Say what you want about Llllllloyd Carr’s inability to beat the Buckeyes, he was a class guy. That might not be the case with Rich Rodriguez. The Columbus Dispatch is running a story that one of Michigan’s starting Offensive Lineman, Justin Boren, whose father played for Michigan in the 1980s, is leaving the team (and may even join up with the Buckeyes after sitting out a year). When asked why, Boren said:
”I regret leaving behind my (Michigan) friends and teammates, but I need to stand up for what I know is right.
“I wore the winged helmet with pride, whether we won or lost, whether things were going well or times were tough. Michigan football was a family, built on mutual respect and support for each other from Coach (Lloyd) Carr on down. We knew it took the entire family, a team effort, and we all worked together.
“I have great trouble accepting that those family values have eroded in just a few months. That same helmet, that I was raised on and proudly claimed for the last two years, now brings a completely different emotion to me, one that interferes with practicing and playing my best and mentally preparing for what is required. …
“I wish my teammates the best and will always be proud to have been a part of Michigan football over the past two years.”

Two turnovers at home and Penn State only scores 17 points? And then they say “We’re back!”?
It will take more than a video of a game from 2005 to beat OSU this year. Though, after we beat Penn State, you can still watch your video and imagine what might have been, if it makes you feel better.
