Probably Unnecessary Forcier Transfer Update
In case the Forcier Transfer tweet going all Keyser Soze five minutes after it was posted…
…was not indication enough, Tom got in touch with Tate's dad, who laughed the rumors off:
Mike Forcier, Tate's dad, laughed at the transfer rumors. Said they aren't true, and he wouldn't support it anyways.
This tweet is still up.
Melanie Collins, meanwhile, has mastered the art of 21st century apologizing by admitting nothing, claiming her righteousness, and blathering insane nonsense:
Twitter is an outlet to post thoughts, provoke conversation & share info I'm hearing. I never once said there was any truth to Forcier rumor
No truth, just from a "very reliable source." This flies if your bio says you're a pathological liar. Collins's does not, unfortunately. Wait a minute… AH-HA! CAUGHT YOU RED HANDED, I DID.
I probably shouldn't have posted anything on a rumor that seemed specious enough to cloak it in the skepticism/fatalism I did, but I figured since she was and is a Big Ten Network "personality" that it was worth posting. Sorry about that. On a side note: message board folk should drop it since the chatter has degenerated into "I would do her so hard and then put her in an apron so she can make me a sandwich which is all women are good for help me I've never touched one." Don't post anything your mother doesn't want to read. Or my mother.
And Kelvin Grady has the last word:

That does not look like someone who spends his time talking to hot women.
August 19th, 2010 at 10:14 PM ^
"Even on a slow day, I can have a three way....chat with two women at one time."
August 19th, 2010 at 11:59 AM ^
Thank goodness - if Tate were to transfer, that would mean the end to all of the Tate v. Denard comment threads that we all know and love.
August 19th, 2010 at 12:01 PM ^
I really hate the fact that sports networks hire these hot girls in low cut dresses to report on sports. There are places for women like her - how about Girls Gone Wild or the Playboy Channel? If she expects to be taken seriously, she probably shouldn't have spread herself all over the internet in a bikini, and then made incredibly stupid comments about potentially destructive tweets she posted. There are women out there who can report on sports with some degree of credibility, so please BTN and the rest of you, stop bringing on these bimbos. They're jokes, and they make you look like a joke.

Comm majors have to go somewhere....

August 19th, 2010 at 12:50 PM ^
You, MGoJen and Wendy5k should be sideline reporters on the BTN. You'd be much better informed, and actually be in possession of gray matter between your ears. You'd be a little biased, sure, but I think those of us on the board could forgive you for it.
August 19th, 2010 at 12:53 PM ^
They could find any in Engineering...
OH SNAP
August 19th, 2010 at 1:07 PM ^
I was a communications major. Of course, it got me nothing.
August 19th, 2010 at 1:25 PM ^
Wendyk5 for sideline reporter campaign starts here. Spread the word people.
August 19th, 2010 at 12:03 PM ^
Jen Sterger tweets that Brett Farve will be traded to and also start for the Jets!
August 19th, 2010 at 12:03 PM ^
My mother would never want to read about me breaking down UM's secondary depth.
I'm going to just have to sit back and read for awhile...
August 19th, 2010 at 12:57 PM ^
Luckily my mother would probably do Melanie Collins, so I guess some inane comments are still fair game.
August 19th, 2010 at 12:04 PM ^
That damn Melanie Collins is such a liar...oh, wait a second, my god is she hot. Who cares if she makes stuff up?
August 19th, 2010 at 12:05 PM ^
Don't post anything your mother doesn't want to read. Or my mother.So wait, does this mean that my mother and your mother do or do not want to read about how incredibly heterosexual I am, and the unrealistic fantasies I have about women who I have absolutely no chance with?
August 19th, 2010 at 1:22 PM ^
I heard it from a credible source that Mrs. Cook is a saint. So there is that to think about.
August 19th, 2010 at 12:07 PM ^
EXACTLY what Brian's mom likes to read.
OH!
Actually, I don't, but I have subscriptions to redbook and good housekeeping if she's interested in borrowing my old copies.
August 19th, 2010 at 1:24 PM ^
Good Housekeeping
August 19th, 2010 at 1:35 PM ^
Good Housekeeping is NON-pornographic...?
August 19th, 2010 at 1:51 PM ^
Did we just become best friends?!
August 19th, 2010 at 2:15 PM ^
Housekeeping = cleaning the pipes.
August 19th, 2010 at 12:07 PM ^

