Countdown to Kickoff - Day 16: Renaldo Sagesse (+ TATE IS ALIVE)
August 19th, 2010 at 8:28 AM ^
Oooh ooh ooh! Is it Tate this time?
EDIT: HAHAHAHA! TATE IS THERE!
WOOOOOOOOOO!
August 19th, 2010 at 8:31 AM ^
You've gotta love Tate. Hehehehe...
August 19th, 2010 at 8:39 AM ^
"Woooooo! I'm a scary ghost!"
August 19th, 2010 at 8:51 AM ^
why would they let someone who has already left the team in a countdown video? weird.
/sarcasm
August 19th, 2010 at 4:51 PM ^
Maybe this was filmed a couple days ago, and Tate took Renaldo's "Get out of here, dawg" comment literally?
August 19th, 2010 at 11:48 AM ^
They were just UNDER his helmet....
August 19th, 2010 at 8:31 AM ^
I love the cameo by Tate at the beginning. He is clearly part of the team and having fun.
August 19th, 2010 at 8:35 AM ^
Its really good to see Tate at the beggining of the video. Im pulling for him to be our starter. I think he gives us the best chance at winning games...
GO BLUE, GO TF
August 19th, 2010 at 8:35 AM ^
"Wwwwoooooooooooooooooooooo!"
Sincerely,
Tate
August 19th, 2010 at 8:37 AM ^
will be the beneficiary of a now-free posbang from me...
Thanks to everyone who's posted these!
August 19th, 2010 at 8:44 AM ^
waiting for youtube to process this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YrcVkDx1vD0
August 19th, 2010 at 8:59 AM ^
Also, MGoBlue.com seems to be taking care of things for you...
August 19th, 2010 at 9:13 AM ^
MGoBlue is subverting their own video delivery system? Awesome. I'm sleeping in tomorrow.
August 19th, 2010 at 9:16 AM ^
I guess so. They're usually a little slower than you are, but not by a whole lot. They put the videos up on the Michigan Football Facebook page.
August 19th, 2010 at 9:22 AM ^
About half of the videos on their Facebook page are mine, err, I mean the ones I ripped off from them.
August 19th, 2010 at 9:24 AM ^
Well in that case, please continue to do what you do, because it's 100x nicer than going through MGoBlue.com's player, even when that one works.
August 19th, 2010 at 9:34 AM ^
Will do.
Also,August 19th, 2010 at 9:36 AM ^
a "Tenso" just waiting to happen.
August 19th, 2010 at 9:40 AM ^
Do you also make GIFs? I could use one of this.
August 19th, 2010 at 10:09 AM ^
I could but chunkums would probably show up and kick my ass.
August 19th, 2010 at 9:48 AM ^
Thanks.
Also, on a content note, it's good to see Denard taking snaps from under center. The more our 2 quarterbacks are interchangeable the better.
August 19th, 2010 at 8:40 AM ^
When do we find out what Tate's injury is? Fort Schembechler is KILLING me here.
August 19th, 2010 at 8:42 AM ^
Takes most of a pre-season camp to recover.
August 19th, 2010 at 10:08 AM ^
Rosenberg is scheduled for an addadictomy on Friday.
August 19th, 2010 at 8:57 AM ^
If Tate is injured, it could still be his shoulder from the Indiana game. A torn tendon in the shoulder can take 15 months to fully heal properly and frequent throwing would slow down the healing process. I hurt a tendon in my shoulder at the end of last October and it is a lot better, but it still isn't 100%.
August 19th, 2010 at 9:30 AM ^
I took a spill in March and caught myself on the way down with a "stiff arm" to some jetty rocks along the Grand River. While I managed to keep from splitting my head open, the force of my own weight falling on my exteneded arm tore the tendons in my left shoulder.
I absolutely know how Tate felt and have no idea how he threw the winning touchdown pass against Indiana, nor how he finished the season. He probably wasn't even 50% after that, and doubtful he is 100% now - even with the best medical and rehab staff around.
Definitely want to see him gunning for the top spot. While it looks like the deck is being stacked against him with some faster and taller competition, the kid is a winner - and him going balls out will make everyone better.
August 19th, 2010 at 8:41 AM ^
Great move by the PR staff to have him make a cameo...
August 19th, 2010 at 8:44 AM ^
K! thxbai
August 19th, 2010 at 8:45 AM ^
Not to burst any bubbles and I could be 100% wrong here but don't they film these way ahead of time and then edit in the practice tape? It looks like they are in the players lounge when they are filming these and in reality, I know that all the players are at the hotel during fall camp. Anyone?
August 19th, 2010 at 8:47 AM ^
hotel lounge. It's specially set up for the team. That's why Roh was out front of the hotel pool the other day.
This was probably filmed yesterday and/or Tuesday.
August 19th, 2010 at 8:49 AM ^
I figured that may be the case but I saw pool tables and I know they're the exact tables in the "other" lounge as well. Thanks for clearing it up!
August 19th, 2010 at 8:58 AM ^
I'm almost certain that's the players lounge at the football complex.
However, it's entirely possible that the film crew tapes these before/between/after practices.
I do get the feeling that these are filmed on an almost daily basis, so I don't think these interviews are several days or weeks old. Sagesse probably talked to the camera crew yesterday or the day before.
August 19th, 2010 at 1:50 PM ^
Definitely the Players Lounge seen in the Day 27 video with Mike Parrish.
Also, the players mention different days, so they are definitely filming them daily, like when Lewan and Roh were talking about how they had the day off last Saturday so they were hanging out by the pool, etc.
August 19th, 2010 at 9:00 AM ^
You'd also have to assume that the players are lying about what is happening in camp each day. If they were filmed ahead of time, comments about, we're working on this, we're getting stronger, etc. would have to be made up ahead of time too.
August 19th, 2010 at 5:35 PM ^
Maybe the Freep is right, and they've been in camp all summer!!
August 19th, 2010 at 8:46 AM ^
August 20th, 2010 at 12:10 AM ^
Très bien.
August 19th, 2010 at 8:51 AM ^
Great to see Tate having fun with his teammates
August 19th, 2010 at 9:07 AM ^
This is my double rainbow
August 19th, 2010 at 9:34 AM ^
Take that, bikini-clad reporter.
August 19th, 2010 at 9:14 AM ^
he plays a lot. I'm pullin' for this guy, he seems like a great dude.
Also, I knew I heard an accent of some kind!
August 19th, 2010 at 9:14 AM ^
Maybe Tate is transferring because Renaldo told him to "Get out of here dawg!"
August 19th, 2010 at 9:19 AM ^
Just how ugly those maize jerseys are. It's like the love child of diarrhea and creamed corn.
August 19th, 2010 at 9:21 AM ^
Creamed corn always gives me d...-
Wouldn't that be incest?
August 19th, 2010 at 9:22 AM ^
This video provides all the evidence in the world against maize jerseys.
August 19th, 2010 at 9:26 AM ^
"If there's one thing on this team I'd change, it would be Martell Webb's nose."
Awesome.
August 19th, 2010 at 10:11 AM ^
Change? To cornerback?
August 19th, 2010 at 11:12 AM ^
We need a Michigan Mr. Potato head using Martell Webb's nose, Craigh Roh's Eyebrows, Gerg's hair, Jordan Kovacs' Death Eyes, and Denard Robinson's smile.
