Tate's New Status

Submitted by BlockM on
This is not a joke, although it looks like one. Tate's current Facebook status is "Today is a new day! One more practice before Wisconsin." Calm down people.

It's a fan page. He has a private page for friends. Basically, he knows that random strangers are going to be looking at this page, and posts these things anyway, with no expectation of privacy. So the question isn't why fans are looking at his page, it's why he feels the need to say such things in what he knows is a public forum.

but it fits here as well. This is my take on what happened: Rich (thinking to self): Man, we need this 6th win so badly. I'm gonna throw Wisconsin every curve ball imaginable. Even if it gives us a 1% advantage, that may be enough. Rich (to Tate): Hey Tate, you got one of them Book Face things? I'll bet ya do, everyone has one of them, right?. Go on there and be like, "Aw, shucks, I lost my starting job," then delete it lickity split! Tate: Oh Coach, you sly dog, you! You ole snake-in-the-grass, you! We're gonna dong-punch the Badgers even worse than you guys did last year! Yanno, in that game where you let them get the 19 point lead just so it would be even more heartbreaking when you came back and won!? Yea, that was my favorite.

I'm not saying we should be up in arms about this, but do you really think "Today is a new day!" is going to quell the storm? That doesn't tell us anything.

Tate's new status is being one of the most hunted 18 year olds on face book by old men who obsess a little too much about Michigan football. That being said, WHAT DID HE SAY NOW??? :)

The last post that said "everybody kills, everybody murders..." was replaced. it had one of those really upbeat womanly posts that said "Just had a great lunch with the redneck rocker, he had lots of great ideas. I am so glad to have such great fans!"

Everyone needs to relax. The biggest reason in the world that he will not transfer is that it mercilessly screwed both of his brothers and the only way this kid has any chance of a professional career if that is his goal is to ride it out here.

"showing the maturity that Michigan desperately needs, therefore not on facebook right now and will not be again until I transfer in order for Michigan to not have a quarterback that is not regularly on facebook spreading team information, thus further tarnishing what has already been an embarassing season." This entire story is bullshit. Start Denard Robinson this Saturday and every Saturday until and unless Forcier grows up. The shoulder and corresponding seizure on the sideline, the retroactive concussion, the debate with his brother as to the seriousness of his injury. Facebook? Transfering -you had a bad day... WTF. Hit the road kid.

So, because he has a facebook account (like many of us) you want him out of Michigan? Or is it because he changes his status? Because I guarantee if nobody reported his status changes you wouldn't know and would probably have a different opinion of Tate. Do you not realize that Tate has been one of our top performers this season? The idiocy of your post is awesome. -1. Good work.

just very tired of reading and hearing negative things regarding Michigan's football team. There is a controversy at both the professional and college level with regard to athletes posting things on such networking sites, and I believe that contoversy will now also be turned to Michigan, along with practice time, athletic director assaults, and whatever else can possibly be uncovered that will reflect negatively on Michigan. My post was ill-conceived and should not have been written, FWIW, just a gut reaction to what will surely be the next story that is used to disparage Michigan. Bad post, my bad. Neg away.

What you just said, is the most insanely idiotic thing I have ever heard. At no point, in your rambling incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone on this board is now dumber for having read it. I award you no points and may God have mercy on your soul.

Sometimes, no strike that, the majority of the time I wish social networking sites had never been designed. I think I'll choose to wait for the game and if he plays - he plays, if he doesn't then the coaches made a decision based on something. Who cares what his facebook says.

Tate's status says he's eating right now...or at least he was 35 seconds ago when he posted it. I have half a mind to check in and make sure he's eating his greens....
