kubrick66, Tate is awesome, ESPN reported he will even get to share snaps with the immortal Nick Sheridan for the opener. So he's already neck and neck with a QB of Sheridan's stature. Talk about rising to the top. Considering none of his brothers have ever been motivated or talented enough to be starters at the college level should give you some idea to his potential. If RR lasts more than 2-3 more years, he will probably have brought in an elite QB, not some dwarf that was the #100 recruit in the nation. Enjoy that Motor City Bowl trip this year, by the way.

Hills, aka long time blue, scooter etc, etc... Your hate for Michigan runs deep. There is fear in your voice. What will you do when Tate and RR prove you wrong? The youngest brother always has to fight the hardest. Tate will do what it takes to be successful at Michigan. He thrives off your kind.

Is he going to transfer elsewhere if he's not starting? It's not like members of the Forcier family have displayed immense loyalty to their previous teams, to say the least. Seeing how both of his brothers left their original schools to try to play elsewhere, I won't be surprised when Tate packs his bags and bolts to some powerhouse like Iowa State or Baylor in a couple of seasons. That might be right around the time DickRod starts updating his resume, as well. What school wouldn't go wild about landing the former #100 ranked HS player in the nation? Unless of course, you had several of the 1-99 ranked players of the class already on your roster.
