Is he better than Sheridan?

IF, IF, that's really really Tate Forcier's writing, there's just something about that tone. And that website, QB Force. I don't like any of it. Reminds me of a spiky hair SoCal flake pulling up in a limousine and making his announcement . I hope Tate Forcier succeeds at Michigan, don't get me wrong. And he's just a kid so his tact will change over time. Aside from that, I like Steven Threet. He wasn't all-Big10 last year but not too many redshirt freshmen are right? I don't care who leads us to better than .500 next year, but my money is on Threet.

extrapolating from not just a Myspace entry...but from the TONE of a Myspace entry.

everyone knows that the top 8 is where the all the juicy info is

Tate is in no way as douchey as Jimmah!. A kid is allowed to be optimistic coming into a season. You assholes would be bitching about how 'he's not a Michigan Man' if he said something like "I hope we can beat half of the teams we play next year..."

Ugh. I recall you getting your panties in a bunch on a thread where some commenters, including myself, said RR's 3-9 first year at UM didn't warrant a passing grade.
Look, people are entitled to be turned off by certain things. This doesn't make you an asshole or anti-Revolution. I like optimism and I don't like bragging. If Tate Forcier turns out to be a great QB at Michigan then clearly my concerns were just concerns, except they'll have been unfounded.
Obviously you must know Tate and Jimmy Clausen, which puts you in a much better position to compare the two. I apologize for insulting your friends.

I'm turned off by you, because of your douchy posts, just FYI

is way to busy shivering and banging chicks from Brighton to update his myspace. On the other hand, his facebook reads like Tolstoy.

You're right that I don't know Tate Forcier. In fact, I have nothing to go on except what I've read. Which is, the family's very odd self-promoting website (links below). Somebody's diary posting about his game time demeanor and this snippet from his myspace page. I don't know, it's probably more of a reflection of the way kids are nowadays. I won't kid you though, the picture of him where he is dwarfed by RR and the Clausen brother precedent thing scares me a little.
Most people here like predictions (at least THE KNOWLEDGE told me so) so here's mine: Threet will be our QB for the next 2 or 3 years with Robinson coming in to switch things up. Gardner will follow and Forcier will play the role of Gutierrez or, I don't know, maybe Jason Forcier whilst at UM. (Cue the booing.) If I'm wrong, I imagine I'll be banned and all my online credibility will go to hell in a handbasket. I have no idea what I'll do then.

I kinda think you are a total d-bag. After that, make all the predictions you'd like.
February 3rd, 2009 at 7:54 PM ^
I made it very clear what I thought about that rumor. I still think you are a total d-bag.

Well, you don't know me do you? And I don't know you. Hence, I have no name for you. I just know what you contribute to this blog, which is pretty much garbage. Calling someone a douchebag because you don't agree with their post is about as thoughtful as your colorful handle. When people can't create their own original ideas they resort to name calling, much like a 5-year old, probably b/c they're still in grade school (pretending to be a college student) or have not or will not ever develop certain critical thinking skills.
The fact that Brodie and wolverine1987, solid contributors to this blog, share my POV should tell you something about your own. Commenters like you seem to thrive on cutting & pasting articles in your posts, asking questions of the community, perhaps to show you've done your homework, hoping someone will give you a little pat on the back.
I spend the time writing this simply b/c you've been posting a lot lately. Perhaps you should think about not posting a lot. Or like, not posting.

I think he'll start pretty early next season and Rich Rod will make sure of it. It didn't appear that Threet has the tools to be an effective QB in this system.
February 2nd, 2009 at 1:56 AM ^
I think you're much closer to being right than people would like to admit.
February 2nd, 2009 at 1:09 AM ^
that I hope Forcier doesn't really speak that way because his English professors may have to work overtime with him.

Anyone who doesn't find the QBForce website hilarious and a little disturbing is way too partisan to take seriously.
