Which is better form? My right arm for downfield passing, or my left arm for bussing tables?

DFP: The aftermath of Boren's transfer from UM

Analysis: The aftermath of Justin Boren's transfer from U-M
By SCOTT BELL
FREE PRESS SPORTS WRITER
March 31, 2008
Justin Boren?s departure leaves more than just a gaping hole in suspect offensive line for the Michigan football team. Boren's decision to transfer made headlines. The junior-to-be released a statement citing a loss of ?family values" as his reason for transferring, which, in the eyes of some, tarnished Rich Rodriguez's image.
Rodriguez?s image had already taken a hit with his bitter public battle over his departure from West Virginia.
That public perception damage could trickle into recruiting. The interpretation of the situation will be player-specific and vary greatly, though. Some will look at Boren's flight as a sign of a rough transition. Others will see it as an opportunity for playing time. One recruit who has personal ties to the situation is Zach Boren.
A fullback/linebacker recruit, Zach took a handful of unofficial visits to Michigan as a junior and seemed destined to join his brother in Ann Arbor. But that destiny likely changed when Justin left the team last week, his father Mike Boren told the Free Press on Thursday. "I'm not going to have two kids at two universities," he said.
If Justin Boren heads to Ohio State, his brother could follow, which would up the ante in the Michigan-Ohio State rivalry. But the Justin Boren transfer hurts most on the field this season.
Rodriguez has said two positions with the thinnest depth charts also have the least amount of experience. Those spots -- quarterback and offensive line -- are possibly the two places where experience is most crucial. "We don't have as much experience up there as you'd like," Rodriguez said. "It's a concern."
Even though Boren, 19, had been in Ann Arbor for just two seasons, he was the returning lineman with the most in-game experience. That title now belongs to Stephen Schilling, a fellow member of Boren?s 2006 recruiting class who redshirted his freshman year after battling injury and illness.

?The guys in our offense, we try to teach them multiple positions,? Rodriguez said last week. ?Most of our tackles can play guard and vice-versa; we normally have three or four guys play the center position. We try to keep the schemes so they can learn them.?

Jimmy Clausen gives his approval to teaching offensive linemen multiple positions when the quarterback is slow and not going to play wide receiver in the NFL. It worked out great for Notre Dame!

"Hey, coach, can you show me that dance step once again?"
"Sure, keep your toes pointed and rise up from a plie' into full en pointe position."
"Like this!"

It's spelled pli?. Not that I'd know such things.  |

"David Cone sure makes this face a lot."
Actually, David is great at multi-tasking. He's throwing the ball, and soilling his pants, all at the same time.
