Sugar Bowl Open Thread

Who: Ohio State Buckeyes vs. Arkansas Razorbacks
What: Sugar Bowl
Where: Superdome, New Orleans, NO
When: 5:30 PT/8:30 ET
TV: ESPN
Announcing: Brad Nessler and Todd Blackledge, SR: Holly Rowe
My Pick: Arkansas
Notes: Dan Wetzel of Yahoo! Sports eviscerates NCAA over the hypocrisy over the Pryor ruling. I specifically picked Arkansas because of this. Ohio State is in a stagnant state because Pryor can declare for the draft after this game. Ohio State will be distracted, plus their past record in BCS games against Southern teams, is reason enough to pick Arkansas over tOSU.

    Pryor is stupid if he does not declare for the draft. Which is why I totally expect him to return to Ohio State for a senior season.

    Is it fair to say Pryor is a Ron Powlus type of bust? Remember the hype surrounding him coming out of high school?

    If a female ESPN on-air personality had called an on-air male ESPN personality "sweet baby" and "asshole," would she have been fired?

    Petrino gambles by throwing on 4th and 1 instead of trying a FG and Mallett's pass gets tipped. Dumb.

    Dammit. The Buckeyes team I expected to roll is actually losing to lowly Iowa. #CollegeHoops

    I wouldn't allow Pryor on my NFL team if he offered his services for free. He's a trainwreck in the making.

    When Skip Bayless filled in for Rome, he would always tweak the "Luckeyes" for that pass interference call in the NC game against Miami. Only respectable or funny thing he's ever said.

    @RJBO: Bayless' "The Flag from Tuscon" rant still makes me laugh. Like you said, the only respectable and funny thing he's ever said.

    Even though the Big Ten needs a Ohio State win, I so want to see the Buckeyes blow this.

    I'd like to take this time and thank Cam Newton for his rehearsed and prepared "Thank God" statements post-SEC Championship Game. Pryor seemed like he didn't think he'd be in the spotlight post-Sugar Bowl. #WinningThePressConference101
