Talking Bull, Soap Edition: As Terrelle Turns

I give up, I quit... No more following the Pryor fiasco. First he was out four games, than out as a whol, then in the supplemental draft, then out of the draft, then back in, and then out again. Now it seems finally the most honest assessment of the situation. Nobody knows.

A poll that Orlando Sentinel columnist Mike Bianchi has used as justification for the Big East kicking out USF in favor of UCF, and the SEC booting Vanderbilt for the same.
