Matthew Zemek weighs in on Boren's departure.
Quote:
Zemek blog: Family Values In An Election Year
...
Justin Boren should not be taken to task for his remarks--they are merely the understandable outpourings of a very young soul who feels some degree of disenchantment and alienation. (Haven't we all felt those feelings at some point in our lives, especially when we were Boren's age?) Coming down hard on Boren is not and must not be the solution one should find in any argument that is sympathetic to Rodriguez in this case. The purpose of defending Rodriguez on this "family values" issue is to emphasize the importance of according fresh respect to people even when they are saddled with burdens and missteps from past years.
Rich Rodriguez still has a lot to answer to for the way he treated West Virginia. Does this mean he should be pre-judged at Michigan whenever any form of controversy comes along? No way.
