Better Know A Buckeye: Terrelle Pryor

At long last, I think I’m finished with this feature.  Next will be Michael Brewster, who I treat as the capstone of the class because it’s so eponymously named for him (the Brew Crew).  But on the topic of Terrelle Pryor, I’m not sure if he needed to be better known, since he was obsessed about moreso than any prep star in recent memory.  But alas, Terrelle Pryor, consider yourself better known… if you weren’t known enough already.  Godspeed in Columbus.  I’m sure the students there are more than happy to have you.

Whew, that was an ordeal to write.

    Dude. This is 27 pages single-spaced at .7 inch margins, when taking out the images.

    Dude.

    You’re not expecting anyone to read this, are you? This must be the longest post in the history of college football blogging. When was the last time you went out anyways?

    Wow. I now have plans for the evening.

    I’d give you two thumbs up, if I weren’t wasting my time giving my computer screen hand gestures. Great work, man.

    I love the SpaceBalls reference on page 18…….

    Hmm, I don’t know when the last time I got out was, but 27 pages single-spaced? That’s a little exorbitant even for me.

    Great article. I think you know more about Terrelle than he does. Thanks for all the hard work – this had to take a while to finish.

  8. 8 CL

    Wow. Amazing work. Now I’ll have something to do at my summer job tomorrow for a couple hours.

    Vico, you can now open the sweet nectar of Gods, Pabst Blue Ribbon, in a jubilant celebration.

    You have now reached “legend” status, my friend.

    Speaking of pp 18, is Strawberry Mansion not the coolest school name ever?

  12. 12 Ron

    Whew! I’m exhausted! I squandered an hour of my employer’s time, and still had to finish it at home. So many cool links to follow. Naturally, after getting my fix, I can only ask … nah, nevermind. Take a few days off, then we’ll all hit you up for the next, and last, BKAB.

    I think I’ve read about this somewhere else (if not, I can’t believe I’m the only one with the idea), but on the subject of the signing day postponement that got everybody so freaked out/made Terrelle look like an attention whore: it seems reasonable to assume that TP knew where he was going but didn’t want to deal with hostile crowds at PSU during the state basketball tourney and simply waited till after it was over to announce.

    That was a monster of a piece, nice work.

  15. 15 scott

    My cat’s name is Terrelle.

  16. 16 Keith C.

    Fantastic piece. Incredibly researched and supported. I learned many new things. Kudos.

    That was a great post and this has been a great series, now i can’t wait for the last one.

    Oh, I forgot to include this: http://www.pittsburghsportsinsider.com/?p=1095

    Take a look at what Joe Paterno (allegedly) told Terrelle Pryor early into his recruitment.

    and lastly: http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/07241/812755-365.stm
    - pay careful attention to the stories of him stealing the ball of the tee, and hurdling a would-be tackler at the 5 yard line and landing 3 yards in the end zone.

    Dude, you made it onto The Big Lead and SI’s Campus Clicks.

    Dude.

    Bandwidth gets chewed through, but no one’s contributed to the Give Us Money Campaign. That gets a dismayed “Dude”.
