'08 PA QB/ATH Terrelle Pryor (Ohio State Verbal)

[BDIrish4ever]

Anybody see this? He's down to OSU and PSU. DickRod currently has approximately zero QB options for next year ...

The four stages for an Irish fan on DickRod's situation at QB:

1.
2.
3.
4.

Thanks for the reps ND=NC

They will design the spread around his abilities, and 3* QB committ Justin Feagin will come in a Tebow like role. I know some people at UM and my friends cousin is a walk-on there. This is what most people think is going to happen.

2*, not 3. And they think he is the next Tebow

Supposedly, they are looking at a kid that red-shirted last season as the possible QB next year. I believe that his name is Threat, but I'm not sure. I hoped scUM falls on their face on this one!!!

SO you are saying we should beat them this year? Maybe if they play Appy again they will be the dog.

I would never say were going to beat Michigan. I dont want to get dissapointed. Ya know since they usually beat us 7 out of 10 times. and the last 2 games they pretty much made us look like a rocket football team.

 

[notredomer23]

SO you are saying we should beat them this year? Maybe if they play Appy again they will be the dog.

we will easily beat them. Bank it

 

[WeisWeisBaby]

I think we are going to win this one too, Michigan will suffer a year very similar to our year this time.

 

[JeremyND07]

I am going to wait and see what we look like against San Diego State before I predict a win against Michigan! I still think 6 or 7 wins and a small bowl birth and win next year is the best we can hope for with the way we played last year!

 

[fitz_bu47]

Wrong. I predict undefeated season, Charlie Weis coach of the century, and probably 3-4 players per game killed on the teams we play all by one man-----Chris Stewart!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[WeisWeisBaby]

I second that, not only will we defeat every single team by more than 40 points... but Omar Hunter is going to transfer to ND and personally become the Leprachaun for all games just so he can get close to this football team.

 

[phork]

Don't forget Mike Martin.

 

[NDOM]

Don't forget Mike Martin.

LOL. I love it.

The second made a major mistake. He put his hands on a policemen attempting to escort him from the stands.

Considering the things that are said during basketball games, imagine what those two uttered


Probably something along the lines of "DONT TASE ME BRO!"

 

[phork]

Someone get the Waaaaaambulance.

 

[bert2834]

I bet this kid becomes the next Ron Paulus. All the hype for nothing. I personally think Ron just played in the wrong system. Either way, I do not believe he will ever make it to the NFL.

Pryor: Needs to relax, ignore taunting because it's only going to get worse
Mike Kovak
Continued from Page C1

a student body being nice to a young man who drew nine television trucks to Jeannette on signing day, when Pryor decided not to decide.

His talents command that type of attention, whether he wants it or not. His talents also command unwanted attention, from hangers-on to a constant stream of autograph seekers.

Judging from Pryor's actions, the biggest pain comes on the basketball court, where the opposition's fan base harasses Pryor nonstop.

The students at South Fayette got their turn Saturday afternoon, and by the end of Jeannette's 64-54 overtime win in the WPIAL Class AA quarterfinals at Baldwin High School, it showed just how ugly the circus has become.

Given Pryor's stature, he's prone to abuse, particularly in the intimate setting of a basketball court. The Lions' student section certainly came prepared.

One student dressed in a red sweater vest - think Ohio State football coach Jim Tressel. Each time Pryor took his position for free throws, he heard it.

"Hey, Pryor, look, it's Jim Tressel."

"Here's your daddy for the next four years."

Score points for creativity, but the taunting didn't work. Pryor scored 24 points to go with 21 rebounds, seven blocked shots and six assists.

As pretty as Pryor's play was, things went from humorous to ugly as the game progressed.

In a tension-packed game befitting a championship stage instead of a quarterfinal matchup, Pryor jawed at the South Fayette students. His actions only incited them further.

Two South Fayette students were ejected from the gymnasium during the fourth quarter. The first left peacefully as the Jeannette fans cheered. The second made a major mistake. He put his hands on a policemen attempting to escort him from the stands.

Considering the things that are said during basketball games, imagine what those two uttered.

As dumb as they were, Pryor topped them after Jeannette pulled away in the overtime.

He continued his dialogue with fans. Then, after postgame handshakes, Pryor immediately went toward the student section.

Following a ridiculous, prolonged exchange, Pryor's teammates intervened. Why they didn't stop him before is unknown. Why his coaches allowed it to happen is an even greater injustice.

