Hey Ponder! Those guys we see darting across the field with defenders trailing behind them are wide-open receivers. Jennings running across the back of the endzone is another wide-open receiver. Do you not see them or do you just choose to not hit them because you aren't confident you can hit a target going across the field?
"If at first you don't succeed, parachuting is not for you"
Ponder played well in the second half, but like the last game, he made one huge mistake that cost us points. That can't happen.
Our defense was inexcusable again. Sanford had what is likely the worst game of his career, holy cow was he awful. He was on the wrong end of every bad defensive play we had it seemed, and there were a lot. Based on the first two games, this might be one of the worst defensive teams we've had somehow, and we had a lot of bad defenses from 99-05.
We gave up a field goal we let them go 80 yards in less than a minute to end the half and then of course let them easily drive down the field to win the game.
What a stupid play call by Musgrave. They can't stop us in the air, but for some reason we decided to play for the field goal.
Between the drop by Wright (I'm sure it was Ponder's fault somehow), Ponder's pick 6, the stupid playcalling on our final drive, still not adjusting to people throwing underneath passes all day, letting the offense walk straight down the field at the end of both halves (and for most of the game actually), and not being able to cover a kickoff, we could have won this game easily, but it typically fashion, we completely blew it and our season is now over.

How can anyone expect the Queens to win when the offensive line doesn't know how to block, we have a weak QB, and a GM and Coach that keep ignoring a guy like Patterson.None

We need to step back for a minute, and think beyond Ponder. No, he did not have a good first half. He didn't have an overly fantastic second half, but he did alot better.
Our problems: Devin Hester averaging almost 50 yards per kickoff return on five returns kills you. WHen you go down the field and score, then give them the ball right back past the 40 yard line, that's not a recipe for success. 25 yards and they are in field goal range.
THe pick by K-W in the endzone was great. Pick-Six only a few plays later was not. That can't happen. Taking away the ball is great, giving it right back is awful. GIving it back for a touchdown is the worst.
Strip-Fumble and return for a TD was fantastic. Momentum we really needed. THen, sure enough Hester rips off a long return to give them points back.
AP fumbling also can't happen. I rewatched that fumble, it was pure technique. It wasn't an overly good play by Chicago. AP just didn't take the handoff properly, and never had a good handle on the ball. After the third return, we should have just pooch kicked it to the 20. Accept the ball at the 30, instead of pretending that we're going to stop Hester.
The line play was just awful. I didn't watch anybody specifically, but Ponder was flushed from the pocket regularly. I'm not sure if this is on Ponder, whether he should have gotten rid of the ball by then, or just not giving him a chance to make a throw. We weren't opening up holes for AP either.
Coaching, IMO wasn't that bad. We made adjustments and started moving the ball. Our D was just poor. Going for it on fourth down was a good call. In any other game, kicking the field goal to go up by six was a good call. However, for us, I'd rather take our chances in overtime. That's a 50/50 for coin flip and getting the ball. That's a better chance than thinking we're not going to give up a TD. Go for the TD on fourth, if we miss, we leave the bears pinned back down by 3. If they get a FG, fine, we try in OT. instead, we give them the ball at the 30, and they score a TD.
On D, I don't know what we were thinking the last play. They ran a crossing route, and Bennett was WIDE open. IN the redzone, you don't leave a big TE wide open. Then would be a good time to blitz Cutler and man up. Cook was out of position, and got there too late to stop the play.

Cook was defending two receivers. He asked for help from Smith and didn't get it. Smith owned up to it.
There was no way we were going to win with Ponder giving up 249 return yards to Devin Hester. Then to cap it off Ponder lets the Bores march downfield for a game winning TD in the final minutes. I think CP has given up the third most points in the league. We have no chance with him.Why must you defend everything this FO does....to the point of making your self look like a yes man.
Yeah, Ponder wasn't exclusively to blame but just the fact that we basically took no shots at the end zone to try and score a TD tells me something needs to change on offense. It isn't just him but it has been this way with every QB since Brad Johnson except Brett. Other than that we seem to never take a shot at the end zone when we get past the 40 and IMHO we should be looking to do that on every drive.
The goal on offense should be to score a TD every single drive. Obviously that won't happen but it certainly will happen more if you expect it to happen than if you just play to get close and then settle for a FG when the drive stalls.
Probably already mentioned in here, but Ponder continued to roll-out to his left. If Musgrave is calling these plays intentionally, he NEEDS to be fired. What moron calls QB roll-out out to the left with a right handed QB? He's done it all season.
Hester always has a game against us, no shock there.Disclaimer: I'm an idiot.

In a nutshell: Arthur Miller's account of the 17th-century witch trials in Salem, Massachusetts was inspired by the paranoia about Communists. These days, however, this superb play strikes different notes. It now seems to be about the present danger of religious fundamentalism, and of the mindset of those who believe that they should kill in the name of God – and this staging, starring Richard Armitage, is electrifying

Bills cut 5 players, including WR Da'Rick Rogers
Posted at: 08/26/2013 12:46 PM | Updated at: 08/26/2013 12:47 PM
|Print Story
Undrafted rookie receiver Da'Rick Rogers was one of five players released by the Buffalo Bills.
The Bills, on Monday, also released defensive backs Dominique Ellis and Jumal Rolle, receiver DeMarco Sampson, and center Ryan Turnley. The moves were made a day before NFL teams are required to trim their rosters to 75 players.
Rogers failed to make an impact in Buffalo in a bid to make a fresh start following a troubled college career. As a sophomore in 2011, Rogers led Tennessee with 67 catches for 1,040 yards and nine touchdowns.
