Pryor Earns Top State Honors In a not so shocking announcement, All-World QB Terrelle Pryor was named Pennsylvania's Class AA Player of the Year after leading his Jeannette squad to 16-0 record and a state title. The 3 time all-state selection accounted for 58 TD's this season bringing his career total to 125 touchdowns. Sick.
Still no word on where he plans to play next season, but at least Buckeye recruit (and early arrival) OL Michael Brewster will get one last crack at persuading Pryor to commit to Columbus. Brewster has long been lobbying undecided blue chippers to join the Buckeyes impressive 2008 incoming class and DeathRattleSports claims Brewster is rooming with Pryor at the upcoming US Army All-American Game. Godspeed, Brewster. Godspeed.
Crater Preparing To Lead Matta's Offense In 2008 Mlive.com caught up with Buckeye signee Noopy Crater producing an excellent piece on Matta's next true point guard. At Matta's (and others) behest, Crater left his hometown of Flint and Southwestern Academy after his junior season in search of a more challenging scene, both academically and on the court, in addition to providing him an environment with no drugs and gun play.
Enter Brewster Academy, a basketball factory in the middle of New Hampshire. Crater is now reaping the benefits of a structured schedule, college prep classes, and the opportunity of playing with and against fellow D-1 recruits in a league that offers a 36 game schedule, before playoffs.
Crater has responded favorably to the increased competition leading Brewster to an 11-1 record averaging 8.5 assists and 9.0 points. He's turning heads with his basketball IQ and ability to find the open man. For icing on the cake, he's also growing tired of his lame nickname "Noopy". Thank God. (HT: Bob Baptist)
Sick Of The Buckeyes? That's what Matt Tullis of the Columbus Dispatch wants to know. He's looking to interview folks who just can't stand what's been going on in Buckeye land the last six years. I would like to give him benefit of the doubt by assuming he was assigned this piece by his editor, but I can't because if my editor assigned me a story like that, I'd take a dump on his desk on my way to the unemployment line. So, who wants to call this guy and pretend they hate OSU? Wil? Hal3?
Comments
I really dislike the Columbus Dispatch. It's all I can do sometimes to bite my tongue while reading it. One longs for the days when the Citizen-Journal was around.
For me, it depends on the writer. I think Baptist does a pretty good with hoops. I'm not a big fan of Arace or Hunter, tho.
I delivered the CJ up until they folded and forced me into retirement. No way I was lugging the Sunday Dispatch on my bike so it was an easy decision.

I'm right there with you.
I'm starting a fund to have hookers and blow delivered to Pryor and Brewster's room in San Antonio. Who's with me?
Let me know if you need any help picking out the hookers I know where to get the really good deals.
Hang on Noopy, Noopy hang on!
Are you kidding me? That's the best Buckeye nickname evah.
Chris, I was practicing my fake interview at work today and just couldn't do it....I ended up throwing up on my desk twice and pooping myself when I tried to say that I was sicckk of OHHHHiiiihaghkghd, sick of Ohhhiifahfjia, sick of aaaa...aaaaa....aaaalllll of the over-rated, ridiculous, unsubstantiated SEC superior speed propaganda that is currently being over hyped by the media.
I'm sorry, I just can't say it. Maybe Hal3 will have better luck.
jenkins officially decommited from west va so its looking good for osu
Jenkins' decommitment from WVU is huge! He claims OSU is the leader right now, but landing him would give the Vest 4 of the nation's top 15 OL. Pryor can do what he wants, but knowing the line he would have has to weigh in heavily. Jimmy T. is up to his ol' tricks, pulling in another stellar unit. The machine is rolling and I don't see it slowing down for years to come. It still doesn't sink in sometimes that OSU is playing their 3rd BCS title game in six years!
does anyone have access to the full Bucknuts story? I'd love to read the full scoop.
johnny simon just commited!
"I delivered the CJ up until they folded and forced me into retirement. No way I was lugging the Sunday Dispatch on my bike so it was an easy decision."
I delivered the CJ for about a year back in the late 70's. It was fun for a while but eventually I got tired of getting up at 5:00 AM and I didn't really need the money because I wasn't driving yet. But I also delivered the Dispatch on Saturdays to help out a friend. I never read the paper back then (except the comics) so I can't really remember if their sports section was better than the Dispatch. But I definitely come here first when looking for Buckeye Sports.
Clarification-
Brewster is injured so he can't go up to San Antonio until later (per the rules).
Word is another OSU commit is trying to room with him. We'll see...
Thanks for the update, Lloyds Apple...keep us posted!
