Looking back at the recruiting process in 2005 for Boren, on page 15 of this thread we discover that NevadaBuck is clairvoyant, even though his prophecy was not fulfilled for 3 years.

I will state on April 25th at 8:10 pm Pacific Time that Boren will be a Buckeye--

This is a very very savvy young man who is also looking at life after football---and is there ANY better business position to be in, living in Columbus, then ex-OSU football player???

He is well aware of this fact, and will make the right decision.

I hate giving them bulletin board material, but this is funny:

I don't really see this event as "bulletin board" material.

The fact that he transferred out of scUM to Ohio State and the reasons given for the transfer could be "bulletin board" material. However, the reality of the situation is that Justin is a great guy, and undoubtedly made some good friends during his two years there. If they are really friends (and they probably are); they are still friends, they understand the situation that caused him to transfer, and they aren't holding any grudges, etc.

But then, people around here don't talk about Lichter in quite the same terms as they have been talking about Barwis all year.

Yep that was my point, no one has been making Lichter = God comparisons, but as we know, even Ditka couldn't beat Barwis.

Nonetheless, the point is that RR is responsible for TSUNs record, not Barwis. And it is RR that caused Boren to leave with his disregard for respect for the student athlete, not Barwis. So I think we can leave Barwis out of this.

What's brewing today with
the Ohio State Buckeyes:
Buckeyes buzz
Ah, the paranoia of college athletics.
Woody Hayes was always spotting suspicious cars and people around his practices. The Ohio State coach thought they were part of a large conspiracy to spy on the Buckeyes and steal plays and defensive sets. The old military expert must have believed what he was doing was of national importance.
And it's not just old school, either. Let's face it: One reason coach Jim Tressel closes all practices to the media is so nothing leaks out.
Some schools ? Southern California, Tennessee, Florida, among others ? don't play such cloak-and-dagger games. Practices are open, and the players freely chat with anybody before, during and after workouts.
Now the current Buckeyes are presented with a perfect way to get some insight into Michigan's attack ? without having to send a person to Ann Arbor.
A spy has come in from the cold. Justin Boren, from suburban Pickerington, left Michigan in a huff earlier this year and has enrolled at Ohio State. A big offensive lineman, he'll be eligible to play next season.
There's two ways to look at any information Boren might provide. True, he might be able to provide Ohio State coaches with some insight into personnel. But, on the other hand, in his only year in maize and blue he played for Lloyd Carr, who resigned last year and was replaced by current coach Rich Rodriguez. So there's a disconnect there.
Tressel said Boren was uneasy about his situation.
"I'm sure that he would be very happy when this weekend is over because he's got a lot of dear friends (at Michigan) and he has a different scenario in his life," Tressel said.

Top 10 newcomers to remember

Monday, March 9, 2009

9. Justin Boren, Ohio State, OG: The son of a former Michigan player became famous in March 2008 for bolting the Wolverines' program for archrival OSU and getting in some digs at Wolverines coach Rich Rodriguez on the way out. Boren comes to a line that will be young but is loaded with promise. He'll start somewhere, and his experience at both center and guard are key. By the way, joining him at OSU will be his kid brother Zach, a linebacker.
