He's in love, and no one can convince him otherwise.
From ESPN's Pryor Timeline:
Oct. 27, 2007: Ohio state football coach Jim Tressel and OSU basketball coach Thad Matta are in the house to watch Pryor's regular-season finale. He has a hand in all six Jeannette touchdowns in a 42-6 win over Greensburg (Pa.) Central Catholic.
Pryor tells the Cleveland Plain Dealer after the game, "I do that all day, every day. Ev-ery day. Everyday."
I hope Rich Rod responded to Pryor's decision on the phone with "We're going to crush every f@!*&#* bone in your body when we play you and those ass clowns."
I guarantee Feagin (if ever he becomes the guy - will remember the difference in hype that this SOB got)
I hated being the second choice by the hot girl at the prom, but I loved screwing her later!
VA,
No offense, I had a buddy who couldn't decide whether to wipe with his left or right. He was a pansy, spoiled, whiner off the field. On the field, he was an all-state QB who threw for 3,000 yds in 11 games and we had a 1000 yd rusher so it wasn't just the offense. Don't say that because he didn't make the biggest decision of his life on yours or anybody else's time frame, correlates to him not being able to make good decisions during a game. Now, does it correlate to off the field decisions, maybe. But Ryan Leaf made good decisions on the field in HS, how did that work out.
I am not trying to blast you on this, just a different opinion.
Other Chris,
We don't know what Batch wanted, we only know that NFL personnel said that RR's offense would allow him to translate into an NFL QB. Unless I missed a quote, then I am sorry.
I'm gone for the night.
jb,
"Losers always whine about giving their best. Winners go home and fuck the prom queen."
Now I'm out.
I was actually a bit impressed that TP apologized to RR. He didn't have to do that; it's his choice where he goes to college.
Hey, if TP is really that good, then it only makes Michigan look better if it beats him and the Buckeyes. That would be a really high quality win and it would make a lot of people eat their words.
I am confident that Shafer and RR are smart guys who can come up with a game plan to shut down TP. He wouldn't be the first super recruit to lose, and he wouldn't be the last.

Pryor could be someone to be reckoned with if he does not find trouble along the way. His ntemper may cost him.

I don't care, just make sure TP hops in his Vette and brings them over before they get cold, or he's getting a Roy Williams tip...
we have to make sure that TP has a good time at his prom this spring.
Can we help him to solicit a police officer who is under cover? That should cost him at least a year of eligiblility.

Pizza house is better for Italian entrees, salads, etc, but theres nothing quite like a drunken slice of NYPD at 2 in the morning
Brian said it perfectly. I felt like I knew from the start he wasn't coming here which is why I was crossing my fingers for Oregon. If I was him, it would've been either Oregon or OSU, and especially if he's the kind of guy that doesn't like all the pressure of making a decision right away, going straight to starting QB and expected savior is not the right place for him.
I think the people that are blasting him for being a media whore/etc are a bit off base. He's just an 18 year-old-kid, and I'll defend him the same way I defended Mallett when the Wolverine faithful were ready to jump all over him. Nonetheless, I am excited to see Steven Threet (and maybe Feagin, too) run the kind of offense Rodriguez used at Clemson. I'm sure I'll start hating on TP soon enough when he's playing us, but until then he's just a kid and this is, after all, just a game (though I do still hate OSU).
In 1991 and 1992 there was a pizzeria called Gepetto's and they would deliver these individual-sized pizzas late into the night I think for some ridiculously low price like $3.50 and only $.25 each topping. At that time this was the best pizza around but then around 1993 it came under new ownership and everything went downhill. There, I am done.
I have insomnia, seriously...
let me put in my two cents about pizza. For a quick, cheap slice of pie, I go to backroom pizza. it's pretty decent stuff.
the NYPD on South U is just terrible. flat out terrible. I've never tried the one by state street, but i've heard good things about it.
Never tried silvios organic pizza. also heard good things, but the vegetarian/fruit menu just doesn't appeal to me.
Cottage Inn, Papa John, good stuff but more expensive.
Dominos 555 deal is good.
Pizza house, overrated, but probably the best sit-in pizza restaurant.
Buddy's pizza, not that great.
I really like Happy's Pizza on Main. It's pretty affordable, but greasy as hell. that's probably why I like it.
can't think of any other places, but there's probably lots on South campus that I've never heard of.
trying to get some sleep now.

i guess the joke is on you.
....So I guess this means that the dream I had that Terrelle Pryor and I were in a buddy cop show that looked like the Beastie Boys' video for "sabotage" was just that....
Alas, I'll have to trade up for Barwis and Schaffer dreaming of ways to break TP in twain....

