Best thing for both sides. Wish him well because he is and always will be a Buckeye, just hope he can improve his attitude and make better life decisions. Talent was never worth the hassle

This begs the inevitable question...was he worth it?

Only time (NCAA sanctions and new coach) will tell.

I would say no. He was an incredible athletic talent and a good college qb, but he was not worth everything that has happened during his time at OSU.

Definately not. What did he bring to OSU? No national title, and leaving the program in shambles. Tressel is a BIG part of the blame for not controlling him. But Pryor made his bed as well. This was the best decision for all involved.

Was he worth it? Of course. Pryor was not alone in what he did. Meaning, him never being here does not mean Tressel would still be coach.

That's absurd. He brought TWO BCS wins to Ohio State..you can't expect to win a national title with every recruiting class. He didn't leave the program in shambles. They'll have to vacate last year most likely but will keep the Arkansas win. They'll lose a few scholarships MAYBE. The program isn't in shambles. Even if you wanted to call the program in shambles, it's more Tressel's fault than Pryors.

Maybe, maybe not. That's a question we'll never know the answer to for sure. Many thought Pryor was the ring-leader of the Tat-5.

Looking at his trophy case you'd never know it.

Imagine the team this coming year if none of this happened. TP would have got his national title.

No one is arguing his results on the field. The question is whether his actions of the field outweighed them.

Take it for what it's worth, but this same person called me about the possible suspensions prior to the Sugar Bowl for players who were receiving tattoos in exchange for memorabilia--two days before it hit the airwaves. We shall see.

wow--my guy's two for two---BFD :(

He was not. Pryor had not cleaned out his locker at that time. This coming straight from the mouth of the guy who drove him to the BMV and has (had) a locker right next to Pryor's

Pryor made the decision this morning. I had said he was gone, but it wasn't based off of anything but my personal opinion.

But, you were. You said on 6/2 that he cleaned out his locker. That was incorrect. He did not clean out his locker until today, after he made the decision to leave. Once again, coming from, you know, the guy who's locker is right next to his and helped him clean it out lol.

BTW, if you wanna play that game (going off of that post about Pryor cleaning out his locker) I said I thought Pryor was gone in the Archie thread 5 1/2 hours before your post
