Forcier Gains Weight...Greatness Ensues?

Submitted by bamill010 on February 19th, 2010 at 1:07 PM

I'm not one to facebook stalk but Tate's status update popped up in my news feed and here's what it said "Almost at 200 pounds. Time to get swoll for the ladies and the Big Ten;) hahah."

We need to insure that he actually is that weight. It would be good ensurance against injury.

I love this blog :) I saw the headline, saw that it had like 25 comments in less than an hour, and immediately knew there'd be all kinds of hilarious smart-ass comments on spelling! Where else on the internet does that happen?

really doesn't play a big role in injury. There's plenty of big, strong players who are injury prone. It's the matter of how less exposed you are when it comes to taking hits. The more exposed you are, the greater the chance of getting hurt regardless of weights. With that being said, it helps that you're heavier so that you absorb punishment better.

If you absorb punishment better how does that not lead to being less injury prone?

not one to facebook stalk... except you just did. Good to hear that he is gaining some weight. Gaining weight with Barwis was enevitable.

I mean, I'm the same age as him and I go to the same university. I think I'm ok being friends with him and seeing his update in my feed. Maybe I should have said "I don't go out of my way to facebook stalk by checking his wall every day and being friends with his girlfriend"

To be fair, it's not really "facebook stalking" if he didn't go out of his way to get that information. I'm not sure how something that automatically appears without you doing anything would be perceived as "stalking"...

So, what's your suggestion? Not read the posts that display automatically on your news feed? Kind of defeats one of the primary features of facebook...

How about, don't "Friend" people you aren't actually friends with? At least he's around the same age, otherwise it'd be even creepier.

The OP was talking about how it came across his news feed, not that he went to Tate's wall and read it. I think being friends with people you're not actually friends with is more than a little weird, but there were two distinct points here: (1) being friends with someone you don't know and (2) reading something that automatically comes up in your news feed. The later is the point that I was responding to. If you read the sequence of posts, that's fairly obvious.

Players who have facebooks/myspaces/twitters, if they have a bunch of sports photos of themselves and post updates of themselve, I see it as a FAN PAGE.

In case you guys are wondering, I'm also almost 200 lbs. In my case, this will not help me with the ladies nor the Big Ten.

Sam Webb, who does the recruiting roundup podcasts for WTKA, is a very short man. I thought you were saying that you were a fat 200 pounds, because you're short.

that Tate gaining weight may adversely effect his mobility? that said, i understand it is a necessity to be able to endure a full season of big ten football. Just an observation.
