Rumor "Quashed" on Tate transfer request

Submitted by DrewG32 on

Saw this tweeted from Dylan over at UMhoops.  The tweet was from Melanie Collins, who apparently does some work for BTN.  She claims a "very reliable source" informed her of the transfer request.  Also mentions it was "not yet confirmed".  Take it for what it's worth.

Also, after looking her up google, she looks kinda hot.  So there's that.

[mod edit: She has since deleted the post and followed up stating 

Wow really struck a nerve w/ ppl. Like I said, NOT confirmed. We'll see what plays out.half a minute ago via Twitter for iPhone]

[mod edit edit: the great TomVH has spoken to Forcier's father, who claimed no knowledge of this and laughed at the notion.

If I was computer saavy enough I would show the tweet in the post, but I'm incapable.  The account is @Melanie_Collins if someone can help me out with that.

Given the track record with Forciers I would be surprised that it is true....going gets tough they bolt...but it is not confirmed so we'll have to wait and see....

And, yes...Melanie is hot....

If Tate requested a transfer this morning don't you think one of us assholes would have heard about before 9PM? I mean seriously this board has its nerdy, fairly unproductive fingers in everything. This is the bulli-est of bullshit.

If he quits, he quits.  Nothing would surprise me. Denard could quit in order to follow is undying love of butterfly collecting at this point and I wouldn't even think twice. Matter of fact I expect a post about him being suspended tomorrow.

Id be shocked if Tate Didn't transfer because let's face it: 1) we are cursed 2) the Denard lov is off the charts 3) it has been one of the rockiest off seasons for a returning statin qb that I can remember and 4) he is a Forcier. 4)
