Take That, Michigan!: Terrelle Pryor Picks Ohio State, Buckeyes Rejoice

Terrelle Pryor had a decision to make:

Do I go to Michigan and lose to Ohio State every season?  Or do I go to Ohio State and lose to some SEC team in the BCS Title game every season? 

He chose the latter—and is now the apparent quarterback of the future for the Ohio State Buckeyes.

Too bad Jim Tressel has no idea what to do with a good quarterback. 

Not that any of us have any idea whether or not he actually is a good quarterback. 

Just because Rivals.com says it's so, doesn't make it gospel. Terrelle Pryor could be the next Tim Tebow, but he could also be the next Rocky Hinds.

The pressure put on these kids to become immediate superheros just because they dominated high school is out of control. Some live up to the hype, some fold under the pressure.

Some just weren't that good in the first place.

Look people, I was an OK defensive back in high school.  I’m 5'8" and it takes me about six second to run 40 yards.

Basically, I’m the white Ellis Hobbs.

Anyway, point is, if I can be OK in high school at any position on the football field, then high school isn’t a great measure of football talent.

Some questions worth pondering...

Does the commitment of Terrelle Pryor make Ohio State the odds on favorite to win the next few BCS Titles? 

No, but the convoluted and broken BCS system and the overrated Big Ten already made them the favorites to get to the National Championship Game. 

Once there, anything’s possible for Ohio State—except beating Florida, of course.

Does Todd Boeckman ride the bench his senior season after taking the Buckeyes to the National Championship Game in his junior year?

I don’t think so. 

Tressel will have some packages specifically for the freshman, but you can’t sit a senior who just led your team to the BCS title game. 

Especially if you’re an old fashioned coach like Tressel (just look at the sweater vest...doesn't get any more old fashioned than that).

Is SeanMC happy that he randomly chose Ohio State as his college football team because of his random hatred for Doug Flutie and everything he represents (including his college)? 

Absolutely.  I’m a front runner.  My buddy, who is one of those crazy Ohio State fans, swears to me that Wednesday was better than Christmas for us.

Is SeanMC excited to see what losing out on Pryor does to Michigan's offense?  Especially considering that he's pretty sure he can play quarterback as well as anyone on their roster?

You bet. 

ESPN said that once he officially accepted the job as Michigan head coach, Rich Rodriguez’s first call was to Pryor. 

Before he even told his own team, he called Pryor and began recruiting him to Michigan.  He put everything he had into recruiting that kid. 

And instead of becoming his new quarterback, in an offense that he’s reportedly perfect for, he chose to go play at THE Ohio State. 

I couldn’t have written a better script.

I’m SeanMC.
