Part of me wants him to do really well because of being a Buckeye, but part of me wants him to fall flat on his face because he's still being a jerk about it sometimes in the things he says.

I think TP has grown up big time. If you listen to his press conferences, he takes responsibility on everything. Perfect example is after game 1 this year. Everyone was happy with how he played and giving him big props. TP after the game said he was awful. He could've won them the game but didn't.
That is a QB taking responsibility right there on the loss.
“I could’ve helped win the game and didn’t,” Pryor said, via Scott Bair of CSNBayArea.com. “We had ‘em on the ropes and we didn’t knock them out. The record is all that matters to me. I don’t care what my numbers are. I just want to do well for the team, and I didn’t do well enough. What happened today was unacceptable, and that’s on me.”

Wasn't it earlier this year where he said to the press that no one had taught him how to throw until he got to the Raiders?

Via The Columbus Dispatch:
“That’s my school, but they don’t really accept me,” Pryor said. “I’ve moved on to what I have now, and that’s just football… Those guys kicked me out of school after all those things I did for them.”
I am actually planning on watching it. I hope he does well tonite.
These kids are young when they come through tOSU. They don't know what's going on.
If any manipulation is done, it is usually by the coaches, admin, scouts, agents, etc.
They are told they are invincible, and they believe it.
Think about it, if any of us banked a few million a year, cash, and were involved in Pro football, one of us could talk TP into doing shiit. Whether he wanted to do it or not.
Then, the student takes the punishment and hung out to dry.

Well, in his defense, he isn't wrong.
OSU banned him from all contact with the school for 5 years. He isn't allowed on campus or at any game.
He did do a lot for OSU, and was a great QB. He was part of a "scandal" (and I use that term incredibly lightly) that was one of the more embarassing moments for OSU, but there were 4 other players equally involved, and a HC that was probably more to blame than anyone else.
Also, I believe this statement was in response to a question about whether he went to the OSU vs Cal game, and he said he didn't and this was the explination as to why. I THINK, not sure.
