Sam Webb says Tate is NOT transferring

Submitted by pullin4blue on

Just listented to WTKA where Sam said Tate is NOT transferring. Although he didn't talk to him directly he said to consider the source. Sam saw Tate at the team hotel, saw him getting on the bus going to practice yesterday afternoon.

What you're saying is Sam Webb THINKS Tate isn't transferring.  That's what I, and many other MGoPosters think too but until Tate actually says something it's just speculation.

If this is just considered speculation, then so is that girl's tweet. She said she had "a reliable source" as well.

As far as I'm concerned, just stating you have a reliable source is a hell of a lot different than citing that source or at least giving a name. This girl just wanted to create buzz, and she got it.

edit: if she does have a source, by the way, I trust Webb's a lot more. And Webb's sources probably aren't trying to get in his pants by giving up the big scoop. just sayin'.

You know what I always find lullzy? Whenever it's some news you don't like, there's always 100 jackholes demanding that people name their sources... even though, you know, that would compromise the source's ability to provide information in the future. But when it's some good news attributed to "reliable sources", nobody comes in and demands names. I mean, who is Sam Webb's source? Where are the demands for him to name names?

He wouldn't be going to practice if he was transferring.

Also this from TomVH

Mike Forcier, Tate's dad, laughed at the transfer rumors. Said they aren't true, and he wouldn't support it anyways.

Hopefully soon we hear something like "It's preposterous... hate having to speak to these rumors/lies... go hell Pretty Penn State Pants..." etc. from the university or Tate (or Tate's dad after having talked to Tate).  But until then I reserve the right to maintain yellow alert

Tate realizing he F'd up and working hard is about a good a scenario as we could have at this point.  Going from that to hearing transfer is a little too much to handle

BTW, FolmerWolv chimed in last night and said Tate was still very much in the QB race

weighed in yesterday with comments from Tate's Dad saying Tate was not transferring.  That is now double the number of sources contradicting what the hottie with the plastic cans was "reporting" yesterday.

...the professional hotty's source so we could consider the source of the source.   I prefer not to make judgments on the source based on her professional hotty status, but rather on her record of journalistic accomplishment or more accurately, lack thereof.

Methinks her bosses at the BTN can't be too pleased this morning.

...I'd agree with you about a media outlet being happy when one of their own garners attention.  Since the BTN is the conference's house organ, I'm not sure they'll like this sort of speculation about a student-athlete's status.

Here's how Imagine the situation:

BTN Exec 1:  " Bob, did you see what the professional hot chic tweeted last night?"

BTN Exec 2:  "Yes, Bob, I did.  Outrageous!  We should have a talk with her right now."

BTN Exec 1:  "Good idea.  Barbara, please send in professional hot chic.  Thank you."

Professional Hot Chic enters office. 

Professional Hot Chic:  "You gentlemen wanted to see me?"  Bats eyes. 

BTN Exec 1:  " Well, uh, we uuhhhhm.  Just wanted a, uh, moment to discuss the uhhh  .  .  .  .Bob what was it that we wanted to discuss?"

BTN Exec 2:  "You're looking very professional today."

BTN Exec 1:  "Yes yes.  and hot."

BTN Exec 2:  "Of course!  Did I not mention that?  My apologies.  You ae looking very professional and hot today.  Was there something else, Bob?"

BTN Exec 1:  "No no.  I beleive that was it.  Thank you." 

Professional Hot Chic blows each of them a kiss before leaving the office. 

BTN Exec 1:  " Well, I think that went very well.  What do you think, Bob?"

BTN Exec 2:  "I like her."

That woman is ruining my life. Seeing as how I work in a seminary, it's a little inconvenient having to avoid the front page all day.

I've had as much fun with this as anyone... but we might want to dial the misogyny down to like an "8."  We hold the high ground as the wronged party here, but not by much. 

Just a thought.
