Thread title includes "traitor of the year". Both guys being compared have been candidates for this at various points in Ohio sports history.

Enigmaxx.......I agree, we need other opinions on here. We have the right ones (tOSU fans) and the wrong ones (UofM fans).

If someone bashed your mom, would they be bashing your mom or insulting your entire family? I think he actually even used the word "family" in talking about how there no longer was one there. Wouldn't that have included his teammates?

Ha ha, and that makes sense - I have neither of those opinions so I guess that is why my posts are just.....meaningless.

enigmaax actually is making a good case for his argument. Although I don't think you should compare the two, the fact remains that Boren trashed his school and left his teammates who were relying on him. Lebron fulfilled his contract and left.

In fact it was Gilbert who then bashed Lebron (contrary to Boren bashing R Rid).

1. "Prefer" does not mean 'required to'. There is a difference.

2. As I said before, Boren can be labeled as a traitor to the Michigan faithful. I get that. But he is not a traitor of OSU, which you claimed in your initial post. And Boren did transfer to his home school, as he went to high school in the Columbus area.

3. I have never called, nor inferred, that Lebron was a traitor to Ohio. He made a career move that is certainly reasonable. Quit implying that I consider him a traitor.

4. My only objective in my original post was to correct you in that Boren could not be considered a traitor of Ohio. Next thing I know you have spun it into "tainted Rose Bowl" victories and comments Boren made on his way out of Michigan. All things irrelevant to the correction.

Okay, just don't know why you'd waste so much time doing something you don't "prefer".

I'm not really gonna take the time to go back and read it, but I think what I said was Ohio was becoming synonomous with traitor state. Sorry if I wasn't clear, but here's the point - TWO TRAITORS, BOTH FROM OHIO. It wasn't his "home" school regardless of where he grew up. He chose an affiliation with Michigan, not Ohio State. If OSU was his home school originally, then he was a traitor on them to begin with. Either way, he dicked someone.

The thread title and topic is "traitor". I made a point, you responded. I'm trying to speak in general terms. If you don't want your opinion assoicated with the conversation path I'm taking, quit responding to my posts. But, okay, so your opinion is neither of them are traitors? Thats cool, that is all you had to say.

See number 2 above. If LeBron is a traitor as described in the thread title, then Boren has to be considered that as well. And he is from Ohio.

Dude, be careful.....that one girl poster (something lady, can't remember exactly) might start up with the gay jokes if we agree. I do have to admit that I don't hear many women use the word "gape" though.

I don't really agree with you, but you bring up an interesting point. And unlike some people on here, you have taken the time to explain yourself rather than just calling someone a name.