NYPD was my midnight dinner every night I walked home from Skeepers as an undergrad, show a little love.
Keegan, we DO know what Batch wanted. It was in an article that came out yesterday.
How depressing to be a Go Blow supporter. First you hire a coach that can't keep his word, then the QB you needed since your team sucks, bolts for your rival.
Then the typical, overtyped "cheating OSU, dumb OSU" jokes.
I feel sorry for you. Maybe you can set a new record and lose to a Div 2 team two years in a row.
Face it, nobody wants to go to Michigan.
Good luck in 2008.

Check the video Bucknuts fans. He had already unzipped his jacket showing a red/gray t-shirt before he mentioned University of Ohio State.
Duh!
i dreamed last night that M did the same thing to Pryor that we did to Tebow Mr Heisman in Orlando.
Where do I order my "I wipe my ass with TP" shirt?
Go Blue!
First I must admit I am not a fan of Michigan but I do like to keep up with college football happenings and do read this blog because I usually find it insightful as to the happenings with your program. I followed it religiously during the coaching search as well as during the fallout after the hire. I am somewhat disappointed in the lack of coverage of the Terrelle Pryor situation. I really did expect the fans of the program to act this way, it's natural to be disappointed when you put the next couple years on the shoulders of a young man and he turns his back to you, but I expected to see more on this blog than three words. I didn't think the author of this site would go in the tank with the rest of the fans. Brian, when UM hired John B. and Rich R. away from WVU you were right there with every other UM fan advising all Mountaineer fans to get over it. Shouldn't you be doing the same? Instead of hiding your head in the sand shouldn't you be discussing the next rabbit RichRod is going to pull out of his hat?
"How depressing to be a Go Blow supporter. First you hire a coach that can't keep his word, then the QB you needed since your team sucks, bolts for your rival.
Then the typical, overtyped "cheating OSU, dumb OSU" jokes.
I feel sorry for you. Maybe you can set a new record and lose to a Div 2 team two years in a row.
Face it, nobody wants to go to Michigan.
Good luck in 2008.
PS Where's LLLLLLoyd?"
Clearly you are a misinformed college football fan. Appalachian State is 1-AA punk! Technically speaking they are FCS. Get it right for crying out loud! Grand Valley State and Slippery Rock are D2 schools.
Anyway, I am a PSU fan and I figured TP was going to the "University of Ohio State" for a long time despite the hightened speculation he may choose PSU (Yeah right). The thing that gets me is he mentioned that he made the decision because he felt he would have a better chance at becoming a pro quarterback. REALLY??? Clearly the kid did little research and in five years, will this all really matter?
Why no love for NYPD?
Pizza delivery/mass production isn't their game. It's huuuge slices of specialty pizza. It's good anytime.
Face it, nobody wants to go to Michigan.

no one except the #6 recruiting class in the country
Holy *#$%! Pryor is going to OSU? I definitely did not see that coming.. No that hasn't been obvious for the last month and a half.. And no, I'm never sarcastic..
Threet was the no. 12 QB a couple years ago. He'll be the man. Yes the next year and a half will be rough. But we'll manage.
No. 1 QB recruits don't always pan out. Ask guys like JoePA how Morelli panned out. Todd Boeckman wasn't excitely a highly touted QB, nor was Sam Bradford (both much lower than Threet). Seems like it worked otu well for OK and OSU.
Hey,
So many of you......
Don't take it personally. How do you know something better isn't, now, in store for M's team? Pryor is where he should be and Michigan has options and QB's who will be much more interested NOW!!
Go Blue
Enjoy the process
I also think Threet is a nice story. Kid is from MI, grew up a UM fan. Kid didn't have an offer from Michigan, attended 06 spring game, still didnt get an offer.
Instead he goes to Gtech, but transfers to U of M during the summer before the season starts (so he only loses 07 instead of 08 too, if he would have transferred later).
And now he's likely starting at U of M, his dream school, where he would likely have been a backup his career if he got an offer and if Mallett had stayed (if we still had a pro style offense).
Smart kid, cool story.
After reading the piece on Barwis that is on GoBlueWolverine.com, I have decided that I am voting Mike Barwis for President, 2008.
Hey,
So many of you......

