Wasn't Boren the one who was at Michigan and transferred to OSU or something?
August 1st, 2018 at 10:24 PM ^
In this case, it's little brother of Justin, Zach Boren . He somehow seems to think that spousal abuse is something that is nobody else's business, despite the fact that a bunch of staff and alleged friends were in the know.
August 1st, 2018 at 10:26 PM ^
Ahh. Thank you. Couldn't remember the first name.
August 1st, 2018 at 10:36 PM ^
This was the assclown that Rich Rod did not offer a scholarship to - obviously did not fit his system and is also obviously a few IQ points below total dolt! That is when justin bolted to the ohio, citing "family values", which was really you didn't offer my family member a scholarship. Their traitor of a father mike boren, former linebacker for us, was the instigator in this clusterfuck where he was quoted as saying he will not be forced to choose to see his kids play at different schools - hence the transfer.
FUCK YOU BORENS, ALL OF YOU!!!
August 1st, 2018 at 11:34 PM ^
Don't forget how Justin Boren showed up to Carr's charity carwash with his pick-ass pick-up truck and didn't give a penny
August 2nd, 2018 at 12:24 AM ^
Why would LC invite that traitorous sob???
I think that was when Justin was on the team.
August 1st, 2018 at 10:21 PM ^
Boren is shoveling more than snow this time around
August 1st, 2018 at 10:22 PM ^
Isn't he in the dumpster fire business?
August 1st, 2018 at 10:37 PM ^
Yes, they show their clASS so well....
August 1st, 2018 at 10:27 PM ^
I stopped reading the article when he brought up Trump's name.
August 1st, 2018 at 10:29 PM ^
Yeah, I saw that too. Save your political bias for your political columns.
August 1st, 2018 at 10:35 PM ^
It's not political bias. He just said that Boren is acting like trump by bashing the 'media' simply because he doesn't like what they're saying.
That's not showing bias, that's objectively something Trump does.
August 1st, 2018 at 10:48 PM ^
Whether it’s objective or not that Trump calls out the media - it’s also objective that Trump has absolutely nothing to do with this story, and referencing his similar “tactics” in any context is asinine. Being truly “objective” would’ve just been sticking to the story and reporting the facts therein.

While it wasn't completely necessary to draw that parallel, I don't think it's really correct to say that Trump has "nothing" to do with calling the media the problem when they point out negative things that happen.
Also I wouldn't exactly say that this piece by Wetzel really falls under the category of "news," it very much reads like an opinion piece.
Anyway, curling up into a ball and calling 'bias' simply because he mentions a political figure's behavioral patterns seems pretty childish.
August 1st, 2018 at 11:25 PM ^
So.... you bring up objectivity, then call it an opinion piece. Mmmkay.
We get it, you love Trump.

August 2nd, 2018 at 11:21 AM ^
So.. you mad?
I'm just saying that what Wetzel said was an objective fact. There's no point in getting your panties in a bunch over it.
Objectivity and opinion pieces are not mutually exclusive. In fact, expressing your opinion can always be done using objectivity.
August 2nd, 2018 at 11:34 AM ^
Absolutely, did not mean to infer that. My point is that, to me, he was coming off as saying that the writer was just reporting objective facts, as is done in a non-editorial. Then he waffled, saying, well, it's really more of an opinion piece anyway. Saying there isn't a political bias behind injecting Trump into the article in this way, in my opinion, is naive.
But at the end of the day who gives a shit, really. it annoys the hell out of me when I'm reading a sports article and the writer magicians Trump's name into it somehow. Like I don't already have to hear the guy's name enough in my every work-a-day life.
August 1st, 2018 at 11:46 PM ^
I suppose the difference is if you believe Trump calls out the media because they deserve it or not. In this instance calling out the media has no political bias other than this writers opinion.
August 2nd, 2018 at 11:35 AM ^
This. Well said.
August 1st, 2018 at 11:35 PM ^
How can there not be subjectivity there? Also you trust the media too much. Also also it is flat out unnecessary to mention Trump in a sports piece without detracting from said piece. Dumb decision in my opinion.
How can there not be subjectivity there?
Simple - it's an objective fact that Donald Trump blames the media for reporting negative stories about him, whether they are true or not. Do you disagree with this? Or do you disagree that Boren is effectively doing the same thing?
Also you trust the media too much.
Interesting assertion, since I never made any indications one way or the other about trusting media sources. I just said that an easily verifiable statement was an objective fact.
August 1st, 2018 at 10:37 PM ^
Wetzel would be remiss to NOT mention Trump, since Trump has taught animals like Boren to simply blame the media when confronted with bad news.
August 1st, 2018 at 10:43 PM ^
Yes, dickhead - it is Trump to blame for every asshole out there. WTF...
August 2nd, 2018 at 10:08 AM ^
Relax, Mikey. The swamp is still out there.
August 1st, 2018 at 11:39 PM ^
Logged in to upvote this. Anybody who equivocates what Trump is doing with media blaming with any other President or even prominent politician of our era, is a phony and intellectually dishonest.
The worse thing we could all do is defend it or look the other way.
Wetzel's comparison is spot on here.
Important even in a sports discussion we honor the truth and he draws a larger reason why it's vital.
August 2nd, 2018 at 12:02 AM ^
It's fine to fight back against lying bullies that slander you. Stand up for what's right.
You're an idiot. And keep politics off mgoblog.
Wetzel didn't write the article you linked. Jason Owens did. I think I understand your affection for fake news.
August 1st, 2018 at 10:33 PM ^
I kept reading.
August 1st, 2018 at 10:36 PM ^
Was it worth it?
August 1st, 2018 at 10:35 PM ^
To be clear it was the author of the article who is tying them together. He never mentioned that name. Let's not go overboard lest we appear lopsided.

Warriner knew also
August 1st, 2018 at 10:36 PM ^
Yes, we know that. There's a whole thread on it. But he was in no position to fire or punish Smith. It seems highly unlikely he knew something others didn't and didn't speak about it. So what are you saying should happen?
August 1st, 2018 at 10:47 PM ^
Perhaps that's why he left the program?
August 1st, 2018 at 11:08 PM ^
I didn't see the thread on Ed Warriner knowing about it. He definitely did know?
If Warinner knew, and did not report it, there could be trouble for him.
August 1st, 2018 at 11:39 PM ^
If I have the timelines correct, this was reported to the police but charges weren't pressed. So this is more of a why wasn't this dude fired story, rather than a no-one called the police story.
August 2nd, 2018 at 11:37 PM ^
What trouble? There is nothing criminal and he doesn't currently work for OSU. He didn't have the power to fire Smith and if he knew then certainly Urban knew so it was Urban's responsibility.
August 1st, 2018 at 10:45 PM ^
The Borens are spoiled brats who are barely worth the shit they excrete. . . There is a reason why Bo called their dad "Boron"
August 1st, 2018 at 10:46 PM ^
But that’s not something solely attributable to Trump. I’ve heard politicians on both sides make similar remarks. Heck, I’ve even heard Obama scapegoat media at times.
No, you heard Obama calling out Fox "News" for objectively being lying, fear- mongering shitbags.
August 1st, 2018 at 10:50 PM ^
Boren losers. Low class
August 1st, 2018 at 10:51 PM ^
The desire to cover for a team based on fandom has been very prevelant over the past infinity years or so. It is so sad to see people who are willing to be a part of this troubling trend. It won't hurt you to see bad things and call them out.
August 1st, 2018 at 10:54 PM ^
Whole family is swine. Fuck every single one of them.
Commencing mental imagery of Deliverance. All of the Borens out in the woods squealing like pigs. Thanks.
