Rumor is circulating that the NCAA is about to grant Tanner Morgan another year of eligibility

Official announcement likely won't come until early next week.

If he comes back as a starter you can kiss the Greek goodbye.

Look on a calendar

 

[Willwin40]

He already had the extra Covid year.

Just happens to be April 1st, coincidence I'm sure.

 

[Willwin40]

Duh! Not awake yet.

Morton Tammer enrolled.

Tanner "Sid Finch" Morgan throws a missile 90 yards flat footed.

You should have consulted with Aristotle first?

 

[GridironGus]

Insiders say that Morgan will NOT be competing for the starting quarterback spot but will instead be moving to the TE position in the Gophers' new "Tight End Friendly" offense. Not only do offensive co-coordinators Matt Simon and Greg Harbaugh plan to throw more passes to the Tight Ends, but they will also employ formations with multiple Tight Ends with their Tight Ends sometimes throwing the football to each other. That speculation stems from the fact that former Minnesota quarterbacks Seth Green and Marqueis Gray have both entered the transfer portal and appear headed back to Dinkytown.

My best friend’s son’s girlfriend’s cousin who went to high school with Tanner says he wants to return for one more year to be the holder for punts. The direct grapevine quote is, “I’ve always coveted the Peter Mortell Holder of the Year Award and we’re going to bring it back home!”

I am retired so the calendar has no meaning to me so I am easily duped on 04/01.

Bout damn time the HOTY comes back home.....Can't think of a more noble reason to return to college for year 11.

These days I'm not sure it matters! Didn't the NCAA just grant someone a seventh year of eligibility recently?

Edit: Actually a player from Oregon, Cam McCormick, was granted a ninth year of eligibility in December. It's entirely plausible that Tanner Morgan is still eligible to play CFB.

April fool.

 

[60's Guy]

Not how I heard it…he’s getting the extra year but transferring to Notre Dame, where he’s expected to become the starting QB and OC.
Noooo! Actually I think it was Rutgers!!

I heard NDSU so he can also play in CFL.

 

[Gophergrandpa]

Tanner was in the same recruiting class as CrAB, who expects to play for the Gophs this year. April Fools jokes are best when they are theoretically plausible.

 

[BigGopher69]

gopher staff would start athan over him anyway

 

[Big Dawg]

Heard a rumor, now that the players have NIL, eligibility is infinite. Play as long as you want.

 

[50PoundHead]

It seems like he's only a year away from collecting Social Security, so why not.

The Ole ball coach turned boys into men. PJ 1 upped him and turned boys into middle-aged men.

 

[JimmyJamesMD]

Heard a different rumor. He is expected to go in the first round of the NFL draft

 

[csom_1991]

Eli Manning dressed at Chad Powers actually looked younger than Morgan.

 

[Tommyboy]

Fargo paper stated Tanner would be playing for the Concordia Pipers next year, in order to attempt to move the team up to 2nd or 3rd in the MIAC.

I can't believe this thread still has legs!

 

[MNVCGUY]

I can't believe this thread still has legs!

The thread has legs but isn't a great runner and rumor is it can't throw a ball over 40 yards.

that will not work well in the MIAC or NFL
