Transferring out of Minnesota. .That didn't take long did it?

Source? I googled and it looks like a different QB is transferring which I guess would make Morgan the favorite to start. Either way looks like they're very thin at QB.

Right on the heels of Vic Viramontes leaving to be a Juco LB?

According to the TSN article, Morgan is the only scholarship QB remaining (the JC transfer, Viramontes, is the one that left).

Yes. My bad. Got it wrong.

I am happy for what PJ did to turn Western around, however i do not care in any way of the players they are getting or loosing. Please stop posting information about the gophers on this page for me to stupidly click on

...or you could just ignore the post? Not sure what else you would’ve expected from a thread named “Tanner Morgan”

PJ looking for 3-4 wins in 2018! New Mexico St could give them a game they were decent last year.

Fleck has named true Freshman walk-on Zack Annexstad Gophers' starting QB for 2018 opener.

Wonder if Morgan wishes now he had committed to WMU instead of to Fleck.

This.

Old news. Different program. Not on the schedule. Could care less what the coach or team does. I don't get the obsession or groupie mentality.

Just college football news. If you are not interested you are not required to read it but there are some that are still interested in what goes on with good ole Peej.

If it's college football news then posting about Northwestern or Oklahoma here is all good, right?

Those obsessing over Peej might consider getting a room or using the PM feature of the forum. I'm here for the Broncos, not an old coach or B1G team.

I nearly posted something when I read that a walk on was to start there. It is pertinent to this board in that Morgan was commited to WESTERN at one time. His fortunes and ours changed when Fleck left. Our QB depth chart would or wouldn’t have been better. Hard to say it would be worse with Morgan behind Wassink. How would last season have played out if Morgan entered? But the fact that he wasn’t named starter and was beaten by a walk on does not bode well for him. Possibly wrong fit and he would do better elsewhere? Maybe if he named WESTERN as a potential destination would that meet your requirements for posting such a subject?

I’m starting to get annoyed by the perceived ownership of this forum. If you can’t connect the dots and see how this is at least a bit relevant then "stupidly" is the appropriate adverb for your action.

Edit: commented as soon as I saw the crying about Minnesota and Fleck. Morgan is still on their roster. Does not change the facts and opinions stated above.

I have to agree here... This is actually pertinent even if Morgan was never on WMU's radar. Its college football and whether we choose to appreciate or not Fleck's time here... he was a coach here and did well. We had threads that followed Cubit and Darnell when they left WMU... It IS relevant and I personally find it interesting watching how Fleck does at Minn. because we have history here... and whether you want him to fail or succeed .. its a storyline that IS connected. Fleck wouldn't be where he is now had he not been hired here at WMU.

Absolutely a correct assessment. If he challenges for and somehow wins a B1G championship could you imagine the conjecture on this board? What if...(much crying ensues). I don’t follow Minnesota football but if something hits the radar that had to do with our program, which the next 3-4 years does because he and any one of those recruits that he took with him could’ve affected us positively or negatively, then it definitely is worthy of discussion on this board.

Spot on!

Wow. Starting a walk-on freshman? Either they are in deep, deep doo-doo, or that guy is going to be the next... the next... well, the next great Gopher QB!

There's nothing unusual about fans providing tidbits about former players, coaches and recruits. I saw NIU fans posting updates on Jerry Kill, CMU for Kelly/Jones/Enos, Toledo for Matt Campbell, etc. Here, we did the same for Cubit when he was active in coaching, there were even Illinois game threads when he was HC there.

Like them or not, they are a part of our school's history.

Not limited to college. Detroit Tigers fans and local media still follow Justin Verlander's every move. The reason is because the name still draws up casual interest.

Get out of here with your common sense and logic!

What y'all do is fine if it makes you happy.

I prefer to be in the present and dream of the future.
