M ichigan fans showing up for the spring game April 4 saw fifth- year senior Graham Glasgow lining up to fire snaps for the victorious Blue squad. That wasn't a shocker, since Glasgow had been back practic- ing with the Wolverines prior to the spring game.

"The legal system has got as much hanging over his head as anybody could possibly put on him," Har- baugh said. "There's nothing more that I or the football program or the university could have on Graham right now than what they have.

I believe in him. I believe he will. "But we will all know. There will be no secrets on that. Whether he does or whether he doesn't will all be for public consumption."
