It's both. Pryor probably shouldn't not have taken over as a true freshman because he wasn't ready. Sometimes this season when you watch him play, you can see he still doesn't seem ready,
On the other hand Tressel still doesn't seem to have tailored his playcalling to Pryor yet, which makes no sense because he basically redid his playbook with Troy Smith than rechanged it when Boeckman took over. Yet now with Pryor, it doesn't seem like he is playing to all of his strengths.It's both. Pryor probably shouldn't not have taken over as a true freshman because he wasn't ready.

Must haves for people who haven't heard Floyd before: Comfortably Numb, Hey You, Wish You Were Here, Time.
Not so well known songs: Echoes (really good but really long), Astronomy Domine, Point Me at the Sky, and Interstellar Overdrive (the Syd Barrett years), anything off Animals because it gets very little airplay, Fearless, One of These Days, and High Hopes (was released, but was on their last album and never gets played anymore)Must haves for people who haven't heard Floyd before: Comfortably Numb, Hey You, Wish You Were Here, Time.

You get the thumbs up for putting Animals as a must have as so few people do.
And I'd give you a second for suggesting Astronomy Domine. I loved that they opened their concerts on the Pulse tour with that song.
I add since it's my poll.
Must have songs are as mentioned Knights of Cydonia. I also really like Hysteria and Stockholm Syndrome with both some airplay.
Of songs that I never heard on the radio, I suggest Assassin and Exo-Politics.
The problem with the Heisman is that voting is considered by the following criteria.
1. You are the QB on one of the top 2 or 3 ranked teams.
Occasionally running back if the top team is a run first team without a high profile QB, but in this case is good for both Tebow and McCoy.
2. Do you have good college career stats.
This is usually more for players who came close as a sophomore or junior and didn't win, and whose senior stats aren't stellar, so this will help McCoy more than Tebow but certainly helps both. Still pointless for an award given for the best player in 2009, and yet lots of precident for this happening in the past
3. Has good intangibles.
This is known as completely subjective analysis that really holds no water, but still inflates a players worth. You know, great leadership, excellent poise. Baseball fans, this is also refered to as grit.
4. Is great off the field.
This should have no bearing on the Heisman and yet it probably will give Tebow a couple extra votes.
5. Overall season stats.
Mind you this is overall numbers. Don't bother to look at whether or not they stunk it up when they weren't playing a 1-AA team.
In the long run, McCoy and Tebow will both be in the top 3, and quite possibly they are the top 2.
Since neither one actually has Hesiman worthy numbers this year, my guess is McCoy squeaks it out based on the career numbers and that the fact that Tebow already won one, because there are voters who think no one should win twice (maybe I should have added that to the list too).The problem with the Heisman is that voting is considered by the following criteria.

In attempt to broaden FanIQ's (and my) music appreciation, I'm going to create a series of polls about various bands, some famous, some not so, and some you may have never heard of.
Your job is to let the other members of the Q know what songs that...
This is this week's Toilet Bowl. Whoever loses this game probably deserves to be contracted.
They could combine them into one team. Then they would be good enough to beat Oakland, KC, and maybe Tampa, but that's probably about it.
Looking at it, it looked they had kind of stopped.
My guess is...
1. He actually was offsides.
2. They weren't expecting him to stop the ball from going out of bounds with his hand.
3. That's all I have, I think #2 is a pretty good reason to slow up.
I get what your saying by soccer still being in play when they do it, but at that point the defender is beat, he can't catch him, might as well hope for the offsides I guess.
All that aside, this play couldn't look any worse unless Henry took a dive after his hand ball and tried to draw a penalty kick.Looking at it, it looked they had kind of stopped.

I'm no soccer (futbol) expert, but I equate throwing up your hand looking for an offside call to that of a receiver who dropped the ball looking for the pass interference flag, or the NBA player who wildly drove the lane, threw up a shot and missed, and looked to the ref for the call. In this case those guys were beat by Henry and looked for the offsides (which in this case was probably warranted), but in general if you're beat you look for help from the ref just like any other sport.I'm no soccer (futbol) expert, but I equate throwing up your hand looking for an offside call to that of a receiver who dropped the ball looking for the pass interference flag, or the NBA player who wildly drove the lane, threw up a shot and missed,...(more)
Seeing as the ref on the field keeps track of time for injuries and the like why can't he add extra time for replays if necessary. And you can just keep it simple for things like goals or penalties in the box and not use it for everything.
This was a goal, time was stopped while they were celebrating and the ball is set for kickoff at midfield. They could have replayed it at the same time and not ruined the flow of the game.
Keep replay to a minimum but still use it.Seeing as the ref on the field keeps track of time for injuries and the like why can't he add extra time for replays if necessary. And you can just keep it simple for things like goals or penalties in the box and not use it for everything.
