from ESPN:
The Ole Miss athletic department told the NCAA earlier this month it didn't support Patterson's original request because they believed the basis of his claim -- that former coach Hugh Freeze convinced him and others to stay at Ole Miss last year by lying about the scope and potential punishment of the NCAA's investigation into the program -- was untrue. Those claims weren't included in the new waiver requested submitted this week.

Basically the NCAA is saying we don't want the public to know about how bad the state of college football is and they don't want Ole Miss to face any further punishment, so they are trying to save face and UM agreed to it because they get what they want? This is why I could never be in a leadership/management position because if I represented UM/Patterson I would never let them off the hook for that crap.
Deliver us from...uh... not winning the B1G.
I like this picture. Good pad level. If you listen hard enough you can hear football being played.
Fierce.
I'd rather party like it's 1997.
Still, I'm rooting for Peters.
Go Blue.
I don't get rooting for individual guys to start, unless you're part of his family or something.
I'm rooting for Michigan. Play the best player.
We get attached to guys. We're fans. We follow them from when they're in high school through whatever professional career they have.
So it's natural to want the best for someone like Peters. So long as we accept that the good of the team is paramount. I mean, I wanted Tate Forcier to do well and I was frustrated on his behalf as it seemed that he would lose his starting job... but, uh, I was really happy with how Denard took the reins.
It's not rocket science - he likes Peters, and hopes he wins the job. I don't have a favorite candidate for the starting QB job, but I can certainly understand that someone else might.
Winovich, though, I am rooting for as a starter.

wish it made a difference, but it doesn't. Things just happen.
Wow!

I thought our Oline were good enough to keep whoever is the starter this year from getting pounded. But as it stands right now, I would not care to bet that our opening game starter will still be hale and hearty by November.

STATES! on the road!
I'd like to also beat the third State. At home!
ALL OF 'EM!!!
Quoth the Maron, "We doing this?"
Far too much red. MAKE IT BLUE!
Brian we like this pic better
Let us not stick with the nickname "The Blue Tomato."
Though it is catchy, original and organic.
May, June, July, and August.

Hold on there Speedy. Spring into summer into fall is my favorite time of year in Michigan, when I wouldn't want to live in any other state. I try to slow it down as much as possible. You gotta let time just come to you, man. (bong hit).

Everything we have done or will do we will do over and over and over again- forever.
I'm excited but am sick of winning the offseason. I hope to God we wreck some people come fall.
YAHOO!
We watch MSU turn Lewerke into a winner, Whisky same thing, PSU, hell even IU and that’s just the B1G. Don’t even start on the freshman & Sophomores across CFB that we’ve had to watch succeed while we just lean on excuses about youth. If Mccaffrey is/was a 5* then you come able to play. Same with Peters and his 4* rating. How can you deserve those ratings and be 2-3 yrs from ready? And what voodoo is it that makes nobody’s like Lewerke so much more capable with far lower ratings?
A RS freshman thrown into the starting role early in his career due to injuries, made some damn fine plays and yes, some poor ones. The OL and frosh WR corps were huge disappointments last year, but everyone lays it all on the young QB. Whatever. I think Shae will start, but I'm glad we have Peters to back him up.

Freshmen that are ready to play are the exception not the rule in CFB. We have several good QB's. But when fate/Ol Miss/whatever drops a VERY good QB in our lap we'd be foolish not to take him. Our season would have been better than last year even without him, just because our very young 2017 is a year more experienced. This kicks everything up a notch.

"Harbaugh runs a complex offense that takes time to learn" meme? Even if that's true, what sense does it make to have a offense so complicated that nobody can be effective in it until their 4th or 5th year?
There's been alot more to strighten with the offense that Jim Harbaugh took over than the defense.
having Jim McElwain, who was the OC for Nick Saban when he won his first National Title at Alabama, helps.

shouldn't only be able to make quality starters out of 4 and 5 star recruits. That's not a very high bar.
