Terrelle Cryer T-shirts recalled by Penn State student group

Those Terrelle Cryer shirts won't be popping up at Saturday's Ohio State-Penn State game after all.

The Penn State Marketing Association made 200 of the shirts, which featured a drawing of Ohio State quarterback Terrelle Pryor and a box of tissues, and was planning to pass them out to members of the group and then sell any left over to the public on Friday. Dan Sturman, a Penn State senior and the president of the student group, said today that is commonly done at Penn State, various student organizations designing their own T-shirts for big games.

But the decision was made last night to recall all of the shirts after the Marketing Association received input from members of the club that the shirt wasn't sending the right message. Penn State's Daily Collegian wrote a story about the shirts this week that was picked up by several other sources, including cleveland.com

"The feedback we received thought it was too over-the-top," Sturman said. "It conveyed our message incorrectly. We wanted to stir up excitement about the Ohio State-Penn State rivalry. It was not meant to be an attack on Pryor. He's an amazing athlete. It's not an attack on him, and that's not what Penn State is about."

Sturman said the group had passed out about 20 T-shirts to members, but the group knows who has them and everyone has been asked to turn them in.

After seeing an interview with Pryor professing his idolization of Vick and his sociological conclusion that everyone steals and murders from time to time, I'm not all that concerned about some harmless t-shirts busting his chops a little.

He might not even realize their poking fun at him a little.

pleonastic -the use of more words than are necessary to express an idea; redundancy.

You really seem to love that word Dell. I used it in a sentence 2 years ago and once you looked it up for it's meaning, you've made sure to use it about 100 times.

Since it seems like you want to step up a notch from your Captain Marvel comics and Maurice Sendak books, look up the word vacuous and see if that describes any one you know.
