Happy Monday, Eleven Warriors!

In case you missed The Weekender yesterday, Kirk Herbstreit has completed his metamorphosis into a Michigan fan to the chagrin of the lunatic fringe.

Granted, Herbstreit is obviously just trying to be a supportive dad, but this betrayal by a former Ohio State quarterback has still prompted the idea for This Week’s Question:

If you could convert one former Michigan football player into an Ohio State fan, which one would you choose?

Because I am a very normal and well-adjusted person that thrives on the anguish of Wolverine fans, I obviously want to pick someone that the Michigan faithful would throw a fit over seeing support their arch-rival. Therefore, my pick would have to be either Charles Woodson or Tom Brady.

Woodson would probably maximize the devastation relative to the Michigan football program itself. Brady would also remove the common talking point Wolverines make of the NFL “GOAT” being a supporter of TTUN, even if he was largely unspectacular during his time in Ann Arbor. I’d be lying if I said I didn’t briefly consider Jim Harbaugh for pure amusement, but why would I want a cheater tied to the Buckeye brand?

Ramzy elected Mike Boren, largely because he sort of already experienced this scenario when all three of his sons ended up playing football at Ohio State.

But what about you? Which Wolverine would you brainwash into supporting the Buckeyes just to make Michigan fans squirm?
