Terrelle Pryor picks Ohio State to go play football
http://rivals100.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=787763
Quarterback Terrelle Pryor, the nation's No. 1 high school football player, has finally made his college choice.
When Signing Day arrived in February, the 6-foot-5, 235-pounder from Jeannette, Pa., wasn't ready to make his decision.

As time progressed, he knew he was headed to the Big Ten. However, he had yet to decide between Ohio State and Michigan. After much research and discussion, Pryor announced on Wednesday he's going to be a Buckeye.

"It was just the right fit," Pryor told Rivals.com late Tuesday night. "The coaches, the comfort level, the players and the signing class they had. I am very comfortable with all of it, and I became friendly with the other recruits throughout the process.

4. True, we've had that experience with Justin Zwick
:)
Not as embarassing though.

7. Zwick was caught up in a couple of things...
Primarily that he wasn't as athletic as Troy Smith. Zwick wasn't bad, though. If you remember, he won the Alamo Bowl against Oklahoma State, and played very well.

Troy Smith was just one of those once-in-a-generation type guys that luckily screwed his head on right before it was too late, and blossomed into an all time great.

But if Zwick hadn't fumbled on that last drive against Texas in the 'Shoe, and had lead them to a score, maybe Troy Smith wouldn't have been named the full time starter. Zwick played well in that game as well, right up until the fumble.

He was an ok quarterback and a nice guy just not the best thing since sliced bread like he was adverstised.

2. I'm a Michigan fan and I'm not crying over this
This guy has nowhere to go but down. Some of the best QBs in the game have been underrated at some point.

Of course, Michigan now has NO quarterback, but I suppose they'll figure something out before September!
