Boren not invited to NFL Combine!
http://www.elevenwarriors.com/forum/football/2011/01/eight-buckeyes-inv…
I agree with the 11W guys; that's just plain weird, for a long-time Big Ten starter, with no serious injuries, and a history of floating around on every All-Big-Ten list for the last two years. To not even be invited...
Maybe there's some question about his family values.
January 21st, 2011 at 11:56 AM ^
his face looks like a bunch of douches.
January 21st, 2011 at 11:57 AM ^
That has to be why. I'd +1 you if I could.
January 21st, 2011 at 12:07 PM ^
I did it for you. Got your back. That +1 was well deserved!
January 21st, 2011 at 1:02 PM ^
....karmas a bitch.
January 21st, 2011 at 1:59 PM ^
To me, this guy will always be the rich kid from Pee Wee's big adventure that wants Pee Wee's bike.
January 21st, 2011 at 4:09 PM ^
And that man would be Francis.
January 21st, 2011 at 5:18 PM ^
so he can Deuche while he plays..
January 21st, 2011 at 11:57 AM ^
The NFL probably just predicted snow for that weekend and assumed he'd be busy.
January 21st, 2011 at 12:19 PM ^
Yea, hopefully he can find a team with the family values to let him skip practice/lifting on the weekends.
January 22nd, 2011 at 12:11 AM ^
BOO NFL. BOO.
January 21st, 2011 at 11:57 AM ^
that he will attend all combine buffets.
January 21st, 2011 at 11:58 AM ^
Maybe he'd rather be driving his own combine.......errr... plow truck.
January 21st, 2011 at 12:09 PM ^
Call Mr. Plow, that's my name, that name again is Mr. Plow.
January 21st, 2011 at 12:22 PM ^
Senor Plow no es macho, es solamente un borracho...
January 21st, 2011 at 1:58 PM ^
Comparing Boren to Homer Simpson is so unfair to Homer Simpson.
January 21st, 2011 at 11:58 AM ^
They wanted to make sure the caterer had the service capacity before they went ahead with the invite?
January 21st, 2011 at 12:00 PM ^
They really didnt want to have to widen all the doors at the combine.
January 21st, 2011 at 12:01 PM ^
Every time I watched OSU this year I tried to key on Boren to see how he did. He's certainly servicable, but I was never blown away by him. He also doesn't seem to have developed much physically -- except to get fatter. Who knows, maybe he'll find his way onto an NFL roster. I'm just glad that chapter in Michigan football history is now closed.

lol, Justin Boren; from his cameo appearance on Invader Zim:
January 21st, 2011 at 12:51 PM ^
I bet he's regretting the transfer now that the former CEO of Domino's is at the helm. Imagine all that free pizza.
January 21st, 2011 at 12:52 PM ^
An underappreciated classic.
January 21st, 2011 at 2:06 PM ^
neg accordingly
January 21st, 2011 at 12:22 PM ^
is his waist measurement.
January 21st, 2011 at 12:40 PM ^
Haha...Look at this pudgy little fuck...This gave me an flashback to the early 90's of our middle school center named Brooks that had a lischp like Coach Lou Holtzssssssssssssssssh
January 21st, 2011 at 1:00 PM ^
It sounds like you might be sort of mean.
January 21st, 2011 at 1:09 PM ^
Ain't nothing wrong with mean. This is Division One football. You want nice, go play intramurals, brother.
January 21st, 2011 at 1:11 PM ^
I was just thinking of poor Brooks, who couldn't help his lisp anymore than you can help your penchant for cliche.
January 21st, 2011 at 1:16 PM ^
Of course people have more control over their literary stylings than they do over their physical shortcomings. I was, however, indulging in cliche in contrast with your rather effete response.
January 21st, 2011 at 1:49 PM ^
You're right. My comment was dickish and not funny. Sorry.
January 21st, 2011 at 1:53 PM ^
This is division 1 blogging. If you don't like him having a different point of view, go to the intramural blogs!
Actually, don't. I've been there and they're ruthless.
January 21st, 2011 at 2:36 PM ^
It looks like his eyes have swollen shut from all that pizza and doughnuts. Still, the NFL likes big fat OLs, I'm surpised he wasn't invited to the combine.
January 21st, 2011 at 12:02 PM ^
Running and Weight Lifting at the Combine? There's your answer.
January 21st, 2011 at 8:27 PM ^
No 40-yard Plow this year?
January 21st, 2011 at 12:03 PM ^
It's just as well; he won't sign with any team that won't draft his brother.
January 21st, 2011 at 12:07 PM ^
With...
January 21st, 2011 at 12:06 PM ^
Well, the family values of the combine have completely eroded.
January 21st, 2011 at 12:08 PM ^
I effing hate the guy, but he was more than a Big Ten starter. He was a 2nd team AP All-American I believe. Unless the combine all of a sudden became much more exclusive, this is fairly shocking.
Karma's a bitch, I guess.
January 21st, 2011 at 12:44 PM ^
It's not that exclusive and he is invited. Everyone is just looking for the wrong name. He is on the roster as Benedict Arnold. Must be a Michigan alum running the combine.
January 21st, 2011 at 12:08 PM ^
(At this time) inplying that an invite might come later.
on a side note: not worth starting another new thread over.
The eight:
- Brandon Saine
- Ross Homan
- Brian Rolle
- Dane Sanzenbacher
- Devon Torrence
- Chimdi Chekwa
- Cam Heyward
- Jermale Hines
Those not invited (at this time at least) include: Justin Boren, Bryant Browning and Dexter Larimore. Late additions can be added -- Browning, in particular, has played well in Shrine Game practices -- but Boren not getting an invite is surprising.
The fact that eight were at least invited vs maybe one or two Michigan Players invited is more commentary on why our past three seasons were down than anything written. It is the final stamp on the cupboard is bare theory.
January 21st, 2011 at 12:19 PM ^
of course if you thought RR failed to develop talent, you'd just think this was the final stamp on that.
January 21st, 2011 at 5:11 PM ^
It is the final stamp on the cupboard is bare theory.
Only if you believe that RR's staff was entirely helpless to prevent the legions of transfers.
January 21st, 2011 at 5:19 PM ^
wtf?
Mallett - transferred to Arkansas the moment that he knew that Scott Loeffler was leaving Michigan, and Mitch Mustain was leaving Arkansas. Transferred in spite of the urging of Lloyd Carr and Rich Rodriguez.
Boren - was yanked out of Michigan by his parents, within about a day of the miling of offer letters that didn't include Zach Boren.
Clemons - left Michigan to transfer to Colorado, thanking Michigan for the experience here. By his own account, Clemons wanted more playing time and the chance to play in a pro set offense.
Who's left in the "legion"? Johnny Sears? Kurt Wermers?
January 21st, 2011 at 12:09 PM ^
out on his girlfriend and family as I write. Guy is a douche's douche.
January 21st, 2011 at 12:09 PM ^
Now he'll have LOTS of time to help dad.
January 21st, 2011 at 12:09 PM ^
that he has a dicky-doo!
January 21st, 2011 at 12:14 PM ^
Who? Never heard of him.
January 21st, 2011 at 12:19 PM ^
... I will watch it 1000 times and pretend it was 1000 different instances of a great defensive play this year instead of 1.
