And you guys make fun of us for calling Morgan Trent a good corner.

Just looking to argue about stuff tonight?

Trent has been abused on the field for 3 years running and people up in AA are saying he's better than Jenkins.

Boren was good enough to start at scUM as a true freshman, it isn't out of the relm of possibility for a guy like that to end up an AA or All B10 caliber player.

He started once. Against Northwestern. When you guys talk about him being a starter his freshman year you always neglect that part. Trent started five times as a redshirt freshman. Both were named all-Big Ten honorable mention in 2007. And Trent earned freshman AA HM honors, guess who did not?

Trent will not be an all-American this season, but I'd say he's just as likely to be as your guy.

What's gotten in to you?

Seriously?

That ringing sound... That's the reality phone. Answer it. It's for you.


Jenkins is the odds-on favorite for the Thorpe. Get a grip.

EDIT: or were you talking about Boren?

If so, whatever. What is certain is that Ohio State has at least one and probably several offensive linemen on the roster who will not start this year but will eventually be All-Americans. If Boren isn't one of them, so what.

Detroit News

Some U-M fans still despise Boren for transfer to Ohio St.

Dave Dye / The Detroit News

Justin Boren -- aka "The Traitor" in Ann Arbor -- continues to receive abusive e-mail from Michigan fans after transferring to Ohio State.
"Bad, bad stuff I can't repeat," Boren said of the messages.
Boren, who started every game last season for U-M, isn't eligible this year per NCAA transfer rules.
During a recent interview with media covering the Buckeyes, Boren said he stands behind all of his statements following the transfer. That includes the controversial comment that he feels the family values in the U-M program began to erode after Rich Rodriguez replaced Lloyd Carr as coach.
"I don't regret anything," Boren said. "That's the one thing I can say about this whole thing. I don't regret anything that ever happened. Honestly, I can say I would not do anything different."
As for becoming a Buckeye, Boren, an Ohio native, said, "I love it down here. I love all the guys. I love the program. I love all the coaches. I couldn't be more happy."

Boren will not be an All American this year. Now, next year, when he's eligible to play . . . .

Though, I have to agree with Hail. Justin is just about as likely to be an AA this year as Trent. :tongue2:

It wasn't entirely clear to me that he was talking about Boren. He referred to him only as "your guy". At first, I thought it was a reference to Jenkins, which would have made more sense in context; but HtM isn't nearly enough of a blind homer to think that Trent is a match for Jenkins. That's how I figured it was Boren he was talking about, but only after hitting "Submit". As for Boren: HtM makes a good point that Trent was more highly regarded, until you consider that the regard for Trent is largely undeserved when you look at how many of our highlight reels he stars in. Boren may not have been as over-rated as Trent, but who is?

Yeah, that's who I was talking about, not Jenkins. And I'll go on record saying All-American honors are out of the question. Best I'd give him is an outside shot at an honorable mention. Honestly, he's good but not a top-15 lineman in the country, and won't be by 2010 either, which is what third-team all-American would require.

You just sound like a jealous ex-boyfriend, who can't seem to accept the fact of separation in order to move on. Instead, you spend your energy and time on name smearing and finger pointing.

Pathetic.

Jax was right. Stop beating on the dead horse. :tibor:

:osu2:

osu.edu ROCKS!!!

Bolded is the big difference. Also, Morgan has had three years to prove his worth and has yet to do so. Face it, he blows. Boren may not have been AA caliber yet during his sophomore year, but I'd say he hardly blew at his position.