He was forced to transfer to Tennessee Tech last summer after the Volunteers suspended him indefinitely for violating team rules. Rogers said the suspension was the result of him failing multiple drug tests.

What is amprenavir (Agenerase Oral Solution)?
Amprenavir is an antiviral medication in a group of HIV medicines called protease (PRO-tee-ayz) inhibitors. Amprenavir prevents human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) cells from multiplying in your body.
Amprenavir is used to treat HIV, which causes acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Amprenavir is not a cure for HIV or AIDS.
Amprenavir may also be used for purposes other than those listed in this medication guide.
What are the possible side effects of amprenavir (Agenerase Oral Solution)?
Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficulty breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Stop taking amprenavir and call your doctor at once if you have any of these serious side effects:
- fever, sore throat, and headache with a severe blistering, peeling, and red skin rash;
- pale or yellowed skin, dark colored urine, fever, confusion or weakness;
- increased urination or extreme thirst;
- easy bruising or bleeding;
- signs of a new infection, such as fever or chills, cough, or flu symptoms; or
- seizures, muscle pain and weakness, fast heart rate, numbness or cold feeling in your arms or legs (while using amprenavir oral liquid).
Keep taking the medication and talk with your doctor if you have any of these less serious side effects:
- nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, stomach pain;
- numbness or tingling, especially around your mouth;
- headache, mood changes; or
- changes in the shape or location of body fat (especially in your arms, legs, face, neck, breasts, and waist).
Side effects other than those listed here may also occur. Talk to your doctor about any side effect that seems unusual or that is especially bothersome.
Read the Agenerase Oral Solution (amprenavir oral solution) Side Effects Center for a complete guide to possible side effects
What is the most important information I should know about amprenavir (Agenerase Oral Solution)?
Do not take amprenavir with cisapride (Propulsid), pimozide (Orap), midazolam (Versed), triazolam (Halcion), or an ergot medicine such as Ergomar, Cafergot, Wigraine, D.H.E. 45, Migranal, Methergine, and others. These drugs can cause life-threatening side effects if you use them while you are taking amprenavir.
Amprenavir oral liquid should also not be taken with disulfiram (Antabuse) or metronidazole (Flagyl).
There are many other medicines that can interact with amprenavir. Tell your doctor about all the prescription and over-the-counter medications you use. This includes vitamins, minerals, herbal products, and drugs prescribed by other doctors. Do not start using a new medication without telling your doctor. Keep a list with you of all the medicines you use and show this list to any doctor or other healthcare provider who treats you.
HIV/AIDS is usually treated with a combination of different drugs. To best treat your condition, use all of your medications as directed by your doctor. Do not change your doses or medication schedule without advice from your doctor. Every person with HIV or AIDS should remain under the care of a doctor.
Taking amprenavir will not prevent you from passing HIV to other people through unprotected sex or sharing of needles. Talk with your doctor about safe methods of preventing HIV transmission during sex, such as using a condom and spermicide. Sharing drug or medicine needles is never safe, even for a healthy person.

Rubin Winner Fires U-20 MNT Past Fluminense in Double Overtime
The U-20 MNT, which has won all four of its tournament matches, will face fellow Bracket C qualifiers River Plate in Sunday's final after the Argentine club defeated Coritiba of Brazil 2-0 in the day's first Super Group semifinal. The final, which kicks off at 6 p.m. CT at the Cotton Bowl, will be broadcast on Time Warner Cable, Time Warner Deportes and on local radio via ESPN Deportes Dallas.
The winning goal was Rubin's second strike in the match as well as his second consecutive match-winner; he delivered the game's only goal in the U-20 MNT's 1-0 win against UANL Tigres that secured the Americans' advancement as winners of Bracket C. Between Rubin's brace and Fluminense's comeback, Ben Spencer also scored, giving him three goals in the tournament and tying him with Rubin atop the U-20 MNT's tournament scoring chart.
The U-20 MNT began the game with a quick-fire double before 20 minutes had elapsed. First, Rubin opened the scoring in the 14th minute, tucking home an assist from Zach Pfeffer, before Spencer found the back of the net four minutes later with a headed shot from a Romain Gall free kick.
Fluminense cut into the Americans' lead before the break, climbing within a goal at 2-1.
From there, the match quickly turned against the U.S. as center back Erik Palmer-Brown received a second yellow card just three minutes after halftime, forcing the U-20s to contend the rest of the match with only 10 men.
With regulation set to expire, Fluminense grabbed an equalizer in the third minute of second-half stoppage time.
In the first 10-minute overtime period with the match poised at 2-2, U.S. forward Jordan Allen nearly grabbed the go-ahead goal, but his effort struck the post. Minutes later, the U.S. found itself back on even footing when Fluminense defender Derlan Bento was sent off after also receiving a second yellow card.
Two minutes after the overtime break, Allen won the U-20 MNT a penalty kick. Rubin took the PK attempt and scored by collecting the rebound from his initial penalty kick attempt that was saved by Fluminense goalkeeper Matheus Phillipe Gomes and coolly depositing it in the back of the net.
The U-20 MNT wasn't over the line just yet, and needed goalkeeper Santiago Castano to deny a River Plate breakaway with three minutes remaining to hang on for the win.

U-20 MNT Opens Dallas Cup with Comeback Win
DALLAS, Texas (April 13, 2014) – Two goals from Ben Spencer, including the game-winner, plus a third from Rubio Rubin lifted the U.S. Under-20 Men's National Team to a 3-2 comeback win against Argentina's Club Athletico River Plate in the teams' opening Gordon Jago Super Group match at the 2014 Dallas Cup on Sunday.
