"Ohio State coach Jim Tressel said this morning that the five junior players who are scheduled to serve a five-game suspension at the start of next season, including quarterback Terrelle Pryor, had to pledge they would return for their senior season before being included on this Sugar Bowl trip to play Arkansas on Tuesday night."Also, it seems that Tressel will, in fact, not suspend these players for a quarter, or the Sugar Bowl:
"The Buckeyes thus will begin practice in the Superdome this afternoon with all hands on deck. And all hands will be at their assigned positions, Tressel said, indicating there will be no sanctions against the affected five in terms of starting spot or playing time."I wonder if these players got word that the appeal might work, and the suspension be reduced to something like 3 games. We shall see.
This gives great hope to Buckeye Nation, as our chances without these players were slim. Now that they are back, and are returning for their senior season, there will be no distractions whatsoever. Bring on the Hogs.
