I personally think Arizona would be a good idea for him. Closer to home, and Foles will be gone next year. Gives him a chance to learn the offense during his year out, and then be on equal ground with the other QBs for the starting job in 2012.

Is this. He was the funny kid in class who continously made you laugh hysterically but that kid was always messing up. One day you showed up to class and that kid was gone. Weeks go by you wonder where that kid ended up. Years later you had already forgot his name. His name was Tate.

He could go from being a short fish in a tall pond in any major college to being a big fish in a small pond at Montana.  They probably wouldn't let "silly little things" like turning in classwork on time get in the way of playing football, either.

I believe Montana would make the most sense for him.  He'd be following the downshifting pattern of his brother Chris, who went from UCLA to Furman.  He'd have less competition.  School would probably be less of a chore.  Bonus: I think Missoula is, for its weight class, an awesome college town.

To varying degrees, the other choices (especially Miami) seem odd when the Forcier family history is considered.  The kids don't seem to enjoy being 2nd/3rd/worse-string (at least not for the long term).

Anyway, good luck to Tate.  He'll be remembered for many years (at least by this fan) for his early '09 highlights.

What's up with Al Golden wanting anyone associatied with Michigan in recruiting, now our transfer. Seems to me like someone has a crush on us.

Honestly, it would probably be good for him to transfer to a FBS school rather than a FCS one.  Having to sit out a year with a redshirt would allow him to adjust to the school and classes.   He'll have the ability of not being a "star" on the team.  Being out of the limelight may be exactly what he needs to get his head on straight and be able to pass some classes.

Good luck Tate wherever you end up.  I'm dissapointed in the fact that it took you too long to realize you were screwing up in school, but you did an admirable job the two years you were here.

I love how "irrelevant" Michigan has become when the transfer process of our backup QB is front page ESPN news.  This is why other schools hate us and I love it.   I do wish Tate the best of luck.

As a Grizzly fan, I hope he ends up at Montana.  Montana football had a down year this year and could really use Tate's skills.  I wish him luck wherever he ends up.

Just to see what it looks like, I searched for him on FB.  Why the F are there 12+ Tate Forcier accounts?  And no, there aren't that many people sharing his name b/c they all picture him as a football player.  Why do people do this?  Unless you're trying to scam people?  I just don't know.  You're either evil or stupid, and both aren't admirable traits.

Who cares where whats-his-name ends up.  Clean air is a finite resource these days so let's use our precious oxygen for discussion of individuals that actually want to be --or are-- at Michigan.

I hope for his sake that he ends up at a pretty good school.  As much as it may kill his dad to realize, the odds are against Tate making it in the NFL.