The U-20 MNT (1-0-0, 3pts) leads Bracket C of the Super Group followed by Germany's Eintracht Frankfurt (0-0-1, 1pt) and Mexico's UANL Tigres (0-0-1, 1pt), after the two sides tied 2-2 earlier in the day.
Spencer opened the scoring in the 15th minute after a nice interchange with Jordan Allen set him up to fake an initial shot before curling the ball into the upper right corner from the top of the River Plate box.
The South American side responded quickly with Alan Arario leveling the match at 1-1 three minutes later.
Brajan Molina then gave River Plate the lead 10 minutes before the break when a back-post cross was headed across the face of goal by Juan Kaprof for Molina to nod home.
Down 2-1 to begin the second half, the U-20 MNT was patient in finding an equalizer, which came in the 74th minute. Rubin brought down a long pass from Allen with his chest at the top of River Plate's penalty area and took one touch to settle the ball before lofting it over the goalkeeper.
Sensing the opportunity to seize the win, the U.S. pressed the issue, and when Kellyn Acosta was felled in the box just five minutes later, Spencer stepped up to bury the ensuing penalty kick into the lower left corner.
The U-20 MNT next plays Eintracht Frankfurt on Monday at 4 p.m. CT at Richland College before finishing Bracket C play with UANL Tigres on Wednesday (time and location to be determined).

Ramos Names 21-Player Squad for Dallas Cup
CHICAGO (April 9, 2014) – U.S. Under-20 Men's National Team head coach Tab Ramos has named a 21-player roster for the 35th edition of the Dallas Cup, which takes place April 13-20 in Dallas, Texas. The U.S. is in Bracket C of the Gordon Jago Super Group along with U-19 sides from Eintracht Frankfurt of Germany, River Plate of Argentina and UANL Tigres of Mexico.
Making its fifth all-time appearance at the competition and first since 2010, the U-20 MNT's first match will be the marquee game of the opening day of the tournament. Following a pair of Super Group matches and the Welcome World Opening Ceremonies, the U.S. will play River Plate at 6:30 p.m. CT in the Cotton Bowl on April 13. The U.S. then plays its second match less than 24 hours later against Eintracht Frankfurt on the campus of Richland College at 4 p.m. CT.
The U.S. concludes Bracket C play against UANL Tigres on April 16. The location and time of the match will be determined by results in the first two rounds across Super Group Brackets A, B and C with the purpose being to hold the two most potentially dramatic games of bracket play in the Cotton Bowl.
The roster relies heavily on players who have previously been involved in the U.S. Youth National Team program or received a call-up to the current edition of the U.S. U-20 MNT. Nineteen players either took part in the team's foreign training camp in Verona, Italy last November or its domestic training camp held in Lakewood Ranch, Fla., this past January.
Of the two players receiving their first call-up to the U-20 National Team, only Erik Palmer-Brown (Sporting Kansas City) has previously represented the U.S. at the Youth National Team level; Jesus Vazquez (UANL Tigres) is receiving his first call-up at any level for the U.S.
Also a relative newcomer to the Youth National Team program, Luis Felipe (Cruzeiro) is receiving his second call-up to a U.S. roster; his only previous experience with the U.S. came during the U-20 MNT's recent January camp.
The next event for the U.S. U-20 MNT after the Dallas Cup will be a domestic training camp held at North Carolina State University in May.
Roster by Position:
GOALKEEPERS (2) : Santiago Castano (NewYork Red Bulls; Union City, N.J.), Zack Steffen (Maryland; Downington, Pa.)
DEFENDERS (8): Michael Amick (UCLA; Sunnyvale, Calif.), Sullaiman Dainkeh (Maryland; Reston, Va.), Trevor Haberkorn (Furman; Roanoke, Texas), Matthew Miazga (New York Red Bulls; Clifton, N.J.), Shaquell Moore (Unattached; Powder Springs, Ga.), Erik Palmer-Brown (Sporting KC; Lee's Summit, Mo.), John Requejo Jr. (Real So Cal; Carpinteria, Calif.), Jesus Vazquez (UANL Tigres; San Luis Obispo, Calif.)
MIDFIELDERS (5): Kellyn Acosta (FC Dallas; Plano, Texas), Marco Delgado (Chivas USA; Glendora, Calif.), Luis Felipe (Cruzeiro; Ouro Branco, Brazil), Romain Gall (FC Lorient; Herndon, Va.), Lynden Gooch (Sunderland; Santa Cruz, Calif.)

Additional Notes:
- The U-20 MNT roster is made up of players primarily born in 1995, with the exceptions being Luis Felipe, Shaquell Moore, John Requejo Jr. and Rubio Rubin, who were all born in 1996, as well as the only 1997-born player, Erik Palmer-Brown.

- Eight players took part in both of the U-20 MNT's first two training camps of the current cycle that began last fall, including: Castano, Delgado, Lopez, Miazga, Moore, Moreno, Pfeffer and Requejo Jr.

One-time Michigan quarterback Tate Forcier is continuing his football career in the CFL.
Like us to subscribe
If you blinked once you probably missed it. After being under contract by the Canadian Football League's Hamilton Tiger-Cats for exactly 33 days, former Michigan quarterback Tate Forcier was released by the team on Friday morning and is now forced to once again ponder his future as an athlete.