i think thats how most of us feel..for the last few weeks alot of us have been joking about pryor, and thats what they were,jokes..i have no ill will towards the kid, i just hope we can punish him when november rolls around.
First I must admit I am not a fan of Michigan but I do like to keep up with college football happenings and do read this blog because I usually find it insightful as to the happenings with your program. I followed it religiously during the coaching search as well as during the fallout after the hire. I am somewhat disappointed in the lack of coverage of the Terrelle Pryor situation. I really did expect the fans of the program to act this way, it's natural to be disappointed when you put the next couple years on the shoulders of a young man and he turns his back to you, but I expected to see more on this blog than three words. I didn't think the author of this site would go in the tank with the rest of the fans. Brian, when UM hired John B. and Rich R. away from WVU you were right there with every other UM fan advising all Mountaineer fans to get over it. Shouldn't you be doing the same? Instead of hiding your head in the sand shouldn't you be discussing the next rabbit RichRod is going to pull out of his hat?
Jeff | 03.20.08 - 9:00 am | #
Jeff, you're an idiot. Brian isn't "going into the tank". He has posted, ad nauseum, that Pryor was going to OSU, making any excess hand-wringing or analysis today absolutely unnecessary. Pryor did what every single semi-rationale person thought he was going to do for the last 2 months. What else would you have him say?
Kevin,
What illustrious QB's (somewhat recently) do Paterno or RR have on their resume? The last PSU QB that played QB in the pros was Kerry fucking Collins. Michael Robinson is a RB, so he doesn't count.
And Rodriguez? The last QB he coached that went to the pros is Woody Dantzler, who only played as a kick returner. Before him, Shaun King, 10 years ago.
Tressell has had 2 QB's leave OSU in his time, and both went to the pros despite not having any athletic ability (Krenzel) or being 4'2" in stilts (Troy Smith).
chi,
dont forget, tressell was at osu, RR at WVU... big difference there in the player comming in.. How many Qb's did tressel send out before he got to osu?
The kid wanted to go to osu, so he did..end of story...
I actually did research. Before Collins, the last PSU QB to take an NFL snap was Todd Blackledge.
Anybody remember Gumby's pizza in AA from way back?
(Or am I hallucinating again?)
gsimmons,
The poster said that Pryor choosing OSU over PSU or UM constituted a "lack of research" which is BS, seeing as the only QB Rodriguez sent to the NFL in his career was Shaun King (again, I'm not saying he can't, I'm merely saying that "research" indicates that RR QB does not strongly correlate to being an NFL QB), and PSU has sent 2 QB's to the pros in the past 2 decades. So, Tressell, being 2 for 2, even if they aren't spectacular, is a better track record. "Research" shows that.
Sorry, make that 3 decades for PSU.
Also, Tressell coached I-AA, which is a huge step down from WVU, Clemson, and yes, even Tulane where RR was.
Damn it, I wake up and see OSU trolls polluting our boards again. Go to class idiots, it's too early to get drunk off your ass sniffing glue.
I will give NYPD another chance.
Then the typical, overtyped "cheating OSU, dumb OSU" jokes.
I feel sorry for you. Maybe you can set a new record and lose to a Div 2 team two years in a row.
You are right. We definitely "overtype" the "dumb OSU" jokes. Unfortunately, you don't do much to make our "overtyping" seem unwarranted.
First of all, you are thinking of I-AA, and not D-II. There is a pretty big difference. But let's say it was a slip. Great. So if you actually looked at our schedule, then you would notice that UM isn't even playing an FCS team this year. Kinda makes it hard for the Wolverines to "lose to a Div 2 team two years in a row," unless we are somehow placed in a bowl game against an FCS opponent or are kicked out of FBS and are forced to play at the FCS level.
27 bloggers ready for tip off.
@Henne for Heisman,
They're getting ready for the tourney today. Oh wait...
What bothers me, I suppose, is that when people make claims like "Pryor went OSU because he didn't do research/got paid/etc." implies that he went to OSU because of his stupidity, as if it's a place that no elite football player ever would consider going, which is so incredibly wrong-headed, it's absurd. We're Michigan fans, we don't like OSU. That doesn't mean that every single football player that chooses them over Michigan is stupid, or was bribed. That's idiocy.
Holy shit, Worst. Comment. Thread. Ever.
I find it interesting that Mike Farrell spends his entire life following around 16-18 year old kids.
Talk about an useless profession.
Almost everything on this comment thread makes me angry. From OSU fans gloating over something that was a foregone conclusion 3 months ago, to Michigan fans actually being stupid enough to react negatively, giving them something to gloat about.
Finally, all the ass-heads that see Pryor choosing OSU as an indictment of his intelligence and character. Holy. Shit.
It's like reading the transcript of a sports bar conversation in a town that dumps lead into the water supply.

FWIW, I always liked Bell's.
yes! Cottage Inn.
Faz was great until they started putting his remains in it.
I find it ironic that I'm being criticized for being "harsh" when I merely say it's possible that Pryor went to OSU because it's what he wanted - not because he's dumb, or was bribed, but somehow the people that type tripe like that get a free pass.
chi,
ok dude, wait a minute....
im not critizing you for anything, i am merely asking why you are reacting so harshly to it. to the point where you say everything on here makes you angry....

