tOfficial LOL Boren Thread
OG who was described as a "Major" loss for Michigan, who faced increasing doubts of laziness and unnecessary weight gain, had a lackluster Buckeye career and went undrafted. While Schilling stuck around and undoubtedly learned everyone divorces and that family is just a genetic misfortune, Justin escaped into the virtuous arms of Columbus, where he undoubtedly learned about virtue, love and loyalty. And honesty.
Congrats on your future in plowing - you made an ass of yourself on the way out but, hey, put an Eff Herbstreit bumpersticker on the plow and business will increase 300%.
Mallet bugs me a lot but he was actually positive about RR and just said he did it for himself. Now Boren looks like he left based upon the effort the different scheme would have required. The NFL took note no doubt
I think it was a combination of unwillingness to meet Barwis' standards and his brother wasn't offered by RR.
Justin better get the plow business goin. He'll have two brothers joining the business soon.
Aren't self focused pricks who burn bridges for headlines and tLULz, all the while regressing while former management converts a perhaps less athletically gifted player into draft material.
Is Schilling the guy you're referring to as less athletically gifted? Remember - Schilling was the 5 star, while Boren was a 4 star. A high 4 star I believe, but Schilling was the higher rated prospect.
EDIT: Rivals had Schilling as the #26 overall player nationally, while Boren was #64.
DOUBLE EDIT: That made Schilling the second highest rated recruit in that class, behind BG. Carlos Brown was #3 and Mouton was #4. For those who doubt the recruiting rankings, that's pretty dead on.
Sorry for hitting Moderate. Actually meant to mark Insightful.
Just sayin'.
Sorry to disagree, but most of the starters for that school haven't been "great". Given the level of talent they recruit, the o-lines of the last few years have fallen far shor tof expectations.
After sitting out a year Boren was a two year starter.
Boren neither great, nor drafted.
. . .
He's part of the rebel alliance and a traitor. Take him away.
What's your thinking here?

He's acting like Boren is some heinous monster for leaving us, trashing Rich Rod, going to OSU, whatever, plus he's acting like we're vindicated because Boren wasn't drafted, even though his team has kicked our ass while he was there. Gloating over Boren would be immature if it wasn't so asinine. I just wanted to use that line.
I'd like to think they are the Galactic Empire and we're the Rebel Alliance, especially in light of all the evil doings taking place right now in Courasant, err Columbus.
SI has Martell Web rated higher than Boren. FU boren. so glad he did not get drafted. SI says "Boren looked like a top center prospect as a sophomore with Michigan then showed signs of potential at guard after transferring to Ohio State. He comes off a very disappointing senior campaign and is likely to fall out of the draft."
At least he already has a job lined up in the mean time plowing snow and mowing lawns for the old man.
Couldn't have happened to a nicer person. And by "nicer" I mean "Douchebaggier."
This 'Insightful' comment is definitely too insightful for Home or Work.
to overcome the doubts his actions caused. Why bother when you can pick somebody else
You question THIS GUY's work ethic?

Justin Boren had a brief cameo on Invader Zim
Karma is a bitch, isn't it, Boren? Fuck that lazy, whiny fatass.
April 30th, 2011 at 10:06 PM ^
I'm sure your diginified post and immature name calling have you in for a truck load of it.
Hypocrite.
April 30th, 2011 at 11:44 PM ^
I don't know who is busy negging your business but Karma is a bitch. I don't see the redundancy in that at all. The kid complained bitterly while throwing both RichRod and the program under the bus. Family values gets you not drafted, asshat. Suck on that Mike Boren.
Dear Boren,
I will see you at the tollbooth. You know which one.
has been hired as a PR man for Krispy Kream donuts.
Boren thought the saying was "Those who EAT will be champions"
Lies the fact that we really could have used this guy back in 2008 and 2009.
Leaving your team at its low-point, when it needs you most, and for its archrival...while throwing haymakers at the new coach as you close the door...wow.
I'm not trying to be the best at exercising.
Who is this Boren person and what concern is he to the world?
What I don't understand is when he was here he seemed to have some promise as a good player, and got playing time as a freshman(not sure if he redshirted, I assume he did because OL). He also seemed to get praise from practice at OSU while he was forced to sit out due to transfering. So does he have the abilities to be good in college but not in the NFL, did his character lower his draft status, or does OSU just do a terrible job coaching their OL?
I recall a few really good Oline classes for OSU and there seems to be very little NFL calliber talent from those groups 5 years later.

NFL offensive lines are generally taller than in the NCAA and have to demonstrate much more versatile skillsets.
Boren was a solid, if unspectacular guard for OSU.
He's shorter than average for an NFL offensive lineman.
He apparently has some trouble in pass protection against athletic defensive linemen.
And, here's my favorite part:
"Plays angry on the field but his mental makeup is in question after a transfer from Michigan."
http://www.nfl.com/combine/profiles/justin-boren?id=2495428
That is indeed good reason for questioning someone's mental makeup.
He played as a true Freshman. Then he started all 13 games in 2007. His red shirt year was after he transferred.
Maybe Mr. Plow will make an NFL team as a free agent. As others have noted, starting on the OSU O-line (excepting, perhaps, that Florida game) for three years isn't too shabby.
What I like best about this result, though, is that we might finally be done hearing/reading "Justin Boren, who transferred from Michigan after Rich Rodriguez was hired as coach BLAH BLAH BLAH ..."
as he goes on to become the greatest donut eater in history. Donut eaters around the world will hail him as king of the donut. None of us will ever be able to match sucks a feat.
Everyone knows that the NFL has no family values.
about players that play for Michigan
New cardio program at TSIO: run around the horseshoe ten times or run around Justin Boren once.
It's a shame a good Michigan Man's name like Boren (Mike) had to be tarnished by this turd son of his.
It's not like Mike Boren was such a good Michigan Man through all of this either. And now he's sending his last son to OSU even though Rodriguez (his supposed problem with his alma mater) is gone.
I imagine Mike Boren was as big a turd as his son in the ordeal.
We didn't offer one of his sons a scholarship, so he goes batshit crazy.
he'd have ex-communicated Mike Boren for spawning 3 Buckeye's. That, and letting his fat, worthless son leave here in the classless manner he did. I doubt Mike Boren would be welcomed with open arms at any player reunions.