Aside from the fact that the Tiger-Cats made their first exhibition appearance on Wednesday and are still preparing for the start of their 2012 campaign, Forcier managed to toss an interception on just four pass attempts in his brief stint on the field. His dual-threat ability (he ran for seven yards on a single attempt) clearly wasn't enough to impress the coaching staff in the end either, as his small frame and inconsistent arm were each clearly working against him from the beginning.
Likely to be the No. 4 quarterback behind a list of names that included onetime Central Michigan touchdown machine Dan LeFevour, Forcier is now rapidly running out of suitors for his services as a compensated quarterback. His unorthodox style of playing the position seemed to be tailor-made for the CFL's game, but now there are serious questions about whether he'll ever get another shot to play professional football.
For more on Forcier's next move, stay with this StoryStream. For more Michigan football coverage, head over to Maize n Brew. And for more college football news and analysis, be sure to visit SB Nation's NCAA football hub.
All of his training sessions with NFL veteran Jeff Garcia appear to have paid off, as former Michigan quarterback Tate Forcier announced that he officially signed a deal to play professional football in Canada for the next three years. The Associated Press' Larry Lage confirmed the report:
Former #Michigan QB Tate Forcier confirmed in a text message to AP that he signed a 3-year deal with CFL's Hamilton Tiger-Cats.— Larry Lage (@LarryLage) May 15, 2012
Once one of the most beloved figures on campus (albeit not for very long), there was a time when Forcier appeared to have legitimate NFL potential despite his lack of size and questionable arm strength. His disjointed college career certainly didn't do him any favors though, and he was never able to get on the field after transferring to San Jose State due to academic concerns.
Forcier's choice in a mentor is also intriguing, if only because Garcia made a career as a scrambling, non-traditional quarterback who also lacked elite arm strength. The parallels between the two players at this same point in their respective careers is impossible to ignore, meaning that Tate will definitely have a helpful voice of wisdom in his ear as he transitions to the pro game.
It is expected that he'll slot in as a backup or third-stringer until he proves himself, but a dual threat like Forcier could certainly find a home in the CFL, so it will be interesting to see how he performs when/if he gets on the field.
For more on Michigan football, head over to Maize N Brew.
The saga of former Michigan Wolverines quarterback Tate Forcier took another turn recently.
On Thursday, Joe Schad of ESPN reported that Forcier claims to be training with former NFL quarterback Jeff Garcia in San Diego. Forcier also stated that there are a few CFL teams interested in acquiring his services.
At last report, Forcier had withdrawn from classes at his last school, where he tried to make a go of it as a member of the San Jose St. Spartans. It appears as though Forcier is taking the less-traveled route of independent training to his goal of professional football, since college ball has not really panned out for him so far.
The Forcier journey has had more than a few twists and turns along the way. Forcier left Michigan in January of 2011 after he was declared ineligible for the Gator Bowl and was replaced on the Wolverines by Brady Hoke. He had initially intended to transfer to the Miami Hurricanes, but as with many other elements of this story, that didn't go exactly as planned.
It's been almost a year since Tate Forcier left the University of Michigan to try this football thing elsewhere. So we might be reaching the point where it's no longer a "Michigan-related" story.
But the former Wolverines quarterback is on the move yet again, after withdrawing from classes at San Jose State. According to the San Jose Mercury News' Jon Wilner, academics were a factor in his decision to leave.
Forcier still apparently hasn't figured out colleges don't let you do the football thing if you don't do the school thing, as well. Failure to complete his course work was reportedly a reason for his benching and eventual departure from Michigan.
So what now for the nomadic Forcier? After leaving Michigan, he had a list of nine schools he was considering a transfer to. That list was eventually whittled down to five, four of which were FBS (Division I-A) programs.
Forcier actually chose to go to Miami initially, but changed his mind three months later for "personal reasons," believed to be a desire to play closer to his California home.
The FCS program Forcier considered was Montana, which seems a likely next destination if he wants to play again soon. Yet Forcier was set to be the starter at San Jose State next season, so playing time or placement on the depth chart wasn't an issue. If he's not going to do what's necessary to stay eligible, it won't matter where he goes because he won't be allowed to play.
Thus continues what's becoming an increasingly sad story. It's easy to snicker at Forcier leaving yet another school, but there may be larger issues to consider here. Last May, Forcier was involved in an incident that ended with a call to police and a trip to the hospital.
It's difficult to believe that a career that started out with so much promise and acclaim at Michigan has now come to this. But that 2009 season feels like a long time ago.
Former Michigan quarterback Tate Forcier is officially transferring to San Jose State. Forcier decided on San Jose State after visiting the school earlier this week.
"It felt right," Forcier said. "I loved the coaches and felt comfortable with them. I really believe I can help that team and I'm going to do everything I possibly can to help them."
After leaving the University of Michigan, Forcier originally planned to transfer to Miami (FL). Those plans fell through, however, and Forcier had been on the search for a new school for the last two months. Auburn was once mentioned as a possibility, as was Montana, San Diego State and Hawaii. In the end, Forcier decided to become a Spartan -- a San Jose State Spartan, that is.
Forcier will have to sit out the 2011 season as part of transferring. He will be able to play starting in 2012 and will have two years of eligibility left.
It's been almost two weeks since former Michigan quarterback Tate Forcier announced that he would not be transferring to the University of Miami, as originally planned.
On Tuesday, Forcier talked to ESPN's Joe Schad, who had become an unofficial spokesperson for the quarterback as he decided where he would play football next. During their chat, he explained what exactly convinced him that Coral Gables wasn't the best place for him. Apparently, Forcier finally looked at a map and realized Florida is a long way from California.
