With all of the crap that's going on. Is one of the main people involved in the drug trafficing scandal T.Pryor? If so, does this kind of make you motr upset at him for the trouble he has brought also?

None of the players were involved in drug trafficking, that was the shop owner.

glad you asked this set of questions. the drug trafficking thing was brought up, but never thoroughly explained.



FOR LJ:

just so i'm 100% correct in my thinking, the act of selling the stuff is not a crime. so when you say "yes, that is their only connection to any actual criminal activity." you just mean that is how their name got brought up in the investigation of the actual crime. the players (as far as we know, because at this point i'm not shocked by anything) have never done anything illegal, just broke NCAA bylaws. <------------------ Is this correct??

I know you are asking LJ, but yes, that's my understanding as well.

Even though this is not all his fault, I still do not see why some OSU fans are so high on him. Sure he beats Michigan but I think any average QB would have beat them the past 3 years. Michigan has been bad all 3 years TP has been there IMO so big deal? MSU's QB's have also beat UM 3 times now and they are thought of as great QB's.

Of course its aways good to crush UM....its not a major goal anymore for OSU fans. Plain and simple, I want BCS Ws.

He broke many OSU passer and offensive records in 3 years and won 2 BCS MVPs. That isn't average.

I disagree. OSU has a great team year in and year out and they would have gotten another good QB in the 3 years he was there. Also my comment was more toward beating Michigan and I really do not see how that is such a big accomplishment seeing as they have been sub 500 in the time he has been at OSU.

I never said he is average I think he is good but that's it. He is not as great as many of you think IMO. I was just stating an average QB would have beat those Michigan teams.

This is at least the 3rd time you've made these comments about Pryor. He's an above average physical freak with who is lacking some smarts.

Hes 30-4 as a starter, 2-1 in BCS games, owns several OSU records, and undefeated against Michigan. Thats not opinion, its fact.

Actually I think he is better than many people on here give him credit for.

Are you serious? It's not just the UM wins, it's the 3 Big Ten championships, 2 BCS Bowl wins and MVPs, and numerous highlights he displays every Saturday.

He is basically going to go down as one of the greatest offensive players to ever play at OSU because of what he's done in the record books.

Those are team numbers and I still feel an average QB would have put up very similar numbers.

I will give you the highlights but all those numbers were there before he got there. Troy Smith did just as good IMO yet he is viewed as no TP.
