Those who stay will be champions. . .

Jake Long is the opposite of Justin Boren!

While Boren, transferring to F*C* STATE, is a communist, Jake Long is the best of college football.

He is truly the epitome of class and the living example of Bo Schembechler's motto: THOSE WHO STAY WILL BE CHAMPIONS!

Mike Hart, Michigan's career leading rusher and a co-captain with Long last season, said there was no player more deserving of the No. 1 overall pick.
"If you want to talk about a sure thing, it's Jake Long," Hart said. "No quarterback (in this draft) is a guarantee with the top pick. The smartest pick, the best pick, and safest pick is Jake Long. He's someone who's not going to get in trouble. He's someone who everyone is going to like. He's not going to come in and be a (jerk).
"He's the perfect pick. A lot of guys would go buy a lot of cars and crazy jewelry, but he's probably going to show up in Miami driving his white S-10 truck. I saw him last Friday at a draft party, and I said, 'Jake, you're going to have a bunch of money to go buy whatever you want,' but he still wears the same jeans, same shirts, same everything. Jake is going to be Jake. He's a guy who plays football and acts like he doesn't have any money."
Carr said Long takes nothing but positives into the NFL.
"I think they're looking for more than a great football player; they're looking for a guy who can be a representative of not only the organization in the NFL, but the city and be a guy in the locker room who is going to represent and be the kind of leader that you need to be successful," Carr said.
"I think everybody who knows Jake is thrilled for him because, certainly there is a financial aspect of this thing, but I think in the years ahead, Jake will be everything for the Miami Dolphins that he was at Michigan. The thing I love the most about Jake, I know this won't change him. He's genuine, and he knows what he wants to do in life. I'm delighted for him."
