[...] we await Antonio Pittman’s decision. As has been mentioned, he’s announcing at his high school, which seens a strange place to announce that [...]

I’m glad Pittman hung it up, it will give Boom, Saine and Beanie more playing time and they’ll get better faster. This gives Saine the spotlight with Ginn gone. Got to get these guys playing time early to have a chance of beating Mallett over the 08 to 09 seasons. That’s going to be very difficult with Mallett dominating the Big Ten for several years.

SYR – just out of curiosity, do you have a link to when Pittman said he’d be back? If he really did do a 180, then you have a point. Might be worth a post.

I agree with you about spaghetti-gate being the “straw that broke the camel’s back.” I wouldn’t come back after that mess, no matter what I had said earlier.

Allthough I dont disagree with you……I openly chastised Nick Saban for lying. I must do the same to Pittman now. If you are in the public dont make statements that will come back to bite you in the rear.

Personnally I believe that the Spaghetti gate had a lot to do with Pittmans decision. Which is why I am mad at him. He knew his family had no money and they needed him to go PRO 2 months ago so he should have just kept his options open so he wouldnt look like a BIG FAT LIAR.

Good luck to him and once a BUCKEYE always a BUCKEYE. (except for that one person whose name shall not be said on here)

SYR – 2 months ago nobody had heard of McFadden or Hill, and Beanie was looking to be a bust. Things were looking up for Pittman. Kinda hard to judge him now when things have changed radically over the past two months. Not to mention that his O-line just decided two weeks ago that they weren’t going to show up when he and Smith needed them most.

Besides, there’s no way an OSU RB wins the Heisman under Tressel, who will always split carries across two/three RBs. You need to either get 35 carries per game to get the stats, or be a Reggie Bush-type of RB that gets 15 carries, 10 catches, and 5 punt/kickoff returns per game.

To me, Pittman’s defection doesn’t hurt as much as Ginn’s loss will.

I am not disappointed to see anyone make millions of dollars and head to the NFL as early as possible…….I am pissed as hell at Pittman as he said 2 moths ago that he will be back next year to win a hiesman trophy.
