The Tate Forcier saga continues
January 9th, 2012 at 6:31 PM ^
Was Craig James in town? Because there is a rumor that 5 hookers disappeared and are dead now while he was at SMU.
January 9th, 2012 at 6:34 PM ^
You're calling Tate a hooker?
January 9th, 2012 at 7:54 PM ^
Can this meme just fucking die already? Can we get a moratorium on Craig James jokes pleas?
January 9th, 2012 at 8:06 PM ^
The better question is why would a guy like Craig James, who's running for Senate, waste his time getting an mgoblog account.
Nice try Craig...
January 9th, 2012 at 10:22 PM ^
OH GODDAMN IT! YOU WIN CRAIG JAMES. YOU WIN.
January 9th, 2012 at 6:35 PM ^
forget football... i hope he is okay as a person. I hope he finds happiness doing whatever he does.
January 9th, 2012 at 6:35 PM ^
What a mess. I'm glad Michigan doesn't have this distraction on the team anymore.
January 9th, 2012 at 6:38 PM ^
I'm sitting at my desk at work sulking with a towel over my head in honor of Tate.
January 9th, 2012 at 6:39 PM ^
Did he withdraw from the university or did he totally disappeared from the face of the Earth?
January 9th, 2012 at 6:44 PM ^
Maybe he should go to Ohio State. I hear it's impossible to fail even if you don't try.
...but seriously, I hope he's alright and he finds the help he needs to get his head on straight.
January 9th, 2012 at 6:45 PM ^
January 9th, 2012 at 6:45 PM ^
Tate...please get well...I care about you because once upon a time you cared for (because you chose) my alma mater as your mother...please just figure your shitty shit out...spite your past despite your past...I have to promise it's possible.
January 9th, 2012 at 6:50 PM ^
But I think Tate would definitely benefit from some time spent with a Psychiatrist and Psychologist. I think he may need medial help. About his age is the time that most peopole develop really bad psychological diseases if they are going to do so. He may need medication.
January 9th, 2012 at 6:59 PM ^
January 9th, 2012 at 6:57 PM ^
HE'S OKAY!!! It was academics...again. You think he would learn?
January 9th, 2012 at 7:01 PM ^
January 9th, 2012 at 9:04 PM ^
OK, good, thanks for posting. Like I mentioned before the whole "he's disappeared" line was a little scary.
OTOH you'd think he'd learn to get his grades in order by now. Geez. He'll be looking at Juco's now, I think.
Is that the FXB as your avatar? Nice.
January 9th, 2012 at 7:00 PM ^
So does he have to sit out yet another year to go somewhere else in FCS?
January 9th, 2012 at 7:00 PM ^
Wow.....at this point you just want the guy to get help. I mean there's clearly something going on with his head, just hope he doesn't end up on the 6 o'clock news or something
January 9th, 2012 at 7:07 PM ^
Don't want him to end up a "30 for 30"
January 9th, 2012 at 7:06 PM ^
his real name is Kaiser Soze !!
January 9th, 2012 at 7:08 PM ^
Sigh, I was hoping he'd make my now alma materbowl eligible when he started playing for them. Uuuugh.
January 9th, 2012 at 7:10 PM ^
it reminded me of Tate. Initially put in a lot of work as a kid, missed out on some of the fun things you do when you're young, then gets thrust into the spotlight and forced to perform right away. Plus I believe Tate was trained by Marv Marinovich who was very demanding.
January 9th, 2012 at 7:10 PM ^
poor tater tot
January 9th, 2012 at 7:11 PM ^
I hope that somehow Tate sees this page, just so he knows that there are a lot of people are pulling for him. Hope he can resolve whatever has been troubling him. He may have left UM, but he's still one of us, and has my full support and prayers as he goes through these challenges.
January 9th, 2012 at 7:17 PM ^
wish he coulda worked out here. he woulda been great in borges's offense.
