Terrelle Pryor to transfer to SEC

PrintNo, No...Terrelle Pryor is not really transferring to the SEC, but he could with all that OMG ESSS EEE SEEE SPEEEED!
According to Yahoo! Sports and Cleveland.com, Pryor ran a 4.33 40-yard dash.
His [Pryor's] 40 time was a speedy 4.33.
If that time is correct, it would make Pryor not only the fastest Buckeye, but surely one of the fastest humans on earth. Consider that a 4.33 40 is significantly faster than any quarterback has run for the electronic clocks at the NFL Combine in the last four years, including Pat White (who turned in an official 4.55 in February at 197 pounds), and in fact more than a full tenth of a second faster than any running back or cornerback ran at this year's combine. Only one player at that entire event, Darrius Heyward-Bey, came in with a faster time (4.30) than Pryor's alleged 4.33. Of Pryor's six non-lineman teammates in Indianapolis -- a group that included Beanie Wells, Malcolm Jenkins and Brian Robiskie -- only one, cornerback Donald Washington, came in under 4.5 (4.49).
Some plausible (though hardly foolproof) speculation has suggested that a 4.33 is a hair faster than the time Usain Bolt turned in on the first 40 yards of his world-record 100-meter sprint in the 2008 Olympics, or than any other world-record 100-meter sprinter has turned in on the first 40 yards going back to Ben Johnson in 1988.
We can now add world's fastest man to the accolades surrounding Big-Ten preseason offensive player of the year.

I voted for invisibility
Think of all the pranks you could pull on Pryor. Every morning he would wake up to a different photo in the photo sequence of his fumble. Eventually ending with the crying picture.

I almost voted for vaporize powers...
until I got to the final choice.

Same here
In hindsight, it’s probably better for everyone involved if I don’t have vaporize powers. Although after a couple of morning commutes the roads would probably be a lot emptier, so that might be a plus…

i didn't vote.
there was no “all of the above” option, so i left it blank…kinda like i did in college.
guess that explains my GPA.

Good choices Buggy!
They kept getting better. At first I was all about the invisibility (to supervise fencing practice), then vaporizing powers would have been even cooler, and finally the V-Ball sleepover wins for sure!!
Put a tarp on that circus! - showtime @ BSD
at first I was taking this all seriously and stuff...
…and then I saw the last option, and had no choice.
No Way
I find it extremely difficult to believe that a kid his size can run THAT fast. I think he is fast but not 4.33 fast, that is an incredible time. I wish the rest of the world would step off of their worship of a kid that won exactly 0 big games for his team last year and do some objective journalism, if only they could be as rational as Penn Staters.
Also… how does the sleepover option NOT have 100% of the vote?

Agreed
I also have to say that when he runs with the ball, he just looks kind of slow and awkward. Now, I’m sure that in reality that isn’t the case at all, but still there is NO WAY that time could be correct. The worship that is thrown this dude’s way is almost too much.

ALMOST too much?
I re-watched the tOSU game from last year the other day, and it reminded me of why I came to dislike TP so much in the first place- Holly Rowe gave the glowing account of TP going to Sweatervest before the game and saying ‘coach, if I’m not performing out there, bench me’… They wanted to stroke him for it, but all I could think was that Tressel should have said ‘okay, Dipshit, thanks for telling me how to do my job’. Unless he’s done about five years’ worth of growing up since last year, I see TP totally imploding under any kind of pressure this year.

Flying would be sweet
You could go to any football game (outdoors) and just hover over midfield enjoying the game.
Success without honor is an unseasoned dish; it will satisfy your hunger, but it won't taste good.
Until you were vaporized by Zug for distracting the players, anyway

Invisibility is not a bad choice...
Because then you could have a sleepover with the women’s v-ball team EVERY night!
I bleed Blue and White.
I was thinking that
but it wouldn’t have been the same kind of sleepover as I’m assuming the other one is ;-)

I should have called it a "pajama party" instead
as I don’t imagine there will be much sleeping going on.

terrel's not transferring
they were using limited edition SEC stopwatches to time him. just makes one seem faster. brandon ware broke the 5 sec. barrior using one last week.
and the comparison to Bolt is just plain ludicrous. Running 100m requires an entirely different race strategy than a 40 yd dash.

