Wetzel took Jabba Weis' comment the other day about Tate as fact, and didn't check the facts. A simple google search would have shown that Tate spent all four years at Scripps Ranch High School. I like the publicity that Tate's getting, but that's some really bad reporting by Wetzel.

Great piece. I really like Wetzel, he usually is fair and unbiased and writes well...descriptive and to the point. If anyone should be publishing books its Wetzel.... Anyway...this feels so much better than last year doesnt it?? :) An old coal miner in the stands Saturday was nearly in tears over seeing the weight of the Big House lift off his son’s shoulders. Vince Rodriguez had a simple dream for his three boys: never experience the fear he did the first time he descended into the black of Federal No. 1, to pound out a paycheck from Eastern Association Coal Corp. “Anything but the coal mines,” Vince Rodriguez said. The last thing Vince thought he’d see is one of his boys deal with a different kind of pressure as a rich and famous college football coach. “He doesn’t sleep right,” Vince said. “He doesn’t eat right. It’s rough on him. It’s rough on his family. [The win] takes all the pressure off of him.”
