I assumed that this post was about Graham returning... but was nervous that he'd severed his spinal cord because of all the downer rumors on MGoBoard lately.

The article on MLive says, "But, after his 10-sack campaign, Graham apparently isn't ready yet to announce that he's returning for his final season. Although Rodriguez said last week he believes Graham will be back, the defensive end declined to discuss his future when the bust had ended."

Via free media: http://michigandaily.com/content/2008-12-05/graham-named-mvp-michigan-f… LIVONIA — Two weeks ago, junior Brandon Graham was walking toward the Michigan football buses outside Ohio Stadium after the Wolverines' 42-7 loss to the Buckeyes. He stopped to talk with director of strength and conditioning Mike Barwis. The defensive end told Barwis he was excited to see what type of leader he would be next year. Graham has already received a sign of respect from his teammates, who elected him the Bo Schembechler Most Valuable Player. The award was presented Thursday night at the 88th annual Michigan Football Bust at Laurel Manor in Livonia. “I didn't see this one coming,” said Graham, who some have speculated might forego his senior season to enter the NFL Draft. “I didn't think I was going to be up here until next year." Although Graham could change his mind and declare for the draft before the Jan. 15 deadline, he said he plans to return next year. “We're going to fight even harder for next year," Graham said. “I'm going to be your all leader, man. You just have to follow me, and we're going to make it happen."

The best part about this is that leadership is beginning to emerge for next year: Graham on D, Minor on the offense, even a guy like Moosman has made it clear that next year the fire will return.