Hey bgh, did the chick with the apple die?
i guess she is on life support with no brain activity. sad story. i mean, what can you do?
besides, you should know that in college basketball only the 2nd half really matters
I remember the year Duke won the championship. In their match up vs Maryland in the final 4, they were down 49 to 27 (approximately), and they came back and won by 10.
some middle aged female co workers are filling out their bracketts for our office pool. i told them kentucky was the team to beat this year. lol.
in other news, fuck dunkin donuts for putting milk in my coffee.
BGH - that's actually a good lie - I tried to do the same, but told them American University, but even they could smell the BS in that one.
chi
have you visited my blog yet?
gsimms - I have, on numerous occassions.
chitown, i figured it was believable enough to fool these women into picking kentucky. i live in pretty solid "cat" country (uk basketball fans are the rough equivalent of osu football fans) so they took the bait hook, line, and sinker.
What is Cincy, BGH? Some sort of mutant hell spawn cross of Bearcat, Buckeye, and Wildcat fans? How do you live there?
i meant lately, sorry... i know you are one of my 5 loyal readers...
lol
Well, this is shaping up to be a largely unproductive afternoon.
Does the MMOD screen still have the "Boss Button" like it did last year? That was hilarious in addition to being extremely useful.
Cincinnati is a pretty even amalgamate of Xavier, UK, UC, and OSU fans. If I had to rank them, i'd say that UC has the msot fans, followed by Xavier/UK (tie) and then OSU. In terms fo football, its mostly OSU fans. It's hard to live here, for many reasons. Which is why I'm most likely moving 3,000 miles away in August.
Also, gsimmons, I vist your blog usually once a day. I never have anyhting to say, though.
I think that the questions regarding TP's intelligence came from "tUOOS" and his assertion that OSU is some kind of an NFL QB factory (based on a sample size of 1). Other than that it mostly looks like he wants to ride the coattails of the returning players to a NC without feeling any pressure to produce, and he does not feel prepared to take a ledership role at Michigan.
Or he just likes OSU - but that is a boring answer and it leads us back to the lack of judgment / intelligence issue.
i think he just wanted to hang with henton, and learn the finer points of gallavanting around with ladies for hire.
thanks BGH....
next week is spring break for me, so im going to try to get some stuff up as part of my to-do-list
But Rich Rodriguez and Joe Paterno have not demonstrated any strong ability to put QB's in the NFL.
chi & gsims,
you two going steady yet?
huh?, no they're just friends with benefits.
Huh?,
Yes.
gsimms
what's your blog called?
huh?
great post, we have been arguing most of the morning...
most be nice to be able to hide behind anonymity
Hey I am back.
three and out....
its my home page here.
Hey taureen, how are you doing?
The NFL argument is stupid. Completely stupid. No school regularly puts starting QBs in the NFL enough to determine any kind of pattern. It's "common sense" that Michigan puts QBs in the league- ok, well those coaches are gone anyway so there goes that one. In no way does going to OSU disqualify you from being an NFL QB. It's simply not true.
gsimmons85, I love you mean. Simply love...
right now, i'm making a curriculum for an 80 security guard training class. i jsut previewed a videa called "verbal judo: non-physical confrontation"
Terrelle Pryor can't be a NFL QB for these reasons.
1. passing game isn't there
2. not as talented as Vick/Young.
I would have signed up for the pool but it required a yahooID and that is far, far too much work to axe of me
M Flight
how do you not have a yahoo id on hand?
dex, terrelle pryor went to osu. i guarantee you he will not fulfill his potential
bgh,
when i worked security for burns, in southfield and detriot. we had to watch a video about how to confront without weapons....
pretty funny, basicly run and hide, and call the cops....
i didnt abide by the rule very well...
to judge fullfilment of potential, isnt it first required that you have some first hand knowledge of what that potential is? i mean, he's 17. none of us have seen him play in person. or met him. or anything. so yeah.
lol, gsimmons, this whole security guard training has been a pretty funny experience. im also designing uniforms.
FWIW, I have gone to Madison to se UM play UW a couple of times (both the horror show of 2005 and this last year), and Badger fans are slightly less ignorant assholes than the tUoOS variety (but just as drunk, they love their Miller Products)
is this being racially insensitive? or is it hilarious to a high degree?
no resentment toward OSU, honest.
BGH,
make sure you put a big, "im not carrying any weapons, and im not getting paid enough to stop you from whatever you are doing", sign on the uniforms...
I just think it's odd to have this great passion for OSU (but I would, wouldn't I?) when you're a kid from Pennsylvania and the adults you'd normally turn to for guidance suggest PSU or UM. I mean, no offense to OSU, but beating Michigan on an annual basis the last couple of years doesn't mean a lot to the rest of the country when you've lost pretty spectacularly in the postseason.
Why wasn't Florida on the radar if he was wanting to learn from a senior quarterback (his new party line)? Why not LSU? Okay, maybe he sees himself as a Big Ten kind of guy (why as a dual threat QB, but again, whatever) so what was all that Oregon talk about?
It all just seems strange.
Sorry you guys lost Pryor to OSU, man that has got to hurt.
BGH - you should pattern the uniforms off of the Legion of Doom. Spikes are intimidating.
sparty, come party with me and edwin baker.
sorry spartyon
it must hurt to be a msu fan all the time....
Sandy, its because Google will own the world some day soon and yahooID's will be known as the Mark of the Beast
Other Chris,
He decided to go to one of the 3 most successful college programs in the country (over the past 5 years). I can't fathom why that's so difficult to understand.
i wish i could, but provincial laws do not allow it. so, im going with the midnight blue/touch of gold motif.
Lack of fit.
Excellent retort, gsimms.
Other Chris - How is it a lack of fit? Troy Smith, with less physical gifts (but similiar ones), won a fucking Heisman there.
chitown, your lack of homerism is worrying
i love dex...oh yeah...he makes me wanna go oooo oo oooo oooo. I just want lather him up, drink his milk, hug him tight, run my hand through his hair, jump with him, swim with me. i just want to sing to the world of this love, this inseparable love. only public health officials can terminate our love, but if that happens, we will be reunited by catherine. it is so wonderful, optimistic and true, this love, this love will last for eternity.
But Troy Smith isn't (well maybe he is but nevermind that) starting in the NFL!!!!! PRYOR WILL FAIL!!!
When did everyone turn stupid?
Sparty on, I'm sorry you lose every major recruit to Michigan and follow that up by losing every game to Michigan. Good point though, we did lose Pryor. Idiot.
M-Flightsci,
You're right, how's this:
HOW CAN ANYONE POSSIBLY CHOOSE OSU OVER MICHIGAN??? THE ONLY WAY THAT IS POSSIBLE IS FOR THEM TO BE CLINICALLY RETARDED OR BRIBED.
I'm sorry, I didn't realize I logged onto MLive.
much better, thanks chitown
chi,
thats all i got, sorry....
RR was Shaun King's OC at Tulane. Between King and TS I would call that a push. It is not that OSU can't put a QB into the NFL, so much as there is no track record of having done so. To offer that as a justification is just kind of silly, making it look like he either had no good reason (other than the easy route to a possible NC as a pine-rider), or reasons that don't sound good during a press conference.
look, just because we all grew up loving michigan football doesnt mean the rest of the world did.
Also, lack of fit?
I defy anyone who seems to want to claim that Michigan would be better for his pro career to name a single NFL QB that played for Rodriguez aside from Shaun King.
chitownblue,
your lips make me want to sing to the world, sing to the world of our enchanting bliss. sing to the world of our secret affair, sing to the world about our noses touching at night, the grin you have on your face in the morning. the birds sing our name, the ground offers up its scent. o chitownblue, can't you see it is our destiny.
And raising your kid to become an OSU fan is borderline child abuse
Doesn't Pryor know about Tom Brady?
TOM BRADY!!!!!!11 winner
the whole qb in the pros thing is really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really getting annoying.
How many other pro qb's did Brett Favre's college HC put in the NFL? How many top tier pro qb's has Pig Fulmer put in the league besides Peyton?
Troy Smith could pass the ball. The jury is out on Pryor in that regard. I guess sitting behind Boeckman will give him time to develop or find a better fit.
Shut up BGH, the NFL only cares about your college pedigree. They care nothing for talent!!!!!!!!!!!
Devil's Advocate:
Tressell has coached 2 quartbacks at OSU that had an opportunity to be drafted so far - Krenzel, and Smith. Both were drafted, and both have taken pro snaps.
RR has coached upwards of 10 QB's. And one has taken a pro snap.
Finally, I'm not saying that Troy Smith will be a successful NFL QB, but the fact that he didn't play much in his rookie season is not an indication that he will be a failure. Condemning him to Shaun King/perrenial back-up hood is premature.
Same argument, though. Outside of Troy Smith . . . nothing. Doesn't favor Michigan, but it also doesn't favor OSU. Again if that is one of the deciding factors, it is a weak one.
dex, chitown
you hurt my fealins. i don't know what to do now.
Other Chris:
They jury is out on every fucking high school QB, because we haven't watched him play. Do you want Pryor to say "I can't pass! I'm not going to OSU!"
let's be serious here.
WHY ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT OSU??? WHO GIVES A DAMN. GIVE ME RECRUITING INFO ANY TIME.
Hello M fans. It's me again. I know you haven't enjoyed me for the better part of a decade, but it's tourney time...
Devil's Advocate: Troy Smith won a Heisman. If he was taller, and had a stronger arm, he would have gotten drafted higher. Terrelle Pryor is taller. Terrelle Pryor is faster. And OSU, under Tressell, has run an offense that allows the QB to showcase both their running and passing skills. How is this possibly a bad fit, other than the fact that it doesn't fit in with what the Michigan fanbase wants?
this thread really has broken down over the past half hour.
Here is a recruiting update, for anyone that wants to talk about current M football.
http://www.varsityblue.blogspot.com/
Thanks to Tim
I get it, but it just comes off as a little weak. No NFL teams are chomping at the bit to see which tUOOS will be selected in the 6th round of the draft. tUOOS fans talk all of the time about the glut of talent that Tressel has had to work with, but with the exception of TS, their QBs are largely place-holders that hand off the ball to Wells, etc.
Coach rod warms my heart..

