What is worst, having Brett Favre going to play for the Minnesota Vikings, Johnny Damon going to the New York Yankees, or Justin Boren paying his own way to play for the Ohio State Buckeyes. Seeing how Ohio State has already locked a bid to play in the 2010 Rose Bowl on January 1st, Ohio State is only looking to beat the Wolverines. Michigan is looking to snap their five year losing streak against their arch rivals the Ohio State Buckeyes and payback against their former teammate Justin Boren. The offensive lineman, Boren, left the Michigan program claiming the football staff has lost their family values with the departure of Lloyd Carr. Not only did Boren leave the program but he is paying his own way because under NCAA rules, a player is unable to receive a scholarship if transferring within their own conference. Boren could have ended up transferring anywhere in the nation and he decided to choose Michigan’s biggest arch rivals.

            Everybody knows the rivalry. Everybody knows the history. Everybody knows Woody. Everybody knows Bo. Now everybody will know Boren. Boren is the only player in history to transfer from Michigan to Ohio State. Boren wants payback. Michigan wants payback.

 But here is another twist. If Michigan fails to defeat the Ohio State Buckeyes does Rich Rodriguez get fired? Rodriguez will fail to deliver the Wolverines to another bowl game. Michigan had a bowl appearance streak of over thirty years. Not only the bowl games but all the allegations about Michigan not logging their workouts and players leaving have taken a toll on the Michigan faithful.  Do you think all these allegations are a scheme to get Rodriguez fired because “he is not a Michigan man”?
