WR Carnell Tate (Official Thread)

For all you Nutters out there, watched a Josh Pate vignette about tOSU WR room. He opined 'tOSU has Emeka and alot of names'.....wow, Josh, my opinion of you went down a hundred points at least. Let me set you straight. Yeah, there's the shining star, Emeka Ebuka. Oh, what? Jayden Ballard has lots of experience, time in, and wheels. He'd start at 98% of other schools. Carnell Tate, got some significant minutes last year as a true freshman, and practices every day against the best DBs in the land. Brandon Inness, maybe ranked a bit higher than Tate, enrolled late, but has been a fast learner. Only one catch last year you say? It was only a 58 yard TD with x yards after catch. Plus the four or five 4*s that have waited patiently behind. Finally, one name you might want to remember, Josh. Jeremiah Johnson, only the #1 receiver from HS, and the #1 player in America. If it wouldn't get me in trouble, I might opine that he's a Marvin Harris Jr clone. It appears he has the same attributes as MHjr, just lacks the college experience, which again, he's getting by going up against best DBIA. What say you bookmark your remarks until the late fall, and let's revisit them. Huh?
Couldn’t have said it better buddy! It goes to show that national guys only know a few teams very well. And unfortunately Pate doesn’t know much about OSU. I’d put OSU’s WR room up against any in the country.

I took that as we have 1 superstar and a bunch of guys who might be. It got us talking about it so he was successful. I was figuring every football person in the country knew we had the best room in the country. Maybe not

Someone needs to download that podcast so that we can play it back and promote it heavily in social media at the end of this season.

Some of my friends were moaning about Pate, but he is not in the facts business, he is in entertainment. He bought a bit of early credibility with some legitimate insights, but then he bought into TCUN last year so totally that he refused to consider whether they received any advantage from their sign stealing operation--even after many well-known coaches indicated what an advantage it was.

Why hang on like that? Because he wanted so badly to be seen as someone with great insights. Someone who saw a NC team before others. A visionary. Uh, no.

Recently, I saw a podcast preview from him. Pate apparently thinks that Ohio State hiring Chip Kelly was a hugely positive thing and that Ohio State could be a real power this year. Apparently, blind and deaf and still in that grave, Helen Keller also picked up on that. God rest her soul.

I didn't stop watching Pate because he wasn't slobbering on Ohio State. I stopped because he decided to take the same click-chasing path we have seen so often. It is hard to remember that Herbstreit once merited view time because you learned something from his comments.

Pate once lined up teams and talked about what they were doing in his podcasts. Now, he is just chasing clicks with his podcasts and I choose to ignore him.
