Jim Tressel Resigns

[Monkeydad]

Good, I hate OSU. Maybe this will shut their fans up for a few years. They've become like the Boston Red Sox fans of college football.

I used to have respect for Tressel. He did and said the right things but he's no Tony Dungee aparently...this problem was more widespread than we ever thought.

Pryor won't have to come back now and I doubt he will. Tressel made his suspended players promise to come back after their 5 games as part of their "plea deal" to play in the bowl game last year...to delay their punishment so the university still had a shot at winning and getting paid. That struck a bad cord with me then and I was never a huge fan of Pryor, but now it seems his whole team was out of control. Where was the AD's oversight in all of this? Nowhere. I guess Tressel had a big enough presence to get a free, unmonitored pass at running the show. Bad idea with anyone.

Next years class, always better

Still we can get him in the supplemental draft for a late round pick. I personally think he's a better pro prospect then Newton as Newton only had one year starting and put up his numbers in a spread offense. Pryor put up 27 TD's 11 Int's and a 65% completion rate in a pro style offense. Mobile, strong armed, and now possibly accurate.

Of course fringe members of a certain site are suggesting that Pryor play WR or CB in the NFL (Passive Aggressive FTW)