whats the deal on tate forcier? i know his bro transferred due to lack of playing time and he's a scramble/dual option qb, but is he any good? i havent looked him up, whats his star rating? what do the national recruiting gurus say about him? if you've looked into him, would he be a good fit at michigan? whats our competition?
Devil's Advocate - your argument is that the NFL doesn't want to look at OSU QB's because they're like Todd Boeckman. Well, no shit - because he's Todd fucking Boeckman. What does Todd Boeckman's Todd Boeckman-ness have to do with how they'll see Pryor?
Again, from Tim
Thursday, March 20, 2008 by Tim
The full board. A bit of information was rearranged, but not enough to note it here.
New Information
VA QB Kevin Newsome - linked to State Track meet article.
CA QB Tate Forcier - linked to his Michigan offer. Also, current internet rumor du jour is that he is visiting Michigan this weekend.
PA RB Jordan Hall - Plans an early decision.
MN WR Fritz Rock - Life story article from the Gopher Hole. Football Story
MS DT Josh Boyd - has reportedly been offered.
MD LB Jelani Jenkins - has reportedly been offered.
FL WR Andre Debose - Track results.
Added
IL QB Darwin Rogers - run-pass QB from Chicago.
FL RB Vincent Smith - HS teammate of Martavious Odoms and Nu'Keese Richardson. May be close to a Michigan offer.
GA TE Terrell Mitchell - He claims a Michigan offer.
IL OL Chris Watt. He has a Michigan offer.
OH LB Dan Fox. Michigan Junior Day attendee.
why are we offering more TE's?
Dooodz we could get this guy he's faaaast!
http://youtube.com/watch?v=hCAkVvNFk-0
BGH,
Forcier is 4-stars, and is the #51 recruit in the nation (per Rivals). He has offers from Arizona, Auburn, Kansas, LSU, Maryland, Michigan, Oregon, PSU, Stanford, Texas A&M, Virginia, Va Tech.
tate would be a great fit for michigan. He has a tremendous arm and is very accurate. when the pocket breaks down, the boy can run and run fast.
he's a 4 star recruit, and is being pursued pretty heavily by Penn State, who seems to be the leader right now.
but RR has been talking with him, so things might work our way. He's supposedly coming into town this or next weekend.
his bro liked michigan but didnt think he'd get a chance to play, correct?
Henne, I'd love to see Tate follow in the wake of shining examples of Penn State superstardom - Anthony Morelli and Deon Butler
I don't think his older brother was very mobile, which made him doubt whether playing for RR was the right thing. That, plus the fact that he was sandwiched between Henne and then Mallett and Threet led him to believe that he wouldn't play.
haloscan!
haloscan, suck my balls.
yeah, jason forcier was a great prospect, but things didn't work out for him. I think he was dual threat too.
Lloyd didn't like dual threats. Isn't Matt Guttierez on the Pats?
correct me if im wrong, but jason forcier transferred befor rr was named as coach?
Matt Guttierez would have played for us if he hadn't had that bizarre injury that opened the door for Henne.
bgh, correct.
the only player to transfer in the post carr era is the big beef himself, RM.
I am just saying that Shaun King did not exactly have TP's physical gifts and was a starter for a while. Pat White can't throw, so he will not be a great NFL QB. I am just saying that comparing TS to Pat White is apples and oranges because of their different skill sets. Frankly, I think that any coach would have to be a moron to not find some way to take advantage of TP's skills.
I guess I just disagree with those who believe that the conversation would go something like this:
TP: Hey Coach Rodriguez, I am actually an excellent passer and would be a great passing spread QB.
RR: No, thanks. I prefer to underutilize your skills in a one-dimensional fashion. I took a mediocre group of players at WVU to national prominence based on my inability to take advantage of the talents of my players.
Is Pat White going to be a CB in the NFL?
Devil's Advocate - I don't think I said a think resembling what you describe. All I said is that indicting him for choosing OSU because "they don't develop QB's" is erroneous.
OK, I will let it go now.
Have a good one...
Coming from a true Michigan fan, we didn't want Pryor. Regardless of our current quarterback situation. After reading stories about how he handled pressure from crowds playing basketball in arenas that seat 2,000 fans, he sounds like a bit of a headcase. He will not be albe to handle the pressure in stadiums like Illinois, Penn St, MSU, or The Big House. Plus he kinda sounds like a prick.
they sure did develope Troy Smith... he got so much better at hiding his take from the boosters as he spent more time in the program
FWIW, Forcier is much, much, much less of a runner than Pryor, Shepard, or similar QB's.
Leave it to Drew Sharp to write drivel.