January 9th, 2012 at 7:27 PM ^
Tomorrow's another day; probably another opportunity. Get well.
January 9th, 2012 at 8:18 PM ^
Haha! +1 to you sir. What you know about some Mcfadden and Whitehead?
January 9th, 2012 at 7:28 PM ^
This thread is so very Huxleyan.
... I sure hope they never come up with a pill or "treatment" for "youthful indescretions". What a bland world that would be. Just because the kid may not be cut out for college doesn't mean his life is doomed without "treatment".
January 9th, 2012 at 7:48 PM ^
You jump to conclusions. Psychiatric help doesn't necessarily mean medication. Not being cut out for college is one thing. Squandering talent, running from program to program is another. He may be anything along the spectrum from just dumb and not cut out for college to depressed to bipolar to schizophrenic. Plus there was the report last winter about him in what may have been a suicide attempt IIRC. Netter to seek out help and be told there is nothing wrong than to have a thread posted about an unfortunate event
January 9th, 2012 at 7:30 PM ^
I was all ready to start making "May the Forcier be with you" T-s in the baby Michigan colors SJSU uses. It would've been fun to have a little mgostyle at grad school!
Le sigh.
January 9th, 2012 at 7:40 PM ^
Sad story. I just wonder how good Tate would have become if he applied himself in the weight room, in off-season drills, film study and the classroom. I really think he could have been special, maybe even an All-American. He had some great games as a true freshman, so I just wonder what he would have done as a jr. and sr?
January 10th, 2012 at 5:37 PM ^
All-American? Really?
January 9th, 2012 at 7:41 PM ^
This is going to be funny when someone tweets tomorrow that everything is fine and Forcier alright tomorrow...
Anyway, carry on.
#freakoutmode
January 9th, 2012 at 7:47 PM ^
I'd like nothing else for the kid.
January 9th, 2012 at 8:59 PM ^
Exactly. The whole "disappeared" thing is a little scary.
January 9th, 2012 at 8:11 PM ^
And all the drama he brings...not
January 9th, 2012 at 8:19 PM ^
probably went into a withdrawal after seeing the school that "gave up on him" win the sugar bowl.
January 9th, 2012 at 9:10 PM ^
Was always an arrogant, cocky ahole.
January 9th, 2012 at 10:09 PM ^
Perfect? Let's just hope that the KID finds a place to get an education with or without football. Oh and lets hope he is safe.
January 9th, 2012 at 8:46 PM ^
Based on everything Tate has said and done, I get the impression that he was essentially bred to be a narcissist. That family is kind of nuts. Things went south at Michigan, he ego couldn't handle it. Says Dr. Freud.
January 9th, 2012 at 8:48 PM ^
Hope he can pull it together.
January 9th, 2012 at 9:01 PM ^
I really, really hate to go all MIke Valenti but I can't help but think that kid's father has had a far-less-than positive influence on him. This should be a good lesson to every dad who is overdoing it in pushing his kids to succeed in sports. Sometimes it's just not worth it.
January 9th, 2012 at 9:52 PM ^
The Marinovich Syndrome may be rearing its ugly head again
January 9th, 2012 at 9:34 PM ^
on a tweet? Really?
January 9th, 2012 at 9:51 PM ^
All he really needs is a tutor and a new coping mechanisim, hope he can find both, Good kid otherwise.
January 9th, 2012 at 10:04 PM ^
Hard for me to read some of the negative posts here; none of us know for sure what the back story is, and for all of his academic problems, he may very well be a nice kid.
I wish things could have worked out for him at Michigan. I like what he did for Michigan, and wish him well know matter what.
January 10th, 2012 at 5:40 PM ^
Maybe if you call him he will make out with you...
January 9th, 2012 at 10:39 PM ^
It seems to me Tate has played his last down as DI football player. From the outside looking in he seemed a likable kid, but he must have some serious demons. Certainly hope all turns out as well as possible for him.
