Pryor has arthroscopic knee surgery. Will return for Spring.
SIAP but saw this on ESPN headlines http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=4903542
Basically Pryor had minor knee surgery, not expected to miss any spring practice. Apparently this was bothering him at least for the Rose Bowl, possibly as far back as November.
I'm glad he'll be back, I want the team to crush his soul next November, and I don't want OSU to have any excuses.

The second half of your title is disappointing.
February 10th, 2010 at 4:52 PM ^
yeah but I didn't want to leave that out and have too many members go from 6pm to midnight unnecessarily.
February 10th, 2010 at 7:48 PM ^
Does anyone have Jeff Gillooly on speed dial?
February 10th, 2010 at 4:55 PM ^
there's always the chance of a tom brady-esque post-surgical knee infection
February 10th, 2010 at 4:59 PM ^
enter happy michigan loving god. work your magic!
February 10th, 2010 at 5:00 PM ^
I hope the surgeon doesn't steal from Pryor or contemplate something even more drastic!!!
February 10th, 2010 at 5:30 PM ^
Everybody performs surgeries. Everybody cuts.
February 10th, 2010 at 5:07 PM ^
Pryor best hope his surgeon isn't Dr. Leo Spaceman
"Now this is surgery, so don't eat anything before you come in. Because I'll have a big breakfast waiting for you."
February 10th, 2010 at 5:07 PM ^
I think good old Dr. Jack Kevorkian is availlable and he really does kill people
February 10th, 2010 at 6:00 PM ^
Dear Dr. Spaceman,
We regret to inform you that the New England Journal of Medicine does not publish x-rated cartoons.

"I was afraid this might happen. You know, he’s on so many different neuroleptics and tricyclics that there’s no telling how they’ll mix. But, what can you do? Medicine’s not a science."

Everybody has knee surgery. Everybody damages ligaments in his knee, in your knee...
February 10th, 2010 at 5:54 PM ^
response to the word "Pryor" on this board, but somehow I haven't grown tired of them yet. The young man has given the world (or at least mgoblog) a genius format for parody that has near endless applications.
February 10th, 2010 at 5:13 PM ^
the surgery was on his right knee. Pryor claimed to have a partial tear in his left knee before the Rose Bowl. Maybe Pryor just got confused between right and left or the doctor did the surgery on the wrong knee.
February 10th, 2010 at 11:05 PM ^
but my money is on the doctor getting it right and Pryor being confused.
February 10th, 2010 at 5:14 PM ^
Pryor may psychologically be a bit squeamish about getting hit in the legs after this. Could mess him up a bit. Time will tell.
February 11th, 2010 at 8:09 AM ^
...if Pryor will be "squeamish" about hits to the knees or not, but if I was a defender I would definitely do the best I could to find out.
February 10th, 2010 at 5:39 PM ^
After watching Pryor this year I really don't care too much whether he is playing against us or not. I don't think he is all that good. Let him play the next two years and I like our chances.
February 10th, 2010 at 6:39 PM ^
He's not a great passer, nor is he particularly intelligent. But he's Vince Young Jr in his ability to scramble and pick up first downs at will. If Tressel had any sense at all, he'd call a rollout pass on every play. I just don't understand why OSU hasn't used his strengths as a first resort rather than a last resort.
February 11th, 2010 at 9:45 AM ^
I agree, and could have made my point clearer. I think he is a great talent in many ways but I don't think Tressel is going to use those talents, at least not from what we have seen so far. If they insist on trying to keep him in a pro-style pocket he isn't going to be the threat he could be otherwise.
February 10th, 2010 at 5:49 PM ^
change the fact that he throws like a girl?
February 10th, 2010 at 6:24 PM ^
only if it was a double secret surgery to get his ovaries removed
February 10th, 2010 at 10:48 PM ^
Will he stop turtling every time he gets near a first down? He would have had about five more first downs against Michigan last year if he wouldn't have crumpled on proximity to the invisible yellow line.
February 10th, 2010 at 7:42 PM ^
I'd rather have Pryor not be in the game against us. This isn't the Cooper-coached OSU team from the '90s anymore that made us look good by choking against us. I'd much rather beat a bad OSU team right now than get drubbed by a good one.
February 10th, 2010 at 7:48 PM ^
Please be "Dr. Nick" from the Simpsons...
"Hello everybody, I just chopped off this guy's legs"
February 10th, 2010 at 9:20 PM ^
FWIW he would recover quicker if he got his surgery done here in Ann Arbor. UM hospital > ohio hospitals
February 10th, 2010 at 10:31 PM ^
If you were Jewish in 1943, would you have gone to Der Emergency Hospital Deuschland?
February 10th, 2010 at 10:35 PM ^
does that mean we're nazis? cuz that would stink
February 10th, 2010 at 11:04 PM ^
What a pathetic thread.
February 11th, 2010 at 8:01 AM ^
I can see you bring a lot to the board.
February 11th, 2010 at 10:46 AM ^
I guess Michigan isn't "indifferent" enough for you not to post on the board. Quite unfortunate actually.
February 11th, 2010 at 3:57 PM ^
While I don't root for injuries, I'll take a win over a shorthanded OSU and excuses from Buckeyes over an "honorable loss" 100 times out of 100. Besides, we're due for a break on the injury front. In four of the last five years, we've gone into the game with either our starting QB or starting RB (or both) injured.