From ESPN.com:
"I just didn't feel comfortable and wanted to be closer to home," Forcier said. "Miami is completely on the other side of the country. It would have been fun playing there. But I just wanted to be closer so my parents can afford to come to the games."
Perhaps the impulsiveness of Forcier's decision finally dawned on him. Originally, he was set to visit five schools, including Kansas State, Washington, Arizona and Montana. Miami was believed to be the first stop on his tour, and Forcier quickly decided that's where he wanted to transfer. It's not known if he got around to visiting the other programs.
According to Schad, Forcier has drawn up a new list of possible transfer destinations. Kansas State and Montana (where he's long been rumored to end up) are still on his list. The other programs he's looking at are mostly California schools, including USC and his hometown University of San Diego and San Diego State.
Forcier is also interested in Auburn. That's probably an astute choice, since the Tigers just won the national championship. But Forcier may also want to consult a map, since Auburn is about 2,000 miles away from San Diego. It's approximately 800 miles closer than Miami, but would still be quite a trip for his parents to make every football Saturday.
After it became obvious that Michigan wasn't all that interested in keeping Tate Forcier after he had grade issues in the fall 2010 semester, the decision to transfer was made. Forcier had five schools on his final list, and he ultimately chose Miami (FL). The reason Forcier chose Miami was that it "had the best opportunity" and there was a lot of "positive energy" with new head coach Al Golden.
Fast forward to now and Forcier is not going to Miami, according to ESPN.com's Heather Dinich. Forcier's reasoning to not make the move to Miami is "because of personal reasons," and the report later states that this was a family decision.
Immediately there was speculation that Forcier wasn't going to transfer because Miami just got a transfer from former Memphis QB Ryan Williams. Both ESPN and the Miami Herald report that Forcier's decision was made before Williams decided to join Miami, though.
As of right now it's not clear where Forcier will end up, but perhaps it will be one of the other schools on his original list of possible destinations.
Former Michigan quarterback Tate Forcier, who announced on Wednesday that he's transferring to Miami, spoke with the Detroit Free Press about leaving Ann Arbor. Saying he "never wanted to leave," Forcier believes Michigan athletic director Dave Brandon is ultimately the reason for his transfer.
"I felt like things could have been handled better. (Athletic director) Dave Brandon made his mind up. We tried hard (to stay). I took care of my incompletes. I needed a certain amount of credits. The incompletes, I took care of those. Dave Brandon still wouldn't let me stay. He refused to even meet with us. That's his decision; we really didn't want to fight it. That was his decision, that's the head guy. I didn't want to challenge him. I'm not going to win something like that with somebody as high up as he was. When he did that, it was time to turn a new chapter."
However, Brandon denies Forcier's account of the proceedings. In a separate story, he told the Freep (through associate athletic director Dave Ablauf) that Forcier and his family wanted to meet at a time when Brandon wasn't available. (Maybe while Brandon was trying to hire a new head football coach?)
But Brandon wanted to reschedule and that message was relayed to the Forciers personally by assistant athletic director Brian Townsend. Yet the Forciers never followed up to schedule another meeting.
In his interview with the Freep's Mark Snyder, Forcier also confirmed that he only visited Miami, making his decision to join the Hurricanes before checking out the other four schools on his list. Other topics discussed include his new coach, Al Golden, and a conversation he had with former Michigan quarterbacks coach Rod Smith.
Tate Forcier is taking his talents to South Beach.
(I apologize for that. Too easy. Hey, sometimes news puts a headline or lede up on a tee. We have to take a swing. There it is. And I was doing so well with not writing "taking his talents to…" in any blog post. We'll try to do better the next time.)
The former Michigan quarterback will be transferring to the University of Miami, as reported first by the Palm Beach Post. The Hurricanes were on a list of five programs Forcier was considering.
ESPN's Joe Schad has been Forcier's contact in the media throughout the process of leaving Michigan and deciding on a new school. So as you'd expect, he's the one who got a quote from Forcier. (It was either Schad or a multi-post announcement on Twitter.)
"Miami had the best opportunity," Forcier told ESPN. "There is so much positive energy around this program and I really want to be apart of it. I love these coaches an feel like they are the right guys for me. I had a great visit and I really want to be a part of the rebirth at Miami."
Forcier said he planned to visit each of the five potential destinations this week. Miami was believed to be the first stop on his tour. But it's not known if Forcier got around to visiting the other four schools, reported to be Kansas State, Arizona, Washington and Montana.
By transferring to another FBS (Division I-A), Forcier will have to sit out the 2011 season, as per NCAA rules. He will have two years of eligibility beginning in 2012.
Forcier left the Michigan football program after being ruled ineligible for the Gator Bowl and was sent home before the game. He did not enroll in classes for the winter semester and soon announced his departure via Twitter.
The San Diego native ends his Michigan career with 2,647 yards passing, 17 touchdown passes and 14 interceptions. He also rushed for 291 yards and four touchdowns. Forcier started 12 games as a freshman, but lost his job to Denard Robinson as a sophomore, appearing in only eight games.
Against Bowling Green last season, Forcier set a school record for highest completion percentage with a minimum 10 passes thrown, going 12-for-12 for 110 yards and one touchdown.
ESPN's Joe Schad is apparently the unofficial media spokesperson for Tate Forcier as he decides which school he'll be transferring to.
After announcing his departure from Michigan via Twitter, Forcier told Schad he was looking at nine football programs for a potential new destination. Now, it appears that the former Michigan quarterback has narrowed his list to five schools.
Kansas State, Washington, Arizona, Miami and Montana are the programs Forcier is considering. All but Montana are FBS (Division I-A) schools, which would require him to sit out a year upon transferring. Yet Montana has been a rumored destination since Forcier was ruled ineligible for the Gator Bowl.
