Our local sports radio station, (The Sports Animal), was going over a list this morning of other coaches who had done basically the same thing Tressell has, not just football but basketball, baseball, mens and womens, Holy mackarel! It is a long and distinguished list. I don't remember most of the names but a lot of "known" names were on it.

One of them I'm sure your familiar with Rabbit was Ron Meyer, who left SMU just before they got the Death Penalty and got an NFL Head Coaching job. I knew Tressell wasn't alone but I had no idea the list was that long.

Ron Meyer was an early Jim Tressel or Pete Carroll. Nice guys, players always liked them but behind closed doors they were some super conniving son of a guns. Everyone always said, "Dang Meyer can flat recruit" but it turned out he was cheating the system better than the others at the time.

Heck, Meyer was the one who ordered the snow plow driver to go clear a path for his kicker in the infamous "SnowPlow Game" while he was the coach for the Patriots. Think he wasn't always dreaming up some way to cheat? Of course the team mutinied on him 2 years later. He always had one heck of an offensive scheme but once teams figured it out after 1 season of seeing it, it was useless in the NFL.

And now the snowball starts to get bigger as it is going to gain speed going down the hill. I can't imagine what is going to "come about" from other players down the road.

I just love how his HS school coach is defending him, waiting for him to trot out the line of, "It's cuz he's black ain't it?" Seeing more and more come out about Pryor, no way does he stay now, he's going to bolt.

When they were recruiting him, (Pryor), he was talking smack about how great he was going to be, and how they were going to be naming streets after him and retiring his jersey wherever he played, he was a real jerk, not that he's alone. It's a shame, he COULD have been one of the ALL time greats. He has ton's of talent and IS/WAS a great player. Somebody will take a chance on him just because of his talent. What the H*LL, he's probably leaving, going to make ton's of money, what does he care how he's remembered or leaving a descent legacy, AKA Reggie Bush.

And Pryor has bolted OSU. He is looking to get drafted in the NFL's Supplemental Draft if it happens or possibly head to the CFL or UFL if it doesn't happen. My thoughts on his decision, bad choice to skip out on the punishment when things got tough. That does not look good to NFL teams. It shows your not a leader and a QB is supposed to be a leader. I'm thinking he will be lucky to simply sign on as a free agent to the practice squad of an NFL team, he's gonna have to prove himself.

How many times have you seen a situation like this turning out good? It will be a miracle IF he even makes a team, I don't care how talented he is. His youth and attitude are working against him, IMHO

Outside The Lines on ESPN had a nice story about this mess. This is definitely the tip of the iceberg if all the info they gave out is true. The Talbott guy told ESPN that the former "friend" of Pryor was wrong on his info only to have OTL show that the friend was 100% correct via eBay.

Can you say No OSU for at least 5 Years. That is what a couple people I know are saying at another Big 10 School. The NCAA is going to make a HUGE example of of OSU and then tell the other Powerhouse schools we are going to come in and go over everything at your schools and we see anything close to what they had your getting the same thing. They are so sick of crap like this happening. They are also sick of of the ONE and DONE Colledge Basketball players.
