Pitta IS a finalist
http://blogs.sltrib.com/byu/index.php?p ... &tb=1&pb=1 Great game on Saturday (by the middle of the second quarter he'd already racked up a great game). Another one like that and the award should be a lock.

If Pitta played for Florida, they would have the trophy gift-wrapped for him already waiting under the tree.

Re: Pitta IS a finalist
If Pitta played for ANY BCS team they'd have already crowned him champ (yep, even if it was Baylor or Duke).

Re: Pitta IS a finalist
Ultimately, Pitta is going to get this award (unless Dickerson has a career day against Cincy on national tv) but he'll get it for the same reason Detmer and Staley got theirs; a combination of a career achievement and no one in the same time zone as overall numbers.
It's well deserved and Air Force was exactly what he needed. If he could get 4-5 grabs vs Utah, it's all over.

Re: Pitta IS a finalist

McShay and the other dude that talk college football.. the guy with the glasses and the funky hair... I can't remember his name... they both BUGsnoscythe wrote:McShay is a douchebag.po_pocoug wrote:So a question that I have then..

I love this from his wikipedia page:
"[H]is reputation as the top draft commentator in the business comes about because of accuracy[citation needed], preparedness[citation needed], and attention to detail[citation needed] when discussing players, their skills and weaknesses, as well as which team is a likely fit for them."
In the entire internet, no one has found a reference supporting his accuracy, preparedness, or attention to detail. Wow.
