DECEMBER 2016 THE WOLVERINE 13   INSIDE MICHIGAN ATHLETICS "He's definitely a Heisman candidate, playing 10, 11 positions or however many positions he's play- ing. A big reason why the boys in blue are head- ing to the postseason."— Charles Woodson, current ESPN analyst and former Michigan Heisman winner, on redshirt sophomore linebacker Jabrill Peppers dur- ing the ESPN broadcast of the Maryland game "We have changed [philosophy]. They're going to know: You're going to have to earn your fifth year. They all have four-year scholarships. ... We'll be very transparent with that if, at some point in the next year, we decide there's not going to be the fifth year." — Michigan basketball coach John Beilein on the status of players who have possible fifth years of eligibility, such as forward Mark Donnal (Detroit Free Press) "People have been making sport of me since I can remember. My earliest memories, 5, 6, 7, 8 [years old] in the schoolyard, people would make sport of me. But it was pretty high-class being on 'The Simpsons.' It's one of my favorite shows. The animated shows — 'The Simpsons' and 'Spongebob [SquarePants]' — [are] my two all-time favorites." — Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh in response to being made fun of on 'The Simpsons' (Detroit Free Pess) THEY SAID IT Hall of Fame baseball player Hank Aaron on being the Michigan honorary captain against Illinois (Rich Eisen Show) "I've been involved in a lot of things, but when the coach of- fered me that when he came here to work out a couple ball players, I said I've got to go. I have a granddaughter there. She's a student at Michigan, and so when she heard about it, the first thing she said was 'Papa, you've got to go.' Well when she said that, that's all she needed to say. But anyhow, I was thrilled." PHOTO BY LON HORWEDEL 1969 MICHIGAN vs OHIO STATE GAME Michigan Stadium, Ann Arbor, Michigan NOW ON DVD!!