i just watched this tate forcier video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F...h?
v=F8RmaGwcUXY
seems like he could be a great college qb, running and passing.
Hey everyone. Which game are you going to watch right now?
time for henne to eat, peace out.
fyi, I will emerge as the bracket leader by tonight.
xavier
Jason, how badly could he have handled 2000 person crowds if he was the best player on the State Champion, really? Just deal with the fact that he chose somewhere else. It doesn't mean he's an asshole, and it doesn't mean he's beneath us. He just wanted to go somewhere else.
I don't know chitown, that kid is pretty damn stupid, if you've watched all the interviews and press conferences. I'd say he's beneath us.
if you were really good at something - the obvious best - throughout you entire life, you'd be cocky too. and cockiness is perceived as being an "asshole" by a lot of people. im sure terrelle has had a lot of people in his short life tell him how great he is. of course he's going to be cocky. that doesnt mean he's a bad person or anyhting more than a kid whose really fucking good at something. now, from a fans standpoint, i hope he ends like xavier lee: too fucking cool to take instruction. i really hope so. but my desire hasd no impact on reality. i think a lot of people just wont accept that.
their QBs are largely place-holders that hand off the ball to Wells, etc.
And yet, OSU gets Krenzel to play mistake-free & effeciently enough to get an MNC. kid was a 3-star also ran, no M offer iirc.
Troy smith was a 4 star athlete who turned into a deadly accurate passer and heisman winner.
Boekman is Boekman.... yet somehow they got him to lead the B10 in passing eff for 80% of the year.
under tressel, osu QB play has *significantly* improved. and with little upgrade in talent, until now. as far as i'm concerned, Tressel is 3-for-3 with guys half as highly rated and half the athletic ability of TP.
By the way, here is how Pryor failed to handle the 2,000 person crowd in the championship game:
39 points, 26 boards, 10 blocks, 6 assists, as they beat the #1 team in the state by 18 points.
BBB, have you met many Michigan football players? 85% of them are idiots.
BENEATH US I SAY
the madness has begun
on the streaming video, there is no announcer feed. nice.
Check the video Bucknuts fans. He had already unzipped his jacket showing a red/gray t-shirt before he mentioned University of Ohio State.
Duh!
Oooh zinger. Maybe he won't be as good of a player then. Maybe he should have never been recruited to Michigan, because he could never live up to the high academic standards you pompous blowhards think you have.
He is an 18 year old who had no delivery on a stupid joke.
Terrelle Pryor went to OSU because he wants a career in the NFL. Michigan is where NFL dreams go to die.
I like how this site's header is now a picture of #20, Mike The Mouth Hart. Couldn't be a better representative of Michigan football, than a midget with a mouth who didn't beat OSU in 4 years but still ran his mouth. Lost 3 bowl games and had 3 fumbles in his attempt to try and make his team lose their 4th bowl game in row. Despite him, Michigan won.
Best of luck with your NFL practice squad career Mikey.
CoachDickyRod,,
you are here why?
"Michigan is where NFL dreams go to die."
Michigan NFL players have been far more successful than OSU NFL players, dumbass.
@big gay heart,
Yeah. Just listen to the audio. Why can't they have both audio and video?!?!
Coming from a true Michigan fan
I automatically quit reading anything after a sentence like this.
See, and then you have this trash. If you'd actually have read more than tree of the psots in this thread, you fucking sloppy cunt, you'd know that the majority of us are not of the opinion that TP is anyhting more than a kid who chose our rival.
Mike Hart has, comparatively speaking, a real dearth of physical skills. Nonethless, he played well above that fact for 4 years. He was never the reason that Michigan lost to OSU. He had a great game in 2006 and was obviously hurt in 2007.
Michigan has more starters in the NFL than OSU, including this year's MVP and Offensive Player of the Year . OSU has like 3 more guys in the NFL. But yeah, Michigan is where NFL dreams go to die.
dex,
my turn of remark, is someone commenting on a football topic that starts off, Now i admit, "i know nothing about football, but"
im fine with the "no announcers" thing. the only guys i can get behind are gus johnson and clark kellogg (despite him being an osu cronie)
can i suggest an essay contest explaining why everyong here thinks they are a 'true M fan?'
Scout says we lost an Olineman at practice yesterday, not sure who or if it was to injury or quitting the team. Back-up supposedly, anyone know anything?
I think audio in the video is working now.
yeah i now have audio and video
maize, yeah i got it now.
god, i hope it's not jake long....
Tim McAvoy broke his tailbone when he got knocked on his ass too hard.
That, or he sprained his pride.
oh thank goodness....
OT: do you think an injury to ABass during spring ball would be the final straw that kills his career? i sure hope he makes it back in the fall. dude had mad potential.
This just in, and injury from practice:
Antonio Bass has fractured his potential.
Georgia's uppity early.
whats the timeline to return from a fractured potential?
What do you guys think about Carlos Brown taking snaps at QB? I heard he ran the exact same offense RR is running, down to the terminology, in HS and he had 4,000 rushing yards, 3,500 passing yards, and 70 TDs.
@Henne from Heisman
- C'mon gimme a break Papa John's better than Buddy's?
Papa's sucks, sucks, sucks, sucks.
doesnt matter, RR is just keeping the seat warm untill Miles takes the job this summer....
anyone who's ever played QB ever should try out. it couldn't hurt.
Didn't Junior Hemingway take some snaps at QB last year? Hmmmmmmm....I think we have an answer. Threet's a decoy.
Dex, you're forgetting about the fact that he also actually floated 8 inches over the field.
In all seriousness, they may run Brown as a decoy, but Brown is the only tailback that RR has been enthusiastic about in his press conferences so far - he actually says Brown has good hands, and could line up in the slot a little bit as well.
Mark Huyge played QB for his 5th grade Pop Warner team. I think RR could adjust his offense for a 6' 7" 320 lb QB with no discernable running or throwing skills.
anyone else think you would get tired of hearing stupid announcers saying "and Hemmingway authored another great drive right there"
Does anyone know why Threet transfered to Michigan. Was it a depth chart issue or did he just want to be closer to home , or what?
@dex
"Holy shit, Worst. Comment. Thread. Ever."
THE HORROR thread still is tops in my book, although this one is becoming dangerously close to the OMG KIRK FERENTZ, MIKE DEBORD HEAD COACH threads.
MFBlue - he'd be #3 on the Ga Tech depth chart this year.
@ MFBlue, both of those, plus the coaches that recruited him left.
whats the timeline to return from a fractured potential?

