'07 TN WR Golden Tate (Signed LOI to Notre Dame)

[GoldenToTheGrave]

If ND would have had any kind of legit defense during his final year, ND prob wins ten plus games and Golden would have won the Heisman, he was the best player in cfb that year.

Ndamukong Suh was the best player, but Golden was certainly up there.

Is anyone else thinking four way after dinner was over?

I was thinking it, but the part of Golden Tate was being performed by me.

I would have thought you'd play the part of the small blonde....

Tate was. He carried Clausen and made him look better than he was.

A niece in Seattle had a son in January that they named Tate. She & her hubster "got" it when I dubbed him "A Golden Tate."

The swan dive on the MSU band was awesome, but no selling Taylor Mays' shot on Golden's 2nd TD in 2009 is probably my favorite.

I'll respectfully disagree.
JC might not have panned out in the NFL, but dude was a hell of a college qb. Tate was a straight baller with mad skill, but JC could put the ball any damn where he wanted. They made each other look good.

So, Floyd and Rudolph didn't contribute?

 

[phork]

You can say what you want about Jimmah, but a good portion of those throws are on point lightning strikes. Even the bombs drop only where Tate can get them. The YAC is something special though.

Like the others, I respectfully disagree. Adamantly so, in fact. I love Tate and think he was a stone-faced killer at Notre Dame, but he wasn't one of the top 5 players in the country, nonetheless THE best player.

Hell, if Dez Bryant would have been able to play in '09, Tate probably wouldn't have sniffed the Belitnekof. Dez's 08' season was significantly better than Tate's '09 season. So I don't think that's a stretch.

Just off the top of my head, I can think of 5 players better in '09 than Tate:

- Tim Tebow
- Ndamukong Suh
- CJ Spiller
- Toby Gerhart
- Mark Ingram

Bruce Heggie too.

 

[Cackalacky]

Not quite sure I understand how Tate is considered a top CFB player from that class. I might have a poor recollection but ..... No... Not seeing it. Certainly not the best player that year.

 

[irishfan]

He finished 10th in Heisman voting on a 6-6 team. I think 9-3 and he would have been invited to NYC at least.

 

[tko]

How my dicTate?

 

[ACamp1900]

He had a nutty big play year, made the play to win a few games, made the play that kept us in others that our defense then lost... Yeah, he was that good, plus he played for ND, if the team was among the best that year... Hed have won the Heisman, not a single doubt in my mind.

Colt McCoy won multiple awards that year.

Golden 100% did NOT bang Wilson's wife ..... That's a fact!

And the SEXYYY chick in the video with the cannons, her name is Hope (didn't get the last name yet, sorry haha )

 

[dshans]

Sheet, Mon. You be scruffy. You be harsh. You don't abide. You don't know pizza shyte 'bout freedom of 'spression.

Let them freak flags fly as long as the wind do blow!

Karma may be a bitch at times.

She can also be a soul soother.

It's not a fact, if anything, all evidence points to him doing just that.

Hell... One of the chicks in that video is good friends with Wilson's wife.

The wife and Tate denying it are the only evidence against it. Wilson himself hasn't even denied it.

It is a fact, he did not do it ... Whether you choose to believe gossip or not is one thing , but reading into all that "evidence", just doesn't make sense .

Enlighten us on the evidence...

He won the Biletnikoff, so that's kind of a big deal.
