He's got until January 25 to enroll but has not done so yet. Does this mean he's on his way out, or is he slacking on picking his classes, or what?
January 12th, 2011 at 1:23 PM ^
He's gone.
January 12th, 2011 at 1:25 PM ^
Is this certain?
January 12th, 2011 at 1:46 PM ^
make the grades.
January 12th, 2011 at 4:11 PM ^
You mean he missed out on the bowl game becasue he did not make the required grades, right?
January 20th, 2011 at 8:49 PM ^
but i'm pretty sure it's not that he couldn't. i.e. he made his choice about whether or not he wanted to be here. personally i assumed Rod was like 70% fired as soon as i heard about Tate.
January 12th, 2011 at 1:25 PM ^
This is breaking news? They need to read mgoblog more.
January 12th, 2011 at 1:25 PM ^
he is transferring home to SDSU to be coached by a Michigan Man - d'OH!
January 12th, 2011 at 1:27 PM ^
you gave us a lot of great memories and will be missed.
January 12th, 2011 at 1:28 PM ^
Is anybody else having problems opening the Mgoboard threads to the right here? I cant' click on several of them.

Same here. the slight overall is being bogged down i think.

I would lean towards gone if he hasn't picked and enrolled in classes now he would be in for a tough time academically.
January 12th, 2011 at 1:31 PM ^
stop all the speculation and wait it out unttil we all know for certain that hes gone then be quiet
January 12th, 2011 at 1:57 PM ^
So if we just stop speculating Tate will come back? Then once we know he is gone we need to be quiet? Are you familiar with the purpose of a fan forum? Please tell me you didn't sign up just to post that bit of wisdom.

First of many I fear. When round peg meets square hold bad things happen.
See player attrition circa 2007-2008 for clarification.
January 12th, 2011 at 1:56 PM ^
What a ridiculous perspective. As of yesterday, Tate's got a much better chance of playing than he did a month ago, and you're calling him a round peg?
Let's learn a little bit more about the 'square hold,' and hope all of the players are doing the same.
UPDATE:
DB just reiterated at the press conference that "Tate is not with the program." He's basically saying no change since the bowl game.
January 12th, 2011 at 1:46 PM ^
If Tate wants to transfer, I wish him the best. If he can't handle the academic workload, that's too bad. We are more than fine at the QB position if Denard comes back. However, if he comes back he has my full support.
January 12th, 2011 at 1:49 PM ^
He is gone. The rumor right after his being declared academically ineligible was that he was transferring to U of Montana to get a shot at starting. Neither RR or BH had anything to do with this.
January 12th, 2011 at 1:50 PM ^
It's my understanding that people have three strikes in terms of academics. First strike is academic probation, second strike you have to take a semester off, and the third strike means you are done. He acknowledged that he struggled the first year and with his recent struggles this past semester, I would guess he is on the second strike. With the NCAA progress rules, I'd guess he is gone.

No, I have failed NCAA students--in my non-top150 college. If they are academically dismissed they still can come back after a semester or after community college.
Even a dismissal for academic integrity (plagiarism or cheating third offense) is only a one year NCAA suspension.

to Montana. he's gone.
January 12th, 2011 at 1:56 PM ^
per dave brandon, Tate gone..
January 12th, 2011 at 1:58 PM ^
If Tate goes to Montana, I will go to my first Grizzlies game (I've lived out here for 12 years) next fall.

Kinda makes keeping Denard even more important. We can't be left with Gardner, Kennedy, and some freshman Hoke may bring along.
January 12th, 2011 at 3:29 PM ^
All 3 Forcier's have tranferred from there original schoools, lol.
January 12th, 2011 at 3:54 PM ^
I was going to bring this up - isn't the Forcier family a travel band in NCAA Division 1 Football?
January 12th, 2011 at 11:16 PM ^
Tate blew it. He really could have had a decent college career if he would have selected a less prestegious university to play for. He had grade issues in high school its a wonder he made it through his freshman year.
Hope Denard does not bale. If so, we will be looking at a 2008 offense again. PLEASE NO! I COULD NOT SURVIVE THAT AGAIN.

Just saw the two of them eating lunch just outside Ann Arbor.
