Twitter Alert!
November 7, 2009
I’m not 100% sure what happened, but yesterday the TPO twitter account was deleted. My best guess is that it was hacked and the spam was sent out (If that was the case, please let me know!). In the meantime, I’ve gone ahead and signed up again, same username: terrellepryor. And again, because I feel many lack reading comprehension, this is an unofficial Twitter account. If you want to follow TP himself, good luck. He has to approve you first!
So now I gotta start all over again! Sorry about the inconvenience!
Head’s Up: Terrelle-Pryor.org Expiring!
May 30, 2009
This has nothing to do with TP, just this domain. This site may be forced to switch domains in the coming days. I registered Terrelle-Pryor.org at Yahoo! last year and it is expiring in a few weeks. However, Yahoo!’s renewal features a ridiculously high fee of $34.95 that they charge weeks before the domain expires. And they only tell you days before the charge date, so it’s practically too late to move to a new registrar. I’m trying, but I’m not sure the switch will go through before I cancel the plan. I refuse to pay $35 for any domain; especially when most can be purchased for less than $10.
So, come Monday, if the URL terrelle-pryor.org no longer works, please use terrelle-pryor.com. I don’t think it works right now, but definitely will Monday, if Yahoo! screws me over; and I have a feeling they will! Just bookmark terrelle-pryor.com and you’ll be set!
I just wanted to let everyone know beforehand so if you try to visit on Monday and the domain doesn’t work, that’s why. I’ll also keep my Twitter followers up-to-speed on the situation.
Moral of the story: Don’t buy domains from Yahoo! Small Business, even if they’re only $1.99/yr.
Merry Christmas

Hoping the visitors of TPO had a wonderful Christmas today. And if you do not celebrate Christmas, Happy Holidays to you too.
I am also sharing one of my favorite TV Christmas moments , courtesy of South Park. Enjoy!

Still Tinkering
December 22, 2008
As you can see, this is a new look for TPO. It’s not 100% the way I want it and that’s because IE sucks. I don’t even know why people bother using it; it’s the devil. You should all get with the program, join the internet revolution, and download Firefox. I mean, really. It’s not 1999. Time to upgrade!
I had the site looking exactly the way I wanted…on Firefox. Then I opened up the evil Internet Explorer to see how it looked over there, and it I was greeted with broken code and non-matching css. Then I’d fix it on IE and Firefox would display the theme poorly. I spent a crapload of time tweaking this theme (which was originally wedding themed) and I’m thisclose to saying “screw you!” to IE users. Seriously. I’m not sure I can make it work for both.
So, what you see now is the half-way point between what I want and what needs to be provided so IE users can view the site. I am a web designer by trade and “settling” is not something I like doing. So don’t be surprised if this theme gets dumped in favor of one that works on both IE and Firefox. It’ll piss me off and suck up more of my free time, but I guess that’s the price one pays for perfection!
What I think I’m going to do is continue tinkering for another day or so. Maybe I’ll fix the inconsistencies. Or maybe I’ll just become “ok” with the site the way it is. Maybe I’ll throw my computer out the window and become a Michigan fan. Nah, just kidding. Regardless, I’ll let everyone know what I do in the next day or so.
Stay tuned!
P.S. Seriously, though. Do yourself a favor and get Firefox.
Happy Thanksgiving!
November 27, 2008
Just a quick post to wish the readers of TPO a very wonderful and blessed Thanksgiving Day today. We all have a lot to be thankful for. Also, I hope you are able to stuff yourself with as much delicious Turkey as possible.
Here are some random things that don’t fit anywhere else, so I’ll just stick them in this post.
1.) People have been looking for that cheap shot on TP after his INT against Michigan. It wasn’t clearly shown in the ABC broadcast (go fig), but it was shown in its entirety during the Buckeye Football Fever post show. I incorrectly called out Morgan Trent on that hit. And although, he was standing around flapping his gums afterwards, it wasn’t him. It was his teammate, and fellow punk, Jonas Mouton. Check it out below.
Yes, Terrelle did flop a little, but it was still an extremely late and unnecessary hit. They can savor that hit, I guess. At the end of the day, we beat the snot out of them and sent them back to Ann Arbor with one of the worst losses in the history of The Game.
2.) TPO is now on Twitter. People have been talking about Twittering for almost a year now, and I thought it was time to jump on that bandwagon and see what the fuss was about.
It’s basically a mix between a mini-blog, Facebook Status updates, and an RSS feed. I know it sounds confusing, but it’s really not. With your own Twitter account, you can “follow” my account for TPO and get updated when I post a blog. Those updates can go to your email or even to your phone via text. Also, if I have a quick bit of news to report, or just wish to share an article, I can do so there without blogging here. Just another way to stay up-to-date with the latest happenings. Aint technology grand?!
And really, Twitter is a big deal. Facebook wants to buy it. You know Facebook would not get involved if it weren’t a worldwide sensation! So check it out!
Coming Soon: ‘Under The Lights’ Video
June 26, 2008
Back in April (I think) FSN aired a special on Terrelle on their “Under The Lights” program. Basically a more in-depth look at the phenomenon that is the Terrelle Pryor machine and his crazy recruitment.
I recorded it with my PVR (DVR for computer) and forgot about it until I was just now cleaning out some of my hard drive.
So, I will start to go through the program, cut out the commercials, and post it up here in case you missed it.
Cool? Cool.
I can’t promise when this is going to happen because I’m fixin’ to go out of town for 10 days. I may post 1 part before I go, then torture you and post the rest of the parts when I get back. I’m evil like that. You’ll just have to wait and see!
So Fresh & So Clean
June 22, 2008
So this is the customized new theme for TPO. Personally, I think it’s tight.
Still got a little bit of work to do with the sidebar because this theme isn’t widget-friendly, but I’ll get it together soon. Trust.
Progress Report No. 2
June 21, 2008
It’s funny how staring at a design for a couple of days totally changes your mind on things.
Suddenly I’m not so crazy about the header. Portions of it I still love, but not the work in total.
But no worries. I have ideas and will tinker later tonight.
Stay tuned.
Progress Report No. 1
June 16, 2008
So, I went ahead and installed some plugins for the site. I’m a Wordpress nerd and there are a number of plugins that I cannot live without, so they have been added to the site and I already feel better. No, I don’t care how you feel.
Right now, I’m browsing through the never-ending list of Themes, looking for one to jump out at me. This theme will need to have a nice header, which I will replace with my own creation because I’m quite good with teh photoshop. It’s a gift.
I’ve seen other blogs set up YouTube accounts to supplement their websites, but I’ve found that the YouTube nazis who go around looking for copyright violations piss me off entirely too much to invest time in a YouTube Channel. I’ve got the tools to upload and maintain my own video vault here, so that’s what I’ma do.
And to make this post apply to Terrelle — if only for 1 sentence — I hope his first day of college classes went well. I used to love me those 1st days. You show up, get your syllabus, then chunk the deuce; freeing yourself for more rewarding activities. Ah, college.
ETA: Temporary theme. Hate it, but it’s better than WordPress default. Will be keeping the header though. Love that.
Oh Hai There…
June 14, 2008
Welcome to Terrelle Pryor Online! I hope you packed your swagger, because it is a requirement for browsing this site.
If you don’t have any swagger, I suggest you go read up on legend that is TP and cultivate your own. You’ll miss out on the wide reach of this website’s content without it.
Oh and haters to the left.
P.S. I know the site is look mad ghetto right now. I’m working on it. My profession just so happens to be web design, so I’ll get this place looking fly in no time. Gimme a week or so, aight?