According to Schad, Forcier will begin visiting his transfer choices on Monday and hopes to get all his visits done this coming week. Kansas State or Miami is believed to be the first school Forcier will check out on his cross-country tour. Schad will surely keep us updated on what Forcier's next move will be.
Quarterback Tate Forcier announced on Twitter earlier this month that he left the University of Michigan and will be transferring to a new school. Immediately speculation began about where he might end up when all is said and done, and Forcier shared a list of schools he's considering earlier this week.
According to Forcier, the list of FBS (a.k.a. I-A) schools he's considering includes Miami (FL), Washington, Baylor, San Diego State, Middle Tennessee State and New Mexico. His list of FCS (a.k.a. I-AA) schools includes Florida A&M, South Carolina State and Montana.
Even before it came out that Forcier was ineligible for the Gator Bowl and that he would be transferring, rumors were swirling about him ending up at Montana. When the rumor first came out it seemed a bit ridiculous since there were no signs of trouble at Michigan for Forcier, but now they make quite a bit of sense. Forcier's mom and dad visited Montana's campus in December, and although one athletic department official from the school thinks Forcier will end up at an FBS team, the Grizzlies are at the very least in consideration right now.
If Forcier decides to transfer to an FBS school, he will have to sit out the 2011 season. In 2012, he would be eligible to play and have two years left. If he opted to transfer to an FCS school, he would also have two years of eligibility remaining, but he wouldn't have to wait until 2012 to start playing. He would be immediately eligible since players going from FBS to FCS don't have to sit out a year.
Quarterback Tate Forcier has left the University of Michigan, according to a series of postings on his family's Twitter page late Wednesday night. Forcier was rumored to be on his way out of the program after being declared ineligible for the Gator Bowl and being sent home during the trip. Forcier's father made it clear that his son wanted to stay at Michigan, but some things needed to be taken care of for that to happen. Evidently things didn't work out, as Forcier's time at Michigan is apparently over.
Below are the tweets about this news (presented in the form of a press release) that were posted by Tate Forcier over a 30 minute time frame beginning shortly before midnight.
-Immediate Press/Sports Release: January 20, 2011- Robert "Tate" Forcier University Of Michigan Sophomore Quarterback
Why do we all wait until we are at our lowest point to seek God's help? I've been kicked, pushed, knocked down, publicly berated, belittled, emasculated and more. There are plenty of legitimate reasons to give up or feel the victim. The humility of it all is indescribable and that is exactly my point. I had to reach rock bottom in order to see the light, and for that, I am thankful. It was not until then, I realized that it was my lack of accountability and maturity and not to pass blame.
I do hope all my young fans forgive me and benefit from my lessons that I have learned. Be grateful for what you have and be humble for your successes. Don't wait to ask God into your life as he will help you see things clearer.
In summary, I believe, I will become a better student and a person of stronger character from these experiences at Michigan. I can proudly state,"I worked hard on the practice field, in the film room and at meetings" after all, football is my passion. I had fun celebrating with the fans. I even competed hard while injured as a true freshman through the last (8) games in 2009, but I always played the game giving it my all. I am proud to have been part of Michigan Football history and will always cherish the memory.
The last few weeks I worked extremely hard to catch back up. I really wanted to stay. I was not giving up on Michigan, but in the end, it was made clear they had given up on me. With that being said, its time for me to go. I promise the Michigan family and fans I will make you proud again.
Tate Forcier #5 - A Michigan Man Forever - Go Blue
As the Michigan Daily's Nicole Auerbach said on Twitter, "the only way Tate Forcier could leave Michigan was with the world's first live-tweeted press release." It really was a fitting ending to a drama-filled two years.
While all of this drama and how he went about breaking the news may seem odd, it's not if you're familiar with the Forcier family. After all, when Chris Forcier, one of Tate's older brothers, transferred from UCLA to Furman, his family sent out a press release that included a "statement of facts," which basically served the purpose of talking up his accolades both on and off the field.
Chris Forcier's press release was bizarre, to say the least, but it was typical of the Forcier family, who have a website dedicated to Chris, Tate and Jason. Jason is the oldest of the three brothers and he also transferred during his career, leaving Michigan for Stanford. While his exit didn't include the drama of a press release and the circumstances were a bit different, the fact remains that all three of the Forciers will have transferred at one point during their careers once Tate finds a new school to attend. (Jason Forcier actually transferred back to Michigan to attend graduate school for Tate's freshman year, but he was not granted immediate eligibility and therefore was unable to rejoin the football team.)
Based on Tate Forcier's time at Michigan, it's no surprise that it came to an end with a dramatic press release where he contradicts himself. In the release he admits he wasn't accountable for his actions and only recently came to the realization that he shouldn't pass blame on others, but later he says that Michigan gave up on him. He claims that he didn't give up on Michigan and wanted to stay, but then he proceeds to make Michigan responsible for his departure. So much for not passing the blame.
This seemingly contradictory statement isn't anything new for Forcier. In the week leading up to the Gator Bowl he was interviewed by The Detroit Free Press and was asked about academics. His response was this:
"I've never been the greatest student. My brothers were always the geniuses. I was always the kid who was street smart but not that smart classroom-wise. You really have to try to flunk out here. All you have to do is go to class, it's not that hard. I've always been an average student. I don't ever see myself being that smart of a student. I just feel like it's too much of a job being an athlete. It's too much of a job. You get some of these kids in engineering who are players on our team who have 4.0s, and I just look at them like, 'You must never sleep.' I feel like the work I have is a lot. I can only imagine what they have."