Seeing as "potential" is the "future capacity to develop or improve", I'm afraid it's Terminal.
the biggest thing was that the real conections he had that brought him there were gone....
Now that tech has paul Johnson - threet would never play since he is not a triple option qb - great move by him transferring when he did.
@MRG
Wait, but he transfered 2 years ago. So GT still had the same coaching staff when he transfered. Or am i confused
You're right, MFBlue, when he transferred, Gailey was still the coach.
Chan Gailey touched him inappropriately.
Haloscan is dumber than Pryor.
http://thumbsnap.com/v/64ArAngu.jpg
Threet graduated from HS early and erolled a semester early (like mallett) - GaTech had some coaching changes, and they liked another qb josh nesbit i believe more than threet - so threet transfered to mich. Now GaTech has a completely different staff from chan the man gailey.
when he transfered he didnt give playing time as a reason, he talked aobut being close with the guys that recruited him, and how they were leaving....
Either the OC or QB coach left before Gailey was fired. I forget which.
right mrg, the guy who recruited him, iirc
New post, fyi
Well we wasn't going to play at gatech - I know what he said, but the fact that he was behind another frosh on the depth chart and that chan gailey only plays the worst and shortest qb he can find really hurt threet's chances for PT.
How about Zoltan Mesko? He could take snaps, couldn't he? He is the Space Emperor of Space...

