The Situational:

Justin Boren was still a Michigan Wolverine when the 2007 Buckeyes were presented with their Gold Pants in Spring 2008.

Four days after that week's celebrated public scrimmage, the Michigan legacy and eldest Boren son informed Jim Tressel he would be walking on in Columbus (we were still a few years away from native Ohioans taking our talents to places; the phrase had not yet been invented). The de facto Big Ten title game had been played in Ann Arbor the previous November, with Boren's new team suffocating his former one.

He was starting as a freshman and had been on the field for all of the Wolverines' offensive plays that afternoon, during which they produced only three points.