While Forcier admitted he was not a great student, he also made the comment that you have to really try to flunk out at Michigan, as simply going to class is enough to get by. Obviously this statement looked pretty foolish when only days later it came out that he was ineligible for the Gator Bowl because of academics. At that point it seemed like Forcier's time at Michigan was coming to an end, especially when it came out that he was not enrolled in classes for the winter term. Despite this, his dad made it sound as though his son only had to take care of some incompletes to clear up his academic status and eventually rejoin the school and perhaps even the football team.
"He has incompletes that need to be taken care of," Mike Forcier, who is in Ann Arbor, said Friday. "He's turned in everything and there is one more thing that needs to be improved -- a paper. It wasn't quite up to standards. When it's turned it, who knows?
"I know he would like to stay (at Michigan). At the same time, you have to know if you're wanted. You have to gauge if the new staff wants you, too. You don't want to force a square peg down a round hole. If we sense they don't want Tate, we have to make a decision."
The elder Forcier gave Tate an out with that last sentence, as it can now be spun that he left Michigan because the new coaching staff didn't want him rather than because of academic reasons. Obviously we don't know what happened for sure, but it's not too tough to connect the dots considering he was ineligible for the Gator Bowl. While I respect the fact that he apparently tried to work his way back after that issue popped up, I find it laughable that he seemingly tried to play the victim card in his press release by saying that Michigan didn't want him. As a fellow University of Michigan student I can respect the challenge of balancing time between academics and something that is time consuming (football for him; blogging for me), but at the end of the day he has only himself to blame for not putting in the amount of work required to stay at Michigan.
Let's not forget that Forcier was called out publicly by teammate Troy Woolfolk for his lack of work ethic last summer. Granted this was football related and didn't necessarily have to do with academics, but Forcier even had his wings taken off his helmet because Rich Rodriguez said he had to earn them. The wings were eventually returned, but while Forcier was apparently not putting in enough work, Denard Robinson was busy earning the starting job. After Robinson led Michigan to an impressive victory in the season opener against UConn, Forcier proclaimed, "All you need to know is I'm out."
Transfer rumors were nothing new for Forcier considering they popped up in August, but suddenly it looked like he was gone with Robinson entrenched as the starter. To Forcier's credit, his attitude changed following this episode and he decided to stay at Michigan, which was a good decision considering he saw quite a bit of playing time with Robinson banged up throughout the rest of the season. Forcier was committed to staying at Michigan beyond 2010, but as you already know he was ruled ineligible for the Gator Bowl, which was the beginning of the end for him. Now, regardless of what happened, his time in Ann Arbor is over.
As a Michigan fan I thank Forcier for what he did on the field the last two seasons at Michigan and I do wish him the best in the future. That said, acting like a drama queen about this situation by putting out a press release on Twitter was beyond unnecessary. All he needed to say was that he made some mistakes, loved his time at Michigan and that things unfortunately didn't work out, which is why he is leaving. Drawing it out over a half hour and being extra dramatic with sentences about how he hadn't given up on Michigan but they gave up on him was a very "look at me" type of move. Then again, I suppose that's what we should come expect from the Forciers by now.
While I applaud Tate Forcier for changing his attitude mid-season and contributing many great things to the Michigan football program the last two years, sometimes things just don't work out. Again, I wish him the best of luck in the future, but this whole situation, like many others during his time in Ann Arbor, could have been handled in a much better way. I suppose it doesn't matter now anyway, though.
Michigan athletic director Dave Brandon dropped the bombshell that quarterback Tate Forcier was no longer with the team on Wednesday during Brady Hoke's introductory press conference. Today, Forcier's father spoke out about his son's status with the school:
"I can tell you this — he didn't fail his classes," Mike Forcier said in the report. "I'm really not sure what's going on. I just flew into Ann Arbor to figure everything out and see how we can get this whole thing resolved."
Forcier is not currently enrolled at classes at Michigan. He was removed from the team before the Gator Bowl because of what the school deemed an "academic issue."
Mike Forcier insisted his son wants to remain in Ann Arbor despite the struggles with the school. It would make sense too, as his son is set to gain the most from the recent hire of Hoke, who may be able to put the younger Forcier's passing skills to use in his new offense.
"Tate wants to stay (at U-M)," Mike Forcier told TheWolverine. "I didn't come with a moving van. Our intent is to do whatever is necessary for him to rejoin the team and become a student-athlete again. We haven't talked to any other schools and we won't until we've exhausted every resource here. But Tate wants to stay and we want him to stay."
When Michigan quarterback Tate Forcier was ruled ineligible for the Gator Bowl, his future with the program became questionable. Those concerns will only increase with a report in the Michigan Daily that Forcier did not enroll in classes for the Winter 2011 semester.
During the press conference to introduce new coach Brady Hoke, athletic director Dave Brandon confirmed that Forcier was not currently with the program.
Forcier had dealt with rumors that he might transfer to another school all season long, after not playing in Michigan's season opener versus Connecticut. That followed a tumultous offseason in which he rankled coaches and teammates by not showing up for workouts and neglecting academics.
The add-drop deadline for students to enroll in classes at Michigan is January 25, which gives Forcier time to get back into school. Perhaps he was waiting to see how the coaching situation worked itself out before committing to return.
With Hoke now in place, and reports that he'll bring offensive coordinator Al Borges along with him from San Diego State, Forcier would seemingly have a new opportunity to win back the starting quarterback job. Figuring out how best to utilize Robinson's talents appears to be the priority, judging from remarks made at the Hoke press conference. But with Borges' (and presumably Hoke's) preference to run a pro-style ("West Coast offense") system, Forcier's more polished passing skills might give him an edge.
