Gotta Love Pittman... as a man at least...

(No homo!) Sure wish he could get it turned around! Anywho.. here's the quick story tidbit

Last year’s Texas A&M game ended when a 42-yard field goal attempt from Arkansas kicker Cam Little — are you ready for this? — hit on top of the right upright and, by rule, was no good.

Inches. Literally inches from winning — or losing for the 10th time in the past 11 against the rival Aggies.

If the ball clears the right upright and goes over it — instead of hitting on top of it — the field goal is good and Arkansas has a 2-game winning streak in the series. But the unthinkable happened, and when it does, buddy, someone has to pay.

Arkansas has had 5 more 1-possession losses since, each as confounding as the Texas A&M loss. Two weeks ago, BYU went into Fayetteville and won, in part, because of unthinkable, unlucky special teams mistakes.

One of those mistakes was a shanked, 10-yard punt from Max Fletcher that gave the BYU offense a short field, which turned into a touchdown.

The response on social media, of course, was right down the middle with every other response to every other mistake made by a player in every other game by every other fan base.

“Fletcher was at practice on Monday. He’s lower than low,” Pittman said. “I walk by him, I said, ‘Hey Max, what’s wrong with you?’ He said, ‘Social media.’”

Went all the way to Australia to get a guy who punts it 10 yards.

How much does it cost to send him back to Australia?

“I said, ‘Max, they didn’t say I’m fat on there, did they?’” Pittman said. “He says, ‘Yes, sir.’ ‘What about my chest, did they say anything about that?’ He started smiling, he says ‘Yes, sir.’ I said, ‘Was I supposed to get fired on Sunday?’ He says, ‘Yes, sir.’ I said, ‘Well, I’m still here. They got 2 out of 3 right.’”