You want SEC fast?
Here ya go
I had to reread that article several times to see if this guy was actually serious with his comparisons, that’s when I got to the last line of the post. The whole time I thought it was written by an ill-informed OSU fan when really the guy wrote it in sarcasm. I was ready to throw out Bo Jackson’s and Deon Sanders’ 40 times. However, you can’t use someone’s 100m dash time and compare it to someone’s 40 yard time, at different distances you go a different speed to pace yourself. When was the last time you used someone’s first mile in a marathon and said you could beat them because you could run a mile faster than that?!
sadly, many marathon runners can run at a pace for every mile
that is faster than my current mile times

I know
Dudes nowadays are being recruited to win Marathons and being trained without ever making them go that far in training. They put them on the course and they go off at sub 5min miles and go 26 for the first time ever. It’s crazy. Turning 26miles into a goddamn sprint.

I'm confused what you mean
how the heck would someone have the endurance to run 26 miles if they didn’t ever train to go that far…especially at that pace

It sounds like genuine ignorance might be an advantage
1st timers won both men’s and women’s in the 08 Marine Corps (and they weren’t even Kenyan!) and men’s in Chicago 03.
But here’s a book excerpt from the 9time women’s winner of the NYC and her description of winning her first marathon.

I suppose I see what you mean
one of my best friends’ brothers qualified for the Olympic trials for the marathon after running his first marathon ever in Chicago, though he was a good runner, and did distance running, and probably had run marathon lengths before in practice (though I can’t be positive of that). He also isn’t African, and is probably the whitest kid I know (pale pale Irish skin and blond hair).
Unfortunately he was I think a bit under the weather during the Olympic trials (day after the NYC Marathon, same route), and I think finished last or second to last.

This is a great point, and there are researchers interested in it
There are a few world-class runners, whom I am too lazy to look up, that did not start training for long distance until their early 20s. There’s significant research interest in whether training early in life actually hurts the best times a human could possibly run by developing repetitive stress injuries, losing cartilage, etc.
Of course
I remember the guy that won the NYC marathon a couple years back pulled out a 5:24 at mile 20. I was talking about more about the commonfolk (too be honest I was really hoping no BSDers would know about marathons and I’d be able to slip by, so thanks for bringing that up JuggerNitt.) In any case, Usain Bolt would kill Terrell Pryor in a race
"too be honest I was really hoping no BSDers would know about marathons and I’d be able to slip by"
Somebody on BSD will know something about any topic….even if they really don’t know something about the topic.
It's like what we always say about my sister-in-law:

It does become a tough balance, if our diverse interests ever develop into diverse experiences: how much to share. Important in good conversation, too: the balance between talking and listening. As much as I enjoy spouting off on here about any number subjects I feel expressive about, I will absolutely stfu and take in whatever’s being offered by anyone exhibiting any kind of kennoledge. The food science and turf threads here this summer have been fascinating.

the good thing about a message board
is it is pretty much impossible to shout over someone, so it is possible to say as much as you want, and still “hear” everything. At least that’s what I keep telling myself ;-)

The quote fits perfectly
Everyone knows someone like this and it is annoying beyond words. I’m a bit of a science nerd, but I don’t even bother talking about science stuff around her. She “knows” everything and makes sure you know she does. It’s like the guy who used to work in my office – “the topper”. Every exciting/scary/interesting story you could tell, he could top it. Thank God he left.
I agree with ptothej that the diversity of knowledge on this site is almost addicting. I love when someone brings up a different subject (like turf) and suddenly there’s an intelligent conversation about it. Reason # 574 that I check this site 574 times/day.
