A "special shoutout" are you kidding me , the guy lost one of the best jobs in the nation because of Mr. Pryor, but he's going to give him a "shoutout" because, you know, coach Tressel is now one of the boys, maybe he will become part of the entourage and hang out.
After a great bottle of Shiraz tonight I may regret this comment tomorrow, but here goes. In working through my hatred for Reggie Bush, I've come to accept that much of USC's trouble was its own fault because boys will be boys and it's up to the adults in charge to keep the boat afloat.
The world is full of hedonistic young adults with no thought to consequences and how they can affect one's future. IMO Pryor's behavior was not that unique for a young man suddenly trying to grasp what he thought was a piece of the good life.
TP clearly didn't appreciate the responsibilities that went with his public persona as a face of tOSU, but was that failure his for not listening to what he was told, or - knowing boys will be boys - was it the failure of those tasked with counselling him? In justifying the Tat5's bowl eligibility, the university argued they hadn't been properly schooled about expectations.
In this case there was at least one mature adult who could have directed events to a less tragic outcome even after the violations occurred. Pryor may have handed Tressel a loaded gun, but he didn't force him to shoot himself in the foot.

That describes the OSU mess perfectly.

+1, because of his position, Tressel's handling of this situation far outweigh the blunders of Pryor.And as far as 'buying' Pryor's apology? So what! The dude is moving on and offered some kind words on his way out, I absolutely believe he was sincere in some of the things he said. Would it have been preferable if Pryor took the Mo Clarrett approach and blasted the program/throwing others under the bus?Idiot cynics will pick apart anything and place the blame anywhere to suit their opinions.
I blame Canada... Its the beady little eyes that showcase the evil that lies there.

Great comment..It is always about personal responsibility....they all knew what they were doing, at least RB has a career I don't think TP will do that well in the pros ..maybe a good tight end..not a QB...

I think you could put Pryor and Clarett in the same canoe on the Olentangey and if it sank there would be applause heard all through the state of Ohio.

Pryor and Clarett care about the Ohio State University about the same as any TSUN fan. They used the football team for their personal agendas.Yeah! They are always sorry after the fact!

+1, the better question is does TP care if anyone accepts it or was this strictly for his PR front?