It's good to laugh. Thanks Brian.
August 19th, 2010 at 12:14 PM ^
her sandwiches are anything like her reporting, I'll pass.
August 19th, 2010 at 12:22 PM ^
If there's one thing I hate, it's an inaccurate sandwich.
August 19th, 2010 at 12:39 PM ^
If they are anything like her... um... the rest of her, then I'll take two!
August 19th, 2010 at 12:08 PM ^
Tate buzzes Segese's interview - doesn't look like someone who wants to leave.
August 19th, 2010 at 12:49 PM ^
Thank for posting. Glad to see he's still having fun and playing around after everything that's gone down recently.
August 19th, 2010 at 1:20 PM ^
A friend of a friend of a hot BTN reporter told me that she has a reliable source that told her that WOOOO is code for "I'm gonna transfer!"
I mean, can't you hear the anger in that WOOO?
August 19th, 2010 at 12:09 PM ^
This doesn't mean he's not transferring, it just means he's not transferring YET.
August 19th, 2010 at 12:11 PM ^
the next time you get neg-banged to oblivion.
August 19th, 2010 at 12:11 PM ^
Kelvin Grady FTW.

Viva la cheesecake. It was crude, but a part of EDSBS I enjoyed.
August 19th, 2010 at 12:23 PM ^
I doubt she calls herself a journalist, and she's likely done a nice little self-promo job. Anyone know who she was before this? Nope...ok...hardly anyone. Now, she has her name (and nice pics) all over the interwebs. It's like a sex tape without all the shame.
In any event, I'd rather look at her (inaccurate as she may be) than cry the tears of infinite sadness over the secondary.
August 19th, 2010 at 12:38 PM ^
At least she looks like she'd be pretty good at sex. She really sucks at journalism.
August 19th, 2010 at 12:23 PM ^
People are being too harsh on this woman. She said in her tweet that it was unconfirmed, so I don't know why she should be criticized. Obviously, if she just made it up out of thin air, that's a problem. But it is very well possible that someone told her Tate was transferring, which is all her tweet really said. It really wouldn't surprise anyone if he did.
August 19th, 2010 at 12:28 PM ^
Would you say the same if she wasnt hot?
August 19th, 2010 at 4:09 PM ^
I'm just saying if someone says "here's a rumor. It's unconfirmed and I don't know if it's true," you can't blame the messenger if it turns out to be untrue. You were warned and can only blame yourself.
August 19th, 2010 at 12:44 PM ^
Disagree... not harsh enough.
If someone doesn't understand the power of the internet by now, they shouldn't be using it. For someone to tweet some unsubstantiated bullshit, and then back away when people call her on said bullshit, is disengenous at best.
She knew what she was doing, she pulled a Herbstreit.
August 19th, 2010 at 1:01 PM ^
Are you by chance Melanie Collins?
August 19th, 2010 at 12:24 PM ^
conjuring Mike Brady "Kids, I think we all learned a valuable lesson: Melanie Collins is hot and hot women are not to be trusted."
August 19th, 2010 at 12:26 PM ^
It seems she could really use the experience. Can't stand people who talk shit and then back away like it's your fault that they could be misunderstood.
August 19th, 2010 at 12:36 PM ^
Come out ye foul spirit!
August 19th, 2010 at 12:44 PM ^
I hope the BTN has at least read her the riot act if this is her first major screwup. (If it isn't, she should probably be fired.) She needs to understand that passing on unfounded rumors is the opposite of journalism.
August 19th, 2010 at 12:49 PM ^
"Twitter is an outlet to post thoughts, provoke conversation & share info I'm hearing. I never once said there was any truth to Forcier rumor."
Are you for real?
So, she covers up for gross incompetence by insulting people's intelligence, trying talk this bullshit?
What a stupid tw_t.
(By the way, it's an "i" that goes in the blank above. As in, stupid twit. Stupid tweeting twit, in fact.)
August 19th, 2010 at 1:01 PM ^
What do you expect, she went to Penn State.
