1. Please tell me he's related to Chris
2. How could you turn down a linebacker named Tuf!?

Unfortunately, this article says no relation:
Wisconsin recruiting: Badgers offer James Allen, Tuf Borland; 3 visits expected for Illinois game - Bucky's 5th Quarter

 

[Ndaccountant]

not the picture I was expecting when I opened up this thread. At least he isn't wearing a V neck.

 

[Irish#1]

With a name like Tuf, he's a must take.

 

[AdmiralBackhand]

I don't think so, Tim.

 

[Irishbounty28]

So if he isn't related to Chris...must be related to Al.

 

[Wild Bill]

Same high school as Micah Dew-Treadway, I think. Bolingbrook has been pumping out some talent lately.

Let's hope Chryst has similar fortune recruiting in-state offensive linemen.

 

[GoIrish41]

That may be the best linebacker name of all time.

i imagine the legacy is from chris borland?

are they brothers? strange how chris was from ohio and tuf ends up being from illinois?

[Riddickulous]

Wisconsin fans already hate Paul Chryst.

Just because they're both white doesn't mean they're related

Wonder what Tuf is short for, Tuffington? If that's the case, I'd definitely go with Tuf.

Dey fans is dumb. Borland and Werner both played really well against scUM and Washington. I know they both had their rough patches, but the arrow is pointing up on both guys, IMO. They figured some stuff out for those last three games.

Borland figured out how to be not slow?
