papparacci? those newspaper chase men?

 

[Saw31]

I thought he meant this guy...

where does everyone think he'll be drafted ? i would really like to see his combine stats and how well he does. seeing as how darius walker is leaving and he is only considered a late 2nd to 3rd rounder. i think pittman is going to be a steal for team picking late on day 1

Are we becomin pavarraci or basing decsion about his decsions on where he goes to? Give it a break.

What the hell is that? Something you put on a pizza? Oh, you mean "paparazzi "...

Who would have known that that Pittman kid was such a good runner?? It almost seems like he could have/should have had a few more opportunities?? Sorry, I am sure in the next week or so I will get done beating this dead horse. Call it theraputic.

I feel your pain... might have eased the 'SEC speed' talk too. Lost in the beatdown was the pictured TD, where Pittman just flew past three unblocked gators.

Gotta think his speed bursts against the mighty UM & UF rush defenses helped his draft stock.

You can chalk that down as the last good play of the game, and it came early 2nd quarter. :( :( Man, I thought that was going to get our offense going and we'd cruise from there on out. I really need to have this game erased from my memory.

yeah I remember thinking the same thing.. I remember Seein Pittman weave his way to that score and then the Defense getting a 3 and out and thinking.. SHOWTIME BABY.. The coaches for some odd reason went 3 straight passes and the rest was history. I think if we score on that drive make it 21-21 the gators start to calm down and dont' go for the kill instead just tryin to grind it out... if that would've been the case who knows how it would've ended up? It just got outta hand quickly that last couple minutes in the 2nd quarter.

Nicely put. Thanks for helping with my therapy. Pittman and Beanie were the keys to that game in my opinion. With success on the ground, things could have opened up nicely for TS. Pittman will definitely get some good looks from NFL scouts. If he impresses at the combine, it would be easy to see him going 2nd Round. He's a big game back with big time speed.

yep, that was the last great play for the 2006 Buckeyes. The 3 straight pass plays on the following series still leaves me (like many others) confused. We were actually blowing them off the line on the only TD drive, then we decided to just kill that momentum by throwing. That's just bad decisions all around.

Indeed...putting the game in your Heisman Trophey winner's hands...very confusing. Who knows what would have happened had we had different play calls...but we only question it when it doesn't work. Somehow I think football is a little bit more complicated than, run or pass. The game was not lost on play calling.

I kind of do. I think the game was lost on our lack of adjusting to UF's game plan.
