    Big fucking deal. Sports overlap. Practices or games 6 days a week. You think he had time to take visits? Maybe nobody else did either. That's why they have all the time they need.

    Andy Katzenmoyer laughed at that remark.

    Again, explain how he showed maturity in calling a press conference to announce where he is going, then still holding the press conference just to tell everybody he hadn't made up his mind yet. The way to show maturity would have been to call the thing off.

    At best, what he did shows that he is self-centered and thoughtless. Or perhaps the adults around him are and he's just going along with them. At worst, it shows him as intentionally fucking with people because he can. None of those options strike me as showing any maturity.

    Then again, based on your comment on classes at Michigan, perhaps you are just an Ohio State fanboy who can't help but make excuses for a potential future Buckeye.

    Actually, wasn't Mustang the Michigan fanboy who was spreading shit about OSU buying Pryor a corvette or something like that last month.

    On a similar note I was partaking in some substances with a University of Washington football player one night (I was not a reporter at the time) and asked him what his major was. He takes a hit off the mechanism and exhales while saying, "Eligibility"

    Screw all these schools and everyone who says Terrelle Pryor should have already decided where he's going to college.

    Why should he have to pick a college based on an arbitrary date set by the colleges themselves? He has to choose by National Signing Day just because ... it's National Signing Day?

    Hogwash.

    Terrelle Pryor, like any other prospective college student, can choose to go where he wants when he wants. He owes nobody his decision until the second he makes it. He doesn't owe the fanbois his decision. He doesn't owe the schools his decision; if they thought he did they should tell him to get lost and move on to their other prospects. Obviously they still want him to come. He doesn't owe the recruiting services his decision just so they can finally rate all the incoming players.

    Take your time, Terrelle. Everyone can wait.

    Fair enough, TSP.

    But will you feel that way if Pryor picks Michigan tomorrow?

    What's the difference if he picks Michigan tomorrow or last month? I could be mad either time!

    Ah, now there is the Ohio State fanboy. Notice he dodged the question rather than admit the only reason he is defending Pryor is because the kid is considering playing for his beloved Buckeyes.

    And TSP, Pryor is the one who set a date. And then changed his mind, but still held a press conference to announce nothing.
