Breaking - Tate Forcier Ineligible for Gator

What if we don't play DG to save his redshirt, and the NCAA says nuu-uh and doesn't give him another year?  That might drive me to nihilism.  

i negged you for typing in all CAPS..

Wheres David Cone when ya need um?

i dont understand why you would take more than the minimum 10 credits during football season.

sad news after the great start he had in ann arbor

But here's where we really miss Zoltan.  If Denard gets hurt, I'd have ZERO problem employing a "punt on 1st down" approach with the Space Emperor.  Frankly, I think we should have punted earlier and more often with Zoltan.

Ugh!  I still support Tate, but if it is true that it is grades again, it is very disappointing.  The kid apparently struggled in the offseason to keep his grades up and has continued to do so during the year.  I'm not going to get all high and mighty, but he has access to the type of resources that should prevent this from happening, and for it to (apparently) be a repeat is inexcussable. 

Come on down!  As long as you can run the ZR and throw screens you're all right by me.

Why couldn't the Coner had have just one more year of eligibility left?  WHY?

Maybe he can fill in?

fucking-christ people.  They ask that if you are going to make a comment and act like its a fact that at least you back it up with something.

Example:   Bad-Mike Martin is gonna go pro.

                    Good-Mike Martin may go pro.  Attach Link.

It's not just that he put his teammates in the lurch, it's that the news comes out two days after he runs his mouth in the press about how not flunking is "not that hard, all you have to do is go to class."

Tate has to know he's under a microscope.  He knows how important his role on this team became as the season progressed.  Keep your grades up, and for God's sake, if you're not going to do it (after all, there's no way you don't know if you're teetering on the edge of dropping below the minimum), don't give a quote like that in the media.

Does the NCAA frown upon a school who applies for a medical redshirt for a kid with a "back problem", only to watch said applicant play in a bowl game out of necessity?

Rich Rodriquez should never, ever play the lotto.  Unfortunate guy.

this is transfer related?

you are officially letting down the side. Even landsat photos made clear you were not much of a student, but. . . dang!

We'll be ok.

If it makes anyone feel better, sources tell me that Jack Kennedy tears it up as the scout team QB every week. Of course, he's tearing up our awful defense, but he's a smart kid who I would feel fine with playing instead of burning DG's medical redshirt.

crappy news about the football team is getting old... i'm going to watch the hockey team take down the GLI.

No problem.  Just build up a nice lead and let the defense do the rest. Oh wait... FML.

This is where the DB "decision" gets fairly interesting.  The long term interests of RR and Michigan might differ at this juncture.  RR wants to win this game.  Period.  Next year isn't much of a concern to RR at this point.  Michigan wants long term success of the program (and another year of Devin could bring that).  RR is also bright enough to know that his tenure in A2 could be coming to an end.  Does it make any difference to him if Devin plays?  Not really.  It also might be a little "fuck you" to his boss who let him twist in the wind for the last month.

On the other hand, whatever we think of the "decision", DB is doing a good thing for RR in letting him finish the season with his team.  I want RR gone, but believe he's earned the right to win this game (which I fully expect to happen) with his guys.  I just hope he isn't too pissed should Denard tweak something.

Go Blue!  And stay healthy Denard!
