Official: Shea Patterson eligible for 2018
https://mgoblue.com/news/2018/4/27/football-joint-statement-from-michig…
Following notification of this change, the University of Mississippi promptly reached out to the University of Michigan to discuss how these new standards could impact the University of Mississippi's support of a transfer student-athlete's desire to compete immediately at the University of Michigan. The University of Mississippi and the University of Michigan have worked together over the last several days in conjunction with the NCAA national office staff, and with a focus on the best interest of the student-athlete, to put forward a new waiver application. That new application was submitted this week by the University of Michigan and supported by both schools. The University of Michigan has withdrawn its previous waiver application and all associated materials in favor of this new, cooperative approach based on facts which all parties agree to. The waiver has now been approved by the NCAA and thus football student-athlete Shea Patterson will be eligible to compete in the 2018-19 academic year.
Well, it's pretrty clear why confidence was so high in the Fort. Ole Miss surrendered with terms.
I was wrong about this. I thought Speight's departure was a vote of confidence in Peters/McCaffrey. Now, it's possible that one or both of those guys will be great. But the feel around the outside of the program seems to make it clear that Shea is good and is likely to start. So he appears to be a clear step up, and that this is huge news for the program tells us what an issue the QB situation was to be going forward.
And, no question, this is great news.

The last couple of years of Hoke had them but not under Coach Harbaugh.

This is HUGE. If we get a competent offense to pair with our defense, we should expect to be playing The Game for BIG championship game spot.
Thafuck you eat a baby for?
people have been predicting this for a while now. We just didn't want to be too optimistic about it
MK just waited until a week ago and "predicted" the same thing others have been predicting all along AND claimed to have inside knowledge of the situation...
I have to give you credit for not backing down.
I assume we're all Michigan fans so Shea being eligible is all that matters.
Go Blue!
You're giving your other user account credit for not backing down.
Your going to need quite a few more accounts to upvote yourself out of that hole
Good one. hahahahahhalololololohahahahalololo
Did you come up with that one all by yourself?
hahahahahahahlololololololololhahahahahaha
You should be a fucking comedian!
hahahahahahahahlololololololololollololololhahahahah
Looking at your posting history and points you must of done a lot of shadow work before you went full throttle troll.
Were you born an idiot or did you become one over time? Asking for a friend.
"I've tried hard to give some info and mostly I've been shit on."
I'm gonna guess that's because you 'give your info' in the most obnoxious, self-congratulatory way you can think of. But hey, you do you. Shine on, you crazy diamond.
How is calling an asshole an asshole being a snowflake? But sure, you go ahead and call people snowflakes when it's you who's offended. That'll work.
With the best ending. Had to scroll all the way through it to get to the good part.
Don't let attorneys write press releases!
Well, that was easy.
We all knew this was going to happen in February. And yet Ol Miss didn't? Delusional folks down there.
He was looking for "milquetoast" but he spelled it fonetikaly.
My pee pee has never been harder.
Penicillin wouldn't do much against Chlyamidia fyi.
NOW, I will celebrate!!!!!
Ole Miss objected with Patterson's assessment that he had been misled by the school and Hugh Freeze.
The revised agreement allowed Patterson to gain his eligibility in exchange for removing language from his appeal that there was "egregious behavior" by Ole Miss.
This would essentially allow both parties to walk away without animus.
Ole Miss - We know we're dirty, everyone else knows we're dirty, but if you just don't shout it out so loud, we'll agree with the waiver
