A few local sports radio jocks were trying to make something of Tressel's announcement that Terrelle Pryor would not be among the three players he is taking to the Big Ten luncheon the first week in August. He's taking 3 seniors ... I see no controversy.
Going are Cameron Heyward, consensus top 5 pick in next year's draft and hands down captain; Dane Sanzenbacher, likely a solid NFL prospect and likely captain; and Bryant Browning, senior linemen. I feel sorry for Browning because he is a bit of a fish out of water ... I mean who wants to talk to an O-lineman. He will probably field a lot of questions about Terrelle, as will Sanzenbacher. But here's the thing ... the three Tress is bringing are proven to be articulate, reserved, concise in their comments, and team-guys. None of these guys is going to stray from the script. Cameron is actually quite engaging and Dane, well he's darn hot.
So why is Terrelle staying in C-bus? Well, short of Tress or the SID sitting next to Terrelle at every interview with a hand firmly planted on his thigh such that if he even breathes off script he feels a sharp pain, he's still a loose cannon. Take his pre-Rose Bowl interview. Did anyone need to know about his knee injury? And you know that the questions will be filled with pre-season team hype, Heisman hype, and attempts to get him to tell us again that "everyone murders" ...
So Terrelle is continuing to stay tight to the weight room at the Woody Hayes while his three teammates head to Chicago. And there will be no shortage of questions ...