Officials escorted Pryor and Jeannette toward the locker room, where the two teams were side by side.

The situation wasn't over, and the nation's most recognized high school athlete does not realize his good fortune.

Because of overcrowded conditions at press row, I headed back toward the locker rooms a little earlier than normal, several minutes before other media members covering the game.

A crowd formed around the locker rooms and, to the credit of two members of the Whitehall Police Department and site officials, they were dispersed. I was permitted to stay and overheard some interesting conversations.

According to what one officer said into his walkie-talkie, the physically aggressive South Fayette student was being detained in a room at the school, and his day was minutes away from getting worse.

That's when a Jeannette assistant exited the Jayhawks' locker and complained about the conduct of the South Fayette students. That's something he had a right to do.

One officer, however, did not appreciate the direction of the conversation. He was present when Pryor accosted the South Fayette fans.

"You're lucky we didn't take your kid (Pryor) in," the officer said. "He threatened to go into the crowd."

The tough-talking officer reiterated his stance. The Jeannette assistant wisely backed into the locker room.

And, after an extended conversation with South Fayette coach Rich Bonnaure, I headed inside the Jeannette locker room. That's where Jayhawks coach Jim Nesser talked about how at-ease Pryor became since his decision to delay his decision.

Oh, yeah?

Pryor's on-court actions contradict those remarks.

Sometime, over the next few weeks, Pryor will announce where he intends to play college football. The decision will draw national coverage. The instant he makes it, he'll become the most hated player in the Big Ten , assuming he selects Ohio State, Michigan or Penn State.

But if Pryor can't handle what a small group of South Fayette students had to say, chances are he can't handle a trip to the Big House or Happy Valley as an oppsoing player.

Shocker...

I hope wherever he goes that some coach knocks his ass down a few pegs.

Without even knowing what was said?

I will remind you guys, Terrelle does have a crippled father. I'm not going to pretend to know what was said, but I've heard and read about horrible things said at high school baskeball games, even including making fun of the fact of kids dying in a car crash.

There are things that people have said or could say to me that would certainly make my blood boil, and I imagine that's the same for a lot of people here.

To call a kid a "dumbass" is just ridiculous and immature.

There are a few issues with this story: First and foremost in my opinion, is the ridiculous amount of media attention the kid is getting. He's 18 for Pete's sake and hasn't done anything outside of the second smallest high school division in PA yet - isn't the media attention a little excessive? Second, his b-ball coaches need to keep his head in the game. I played point guard at my high school, which also happened to be in the WPIAL (same as Pryor's), but my high school was in the smallest division...or else I wouldn't have made the team! But that's beside the point. Even at those games of smallest consequences there was always trash-talking coming from the opponents' fans and you could hear nearly everything that was being said. It happens, live with it. His coaches need to have this converstation with him and he needs to channel those comments from the crowd into motivation...not retaliation.

I'd feel bad for the kid if he didn't ask for all the media attention by making an announcement to not commit anywhere. If you think you're that big of a deal, you better act like you're that big of a deal. That being said, I don't wish anything bad on the kid - he's a kid and kid's do dumb things. It's part of growing up. He hasn't done anything of consequence to this point that warrants any type of perceived "justice" in my eyes. Let the kid live his life and make his own decisions and we'll all be better off for it.

I think he is the one who keeps the media going... why would you set up a press conference to announce he has not decided yet instead of just releasing a statement... I dont know the kid but I have yet to hear a thing about him that tells me he is anything but an attention monger... I hope I am wrong because he is way to young to be that big of a tool ....

He's going to have to deal with a lot worse than in college. I remember when Steve Kerr played at U of A his father had recently been killed and HE WAS TAUNTED ABOUT HIS FATHERS DEATH. That's horrible. You never heard any stories about him losing his head did you? Look at Steve Kerr though, he's a classy guy.

Just brush it off, there's a reason why they're taunting you; that's all you need to know. Smile and keep going.

And Kerr should be commended on that because that takes a lot of inner strength. However, I don't think Pryor should be called a "dumbass" for doing nothing more than verbally confronting hecklers. Should he have even done that? Not in my opinion, but he never got physical and no one here knows what was said by either party, so the name calling is unnecessary IMO.

 

[KamaraPolice]

True, but in the long run no sense in defending him, he's going to Penn State.
