Boren brothers happy to talk trash in new career
By Tom Knox / For Columbus CEO
Posted Oct 6, 2018 at 3:28 PMUpdated Oct 6, 2018 at 3:28 PM

Zach and Justin Boren were central Ohio football royalty, highly ranked recruits from Pickerington who starred for Ohio State University and had careers in the National Football League. Now, they’re using their name and ties to the Buckeyes to buoy Boren Brothers, a fast-growing waste-management business. Here’s how it began, and how they’ve leveraged and balanced their ties to Columbus’ most prized pastime.

Q: How did you become an expert in waste management?

Zach Boren: It started from surrounding myself with people who knew the industry. I constantly networked, was kind of an open book — I took in a bunch of information. And honestly I started with the Yellow Pages, companies who can utilize our services. ...

But also, just the network we were able to build at Ohio State. There were so many people we came across being Buckeyes and when we played football that, you keep in touch with those people. It’s crazy how big the network is at Ohio State and especially football supporters and football boosters. When you’re done playing, you’re able to reach out to those people and really talk to them about the business world and see how they can utilize your services.

Q: How have your connections to Ohio State benefited the growth of the business? Even when you were cold-calling at the beginning, did people say, “I know that name”?

Justin Boren: I think it’s huge, and it’s not just us. One thing about Ohio State football — there’s so much tradition. Ohio State and Columbus, they take care of their own. If you play sports, especially football, and you do the right things, and you don’t get into trouble, and you don’t do something stupid, there’s going to be endless opportunity. Whether it’s your own business, or opportunities for employment, I think that’s one of the great things........

Re: Zach Boren: We have buddies that we played with that are in real estate, that are in financial management. There are so many guys out there and doing great because of their name, because of what they did at Ohio State. Being an Ohio State football player — and especially coming back to Columbus — it’s huge.

If they don't, Ohio State should definitely promote this in their recruiting process, especially to the recruit's parents. In addition to the basic athletics and academics presentations, have some of the guys come back (or make some videos) showing the advantages/opportunities that former Ohio State football players have had and/or are having in careers after football, etc.

You have to love the picture on their dumpsters:

BP'ers get all nerdy about weather (split from Poll thread)

It is a major disadvantage for a person who's body is acclimated for the north to try to have to all of a sudden play at a high level in the heat and humidity that your opponent is used to.

That is so obvious and easily understood that I know you are willfully trying to obfuscate the entire argument.

As you said, it has been concisely stated; why should southern schools enjoy a permanent home field advantage?

Other than being a fan of a southern school, and by extension then a fan of all southern schools, I think you don't really have a good reason.

I'm going more for the angle of how you build a team. You aren't going to build a 90s Fun and Gun team in the B1G. You'll win a bunch of games early and then put up a stinker when you have to play in the rain on halloween at night at Penn St. So now you've built your team to be able to win in the B1G......and you have to face a team from the south in the south for a title.

Tired that and feeds still not loading.This is only an issue in Chrome. Firefox and Edge work fine. Turned UBlock off completely and still have the problem. It's happening on all my machines and on mobile. Just started recently. Never had an issue before. It's got me stumped. I can hit the Twitter link and it loads, just doesn't show as a post.

Among Furyk’s gaffes this week was playing Tiger in every round, as well as, playing Phil in alternate shot on Friday. He’s damn lucky that he got great play from Spieth, Thomas and Finau otherwise the plunger would’ve been inserted on Saturday...
