He's practically a Greek tragedy. An amazing ascent in act I, periods of rising and falling action, until finally as the man said, he hit rock bottom. And his story isn't over yet. While he definitely grew in maturity and experience as the stereotypical tragic character does, he had his own tragic flaws that invoke pity in the audience, as Aristotle pointed out was one of the greatest cathartic emotions for a tragic audience. It's just a shame we don't know exactly what those flaws are, and are forced to watch him go as the result of some unknown force, be it internal (Tate's personal struggles) or external (the rise of Denard, the possibility of no longer being wanted). I will miss Tate. No other player evoked more emotion from me over the past decade. I hope his story transitions into a comedy and a happy ending.

Huh, and here I thought his story had been a comedy for quite some time. :lol:

Well he's already killed his coach, next he should marry his mother and then pluck his eyes out. That would be a fitting Greek ending.

Tate Forcier's career at Michigan is basically a microcasm of the the Rich Rod era


* Started off with tons of hype

* Sucked in the big games

* Regressed throughout his career: Like the UM defense

* Undersized like most of the players under Rod

* Tried to place the blame on others, in this case Michigan for "giving up on him" kind of like Rich Rod lovers blamed Lloyd Carr for all their problems

* Too arrogant to change his ways.

* Drama queen, just like RR and his crying about WVU fans sending him nasty letters and trying to beg for his job with Josh Groban in the background


That being said I'll sure miss the Tater, by far my favorite Michigander of all time.

It didn't work so well for Brett Favre the past few years.

Um, there is the overlooked issue of the number of Million$ Farve got from the NFL with his little act, plus the jeans commercials and so forth due to his name/face recognition. While Farve may not have won lots of games, if you're keeping score on other count$ he won plenty! :biggrin: I don't see much in common between Farve and Tater.....
