Wow. Is there a sports book line on where he ends up? I have to guess he’s looking at UNLV, no? I thought I saw that his HS coach took that job. Frankly, I could be talking out my ass because I really don’t follow NLV or give a shit about Tate.

He did.
Bug Tater opted out for the season. Not sure if to transfer or to call it a career

A lot of people give him hell but I feel for the kid... had the rug pulled out under him here and made a poor choice in Miami.

I think he wouldve done well here last year if he was the QB. Not Justin Fields level good but maybe JT Barret level.

I don't know Buckl. You can feel for the kid, I think we all hate to see any OSU kids transfer out, but talent aside, the reason JT was so successful was bc of his leadership qualities, his tough-nosed play, and ability to lead and win despite some of his throwing short-comings. I have seen enough "take my ball and go home" when things get dicey from Tate to think that it may have woked out best for OSU that he left. The team believed in JT. I don't know if Tate was ever going to gain the full trust of his teammates. You typically lose a lot of the close games and the road games in tough environments with that as the situation at your QB position.

I don’t begrudge the kid either, but some of what we’ve seen post Rose Bowl make me agree that it’s best that he took his talents to South Beach.

Wonder if Micah Parsons will come back. Have to think he will. To me Parsons was an example of the difference between Florida Urban & Ohio State Urban. Florida Urban finds a way to smooth over that official visit fiasco and get him on the football tam. Not saying one is better than the other.

Oh i agree with you both... it was best he left but my only point was I think he would've been pretty good this past season. We would've probably ran him more than Justin but I do think Tate maybe gets 75-85% of the production Justin did. Still enough to probably run the table but definitely not enough to show well against Clemson.
