Why Boren really left UM: Barwis!

Not to beat a dead horse here but read on to see what the Michigan players will go through this summer...The Tornado! This is why Mr Soft, lazy Boren left for OSU...Coach Barwis and his conditioning program.

Mention the summer at hand, and he'll make grown men cheer, cry and … well, revisit in convulsing fashion any clandestine Krispy Kreme encounters.

"I always tell them, 'The tornado's coming,'" he says of Michigan's summer conditioning program. "Bottom line is, we're going to go harder than we went in the winter, no question. The summer is the most difficult time when it comes to training and development.

"We're trying to prepare for a game that is not a soft game. It's a contact sport, it's a physical game, it has a lot of physical demands, and we want to be ready for them. We will be more ready than anybody in the country when the time comes. That's the key.

"We want to have the best-conditioned, most physical team in the United States of America. And it takes punishment and pain to get there. That's going to happen.