Here's some analysis on the Threet situation from that bastion of journalistic integrity, Jim Carty:

My son in the MMB sent me the thumbsnap photo in my previous post. Thought it appropriate for this thread. :)

OK, for those who missed it:

I'M SICK AND WOKE UP TOO LATE TO SUBMIT MY BRACKET!
NOOOOOOooooooooooo!!!!!!!!
In three years, when Michigan has adopted the RichRod offense, Terrelle will see that he shyed away from the immediate playing time for the comfortability of being groomed. RichRod will decimate the guy. And there's a kid out there who will be just as special on offense for us, Michigan always finds someone in the stable. This is one time where playing it safe, meaning picking the established program will HURT this recruit long term. You'll see why soon enough
Seeing as "potential" is the "future capacity to develop or improve", I'm afraid it's Terminal.
so, if that's the case,.........
i hope Bass will be back in the fall then.
Can't wait to see Pryor's (all-paid-for) Corvette in my parking lots.
Man, I smell like ass.
Sincerely,
You guys are really showing all the WVU fans how to get over their coach bolting for UM. If TP were going to UM the same people dogging him would be saying "he is the greatest, we will kick OSU's ass now!" hahaha. But I am sure RR will do just fine at UM. Just move on already, and enough with the University of Ohio State jokes, the kid was nervous as hell!
bucks#1, shut the hell up.
I really was thinking about coming to Michigan, but Ann Arbor sucks, the state sucks, and why RR was recruiting all of the OHIO leftovers, I want to play with the best players, thats why I chose OSU!!!!! YOU GUYS SUCK!!!!!!!!The domination continues! GO BUCKS!
ditto
losers
Wow, I can't wait to put the smack down on the UM in November. Just when did your football program crash? When Moeller got into a drunken fight outside of a bar? HaHa...
Hey bucks#1,
You wat sucky-sucky? $5. Me love you long time. Meet me in by dumpster (tUOS) in Columbus. You too, "Big 10 champs".
Your deep throat,
I knew you guys were Gay! GO BUCKS
At least I hope your gay. If not, then whose d!ck will I suck?
Nice try, gay meatchicken fan!
Yeah, you imposter! Everyone knows I like giving rimjobs instead of blowjobs. I call shenanigans!