But if Forcier doesn't return and Robinson ends up transferring, Devin Gardner would become the obvious favorite to be the starting quarterback next season. That would be the fourth consecutive season in which Michigan broke in a first-time starter under center.
Following last Saturday's game between Michigan and Bowling Green, Tate Forcier was asked about the rumors that had him set to transfer weeks ago. This was Forcier's response:
"A lot of people were saying I'm not staying here, but I'm still here," Forcier said. "I love Michigan and I love everything about it. I'm not going to leave. Not a chance."
Forcier definitely changed his attitude for the better after the first week of the season and seems as focused as ever now. That's great news for Michigan, because if Denard Robinson were to go down, they have an experienced backup who is ready to step in if needed. Most teams would be thrilled to have one starting-caliber quarterback, but Michigan has two experienced, starting-caliber quarterbacks. Heck, one could argue they have three considering Devin Gardner has played a decent amount this season.
With Denard Robinson emerging as Michigan's clear starting quarterback and Devin Gardner handling the backup QB duties, there has been some speculation that Tate Forcier could be redshirted. After all, if Forcier were to not play at all this season and redshirt, he could separate himself from Robinson eligibility-wise, giving Michigan a combination of Forcier and Gardner the year after Robinson graduates.
While that plan doesn't sound bad at all on paper, it doesn't appear as though Rich Rodriguez is going to go down that road.
Asked Monday if he would consider red-shirting the sophomore who started all 12 games last season, Rodriguez said, "No, Tate is probably in the mix still to play. I've been pleased with his attitude, and he's still getting better, as is Devin."
I don't see the need to burn a redshirt just for the sake of getting Forcier some garbage minutes against a team like Bowling Green, especially with Gardner already playing and burning his redshirt. If a situation arose where Forcier was needed because of an injury, then you obviously play him, but I'd prefer to have him just redshirt and have three years of eligibility left next year.
Again, this is Rodriguez's call, which is why it's likely we're going to see Forcier at some point. Rodriguez has been impressed with Forcier's attitude lately, so it sounds like he will be rewarded with playing time.
"I think Tate learned a lesson in that first game. He's been terrific the last couple weeks. He's been a team guy; he knows what his role is going to be. He's going to keep competing for that spot. The way we run our system in practice, all those guys roll in and out anyway. So he'll be fine. I've been really proud the way he's approached everything the last couple weeks."
At the very least, Forcier playing would help quiet rumors that he will transfer. Then again, if he's going to be stuck behind Robinson for the final two years of his career, rumors of him transferring will likely never go away, which is again why a redshirt seems to make the most sense. Oh, well.
Michigan football coach Rich Rodriguez appeared Friday on The Dan Patrick Show to preview this weekend's clash with Notre Dame. Rodriguez was asked about many things, of course, but some of his most pertinent comments regarded quarterback Tate Forcier.
The Detroit News' Angelique Chengelis transcribed most of the interview. Here's some of what Rodriguez had to say about Forcier's status with the team:
"We hope he stays and competes. He had a great week of practice this week and we have Tate and (freshman quarterback) Devin Gardner that I think have elevated Denard's game because there's so much competition.
Rodriguez also said it didn't bother him that Forcier seemed disappointed about not playing after the win over Connecticut.
[…] that doesn't bother me if they're disappointed, as long as they remain a team player and work as hard as they're supposed to work. He's done that. He had so much success early, and sometimes that spoils you and now he's got to battle back. Tate will keep competing. As long as he does the right things, we'd love to have him.
You can read the rest of the transcript here. Rodriguez and Patrick also discussed Denard Robinson's development, the progress of the Michigan football program, and the current state of college football coaching, among several other topics.
Of course, you can also listen to the interview yourself, courtesy of The Dan Patrick show home page.
Stop the presses already? There was bound to be back-and-forth with the question of whether or not Tate Forcier will transfer from Michigan. But shortly after Mike Rothstein ran his column at AnnArbor.com, the AP's Larry Lage posted this on his Twitter feed:
Talked to Tate Forcier's dad, who said it is a "150-percent fact" that his son is staying at Michigan
That's about 180 degrees from "I'm out," wouldn't you say?
So chalk this up to the reckless emotion of youth? And maybe Forcier's father will calm him down and think this out rationally? Or was that Forcier's version of "Seacrest Out"?
Stay tuned. This could get interesting.
UPDATE: Lage filed a story for AP in which he wrote, "Michael Forcier says his son was simply frustrated."
Anyone who thought Tate Forcier was a virtual lock to transfer to another school after not playing in Michigan's 30-10 win over Connecticut on Saturday may have had those beliefs confirmed by the quarterback himself after the game.
When approached by AnnArbor.com's Mike Rothstein in the immediate aftermath, Forcier said the following:
"All you need to know is I'm out."
You could wonder what exactly Forcier means by that. Maybe the embattled sophomore simply meant he was done for the day and out of the stadium.
But really, what are the chances of that?
Forcier's career at Michigan seemed all but decided in the third quarter. Denard Robinson took a hard shot to his hop and had to come off the field. But rather than bring in someone with experience to keep the ship steady, the Michigan coaching staff opted to put in true freshman Devin Gardner.
And though he was only in for a couple of plays, that meant Gardner wouldn't be redshirting. Which means the coaches intend to play him. Which means they don't intend to play Forcier. If we know that, don't you think he does, too?
