Michigan Football: Carr not a traitor

from Detroit News

Carr not a traitor

Lloyd Carr retired. He didn't suddenly become senile.
Help a Michigan player transfer to Ohio State? Are you kidding?
A column in Thursday's Columbus Dispatch about Justin Boren, the former Michigan offensive lineman who has transferred to OSU, has Carr furious.

"Maybe they should take a cue from previous Michigan coach Lloyd Carr, who according to a source close to the situation worked behind the scenes to help Boren obtain his scholarship release from Michigan," Rob Oller wrote. "Carr even assured Boren that Ohio State is the closest thing to Michigan that he would find and that there are 'good people' in Columbus."

I can't remember the last time I heard Carr as livid as he was Friday night during a brief phone conversation.

He didn't mince words.

"It's a lie," Carr said, angrily. "That's a lie! That's it."

End of conversation. Well, pretty much. Trust me, there were a few other ways he said it was all a lie, and I don't think Carr was taking a cue from his Academy Award-winning buddy Russell Crowe. This was not acting. His response was real. Angrily real.

These comments below are ErocWolverine comments on this matter:

To me this whole deal was a way of trying to drag down Coach Rod and also make the Michigan fans split between him and Coach Carr. People need to have a little common sense here and realize that Carr probably wanted the best for Boren, but I highly doubt he would have ever pushed anybody to Ohio State.

In fact I bet what Carr's words to Angeliques were "It's a f*ck**g lie," Carr said, angrily. "That's a g*d d*mn lie! That's f*ck**g it."

Coach Carr should be enjoying retirement instead of dealing with this crap. People need to get some common sense and don't believe everything you read especially from a Columbus paper or for that matter anything from Jim Carty or the Detroit Free Press.

Also for people to actually believe it and question Carr and everything he has done for Michigan in his 28 years at Michigan while 13 of those years were head coach. He ran a clean program that everybody should be proud of and a National Championship to Ann Arbor.

Ha, who would believe the Columbus Dispatch, in that same story they said Boren had 1 % body fat, i would sure like to know where the other 30% went so fast... I don't care about anything said or done when it comes to UOS..
