	I am just loveing these lines "Wait. Nike deal? That would make our new BMOC a professional. We'll pause for a moment while those of you who believe that Pryor hasn't been, ahem, "well taken care of" catch up. " Then this one to cover himself "This is not a specific indictment of Nike, Ohio State or anyone else. We don't have names, just common sense." USC lands how many running backs in the same recruiting class and the only thing that is mentioned is how good of a recruiter caroll must be. Ohio State lands the #1 recruit and suddenly he must be getting paid, i mean why else would he go to Ohio State? I just LOVE to hate dodd's articles.

	I will say that talking to a friend of mine from Pennsylvania, rumor has it that the only reason he picked Ohio State over Michigan is that Ohio State awarded a full scholarship to Pryor's girlfriend. Has anybody else heard this rumor? I am in no way stating a fact, I am just trying to find out if there is nay truth to this rumor.

	Dodd is just yanking the Buckeye Chain so to speak. He knows it is the off season and he knows there are over four thousand registered OSU fans on this site.

	We can always count on Dodd for unbiased reporting!

	The other Dodd line that caught my eye was: "Finally, I've said it before: Pryor toyed with 2A competition in Pennsylvania. I would have loved to have seen him play more against large-class schools. None of us have seen him against major-college competition." Didn't Terrelle Pryor win game MVP honors at the US Army All-American Game? Or is Dodd trying to imply that all of those high school All-Americans were not major-college caliber?

	Now, did you you really expect Dudd to post an article praising the Buckeyes? He's so predictable with his OSU hate it's not even funny.

	As a buckeye i love this kind of stuff. Itseems like so many people love to hate the buckeyes. Which means they are either intimidated by how the buckeyes play year in and year out or respect thebuckeyes. They usually cover it up by saying how they just hate the fans and thats why they do it, or that the the buckeyes suck and cant win big games. But honestly any true buckeye knows otherwise.

	I never give Dodd credit, but I thought this was a great article. Very well written. I do not think that he is making the point that you got out of the article. I think more importantly he is making a comment about the hype that we put on one player out of high school in such a team sport. Everyone know that Pryor will have a great impact on the college football and it is great to see that he will do it with the Buckeyes. However, he has challenges in front of him and many of those are unfairly put on him from the fans and media. He has to overcome attitude issues and if he can do it at a place that is as football crazy as Ohio State that may be all the hype he has to live up to. If he can stay clean for three years in Columbus he will have all the tools necessary to take the next step into the NFL.

	After what Jim Tressel did to Troy Smith there is noone else that i would want to see sculpting this kid into a professional caliber QB. If he does turn out to be a problem then we have had to deal with that before.
