Justin Boren is a TRAITOR!!!!

Justin Boren is a traitor....flat out!!!....

For those who do not know what I am writing about, just a few months ago, Justin Boren started on the offensive line for Michigan when they played Ohio State...he would have been a junior this coming season and the anchor on the line....but things changed...Boren has now decided to leave Ann Arbor and play for Ohio State....

Boren stated that Michigan did not have the "family atmosphere" under new head coach Rich Rodriguez....

There are many facets to this story....first off, I have no problem if Boren, wanted to transfer out of Michigan....when a new coach comes in, often times personalities do not mesh well....quarterback Ryan Mallet transferred to Arkansas in early January because of a difference in offensive philosophy.....I wish Mallet nothing but success at Arkansas and thank him for wanting to play for Michigan.....however, Boren has taken a difference course....he could have transferred to any freakin college in this country....any school!!!!...but no, he choice Ohio State...

To me, Boren was never truly a Michigan Man....no way would any player from Michigan transfer to Ohio State and vice versa...only a true Michigan and Ohio State fan would understand this...I know that Boren is originally from just outside of Columbus, but that should not matter...if he wanted to play closer to his family, he could have transferred to Cincinnati, Purdue, Indiana, Pitt....but no, he chose freakin Ohio State...

Just two months ago this kid was singing The Victors and wearing Maize and Blue....how in the world could he switch to Ohio State and now be singing Carmen, Ohio????...this would be like a North Carolina basketball player transferring to Duke....or an Alabama football player transferring to Auburn.....

This happens often in professional sports when a player and/or coach leaves a team to play or coach for a rival....such the case with Johnny Damon leaving Boston to play for the Yankees....but there is one big difference - MONEY!!!!....in professional sports, money dictates where players or coaches are going to play or coach.....there was no money involved in this situation with Boren....

My personal opinion is that Boren did not want to put in all the work and running that Rodriguez now mandates for the Michigan football program....Rodriguez demands that his players run to the line and from station to station in practice....during winter conditioning players like Morgan Trent and Greg Matthews said they have never run as much as they did during that period.....

So when the score was 14-3 in favor of Ohio State last November, what was Justin Boren thinking?????.....for him to easily turn his back on his Michigan teammates, coaches, and fans and transfer to Ohio State means that he gave up in that game...he did not have the true heart and desire...plain and simple - he quit...the proof of that is when he quit again on his team and transferred to Michigan’s biggest rival...I wish Boren nothing but the worst of luck and hope that Michigan stomps his ass when he comes to Ann Arbor in 2009 wearing the gray helmet...

Tomorrow my thoughts about Lloyd Carr's suppposed behind-the-scenes assistance with this matter
