Media Day Linkage
August 8, 2008
*UPDATED*
As usual, the media were clamoring to get a shot and interview with Terrelle. Can you blame them? He’s gonna be something special by the time he’s done donning the scarlet and gray.
I’m excited because I can finally update this site’s header with some proper OSU-ness. Tight!
I’m sure there will be more press coverage of TP than I’ll be able to handle, so I’m just going to link it up here and talk about the more interesting topics later on. Cool?
Rivals Video – Listen to the man. Great head on his shoulder!
Pryor learning on, off field – Canton Rep’s take on TP being the center of attention and his relationship with Boecks
Pryor impresses at Ohio State – Pitt. Tribune-Review talks outlines the TP Show in the ‘Shoe yesterday. In short, he’s having a good time and soaking up the experience on and off the field. (Bonus pictures included)
Pryor not lacking attention – Newark Advocate paints more the same picture about the amount of attention TP received during media day. He also speaks about the difference in game speed at this level. Coaches and teammates share their thoughts as well.
Buckeyes looking to build on 2007 – Akron Beacon Journal’s views on the team’s outlook this season. Seniors staying and still trying to get better.
Scout.com put up a rundown of the media day, complete with some pictures and quotes

Short video interview from OSU official athletics website
Pryor handles big media blitz with deft touch – Dispatch’s take on the finesse with which Terrelle handles the spotlight. TP quote of the day: “I’m not a celebrity.” Au contraire…you are to Buckeye Nation, playa!
TP said all the right things during media day, and not because he’s the type to say what people want to hear. He’s sincere. A far cry from the “arrogant thug” title some of the media was trying to pin on him during his recruitment. I’ll be sure to send them some delicious crow to feast on. Perhaps some H2O to wash down their feet?
I’m tired. Enough of this!
Brew Crewin’: Posey Takes the 400 State Title
June 18, 2008
Brew Crewin’: Posey Takes the 400 State TitleIt’s time for another random post while I continue my search for the perfect WordPress theme for TPO. The bad news is I haven’t found one I’m in love with. The good news is that I have a few candidates I can tweek to my liking.
Now onto the Brew Crew madness. A week before he moved to Buckeye City, DeVier Posey played the role of workhorse for Cincy’s LaSalle High School. He contested the finals of the 100, 200, and 400 at the D1 state track meet. That makes me tired just thinking about all that. He turned in 4th place performances in the 100 and 200, but took the gold in the 400. Way to go, brah!
We all know the local news media loves them some Buckeyes, even before they step foot on campus, and it was no different during DP’s title run at the Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium. I capped some of the highlights and interviews and put together a little somepin’ somepin’ for y’all. Behold:

And how do I connect this to Terrelle? Other than the fact that DeVier is his classmate? Oh that’s easy! Not only are they BFFs, they are also roommates. Guys hate when you use the BFF term in reference to their friendships, but it was either that or forcing in the term bromance, so BFF it was. Whatever. You love it.
