Todd Mcshay's Take: Stock Up, Stock Down College Football
On the front page of ESPN.com, there is a video of Todd Mcshay doing a "stock up, stock down" on college football. It's a pretty interesting video. Todd basically says that Tate's stock is up and Terelle Pryor's is down. He actually says that Tate is the perfect fit (agree) at Michigan and if he were a Michigan fan he would want Tate and not Pryor. I would definitely agree at this point. Pryor can't throw very well and he has made some big mistakes so far this season. Tate, on the other hand has been surprisingly near perfect on decision making.
Also in the video Todd says that Joe McKnight's stock is up as well as Dan LeFevour. The stock-downs include Jonathan Crompton and LSU's wide recievers along with Pryor. I was really glad that this segment included burns on all of our rivals, basically. Tate ripped up Notre dame in some highlight clips, Pryor was called out, and LeFevour was shown ripping Sparty a new one. Solid video. Thoughts?
EDIT: Also, I hope this isn't a repost. I checked back three pages and figured that was enough since it was new enough to be the front page video on ESPN.

Thats awesome. I have never been so pumped to play Eastern Michigan before!
September 16th, 2009 at 4:27 PM ^
Me too!! I can't wait to see Tate and the boys shred the Eagles.

Is the game televised at all? Tate's debut on the Big Ten Network?

RR plays Tate for like 3 series, scores 17 points, then benches him and most of the first string for the rest of the game. I know it would be the smart thing to do but with all this national hype I would hate to see a 31-20 score against EMU and have their stock drop even though it was mostly 2nd-3rd string players. With this game (obviously) not being nationally televised many might just see it as a they were high off last weeks win and wasn't ready type of game.

double post. sorry!

Given their comeback and near-upset of NU last week, I guarantee RR and Co are not taking EMU lightly. However, I would love for Denard Robinson to basically own a couple quarters with Forcier getting some rest. Also, as evidenced by the defense UFR, they need to get our reserves on D some reps as well, while stressing absolute fundamentals for the starters (particularly at LB, it seems).

Do they announce the opposing coaches' names when they introduce the other team? I think English could get some applause. I do agree with you, though, that RR will put some points on EMU. They won't take any team lightly after last season.

I hope they will. I'd like to give English a hand. Hopefully there'll be a good number in the stadium who remember where his roots are.

RR's WVU teams putting up big points on bad teams. I think he will let the guys score points and I think it will be a lopsided win

... that doesn't happen as often as it should.

Yes, i believe the game is on the BTN @ Noon (ET).
