Aren't they already doing that?

Yeah, but now they will shed tears.

The heart and soul of your team starts with the OL. How good your OL is effects every part of your team and how good they have to be.

notre dame would sit in a corner and pout.

ND fans had them beating tOSU by 30....just sayin lol

 

[Special K]

With all the whining by everyone wouldn’t a Bama v Miami NC game be awesome?

That would be hilarious.

It apparently makes a big difference to get a game in between the end of the regular season and a month later bowl game. Good for us, hopefully.

That was his brother that went to TCU. The guy at Miami stayed and competed for the Center position until it was clear he wasn’t going to get it. Not sure we made a wise choice there.

Both Tommy and James transfered to TCU. Tommy retired from the game after a severe concussion at TCU. James then transferred to Miami.

I never cared about OSU one way or another until Downs and later Sayin. Screw these guys and that whole team.

And now that Miami has exposed those clowns as pretenders, I really, REALLY hope Alabama can finish the job and crush the B10 altogether.

Just look up what Coach Cristobal did here at Alabama 2015-2016 and you'll understand this......

 

[JDCrimson]

That would be hilarious.

I dont think we can handle that Miami run game. That was reminiscent of Bama 2012, v UGA in the SECX...

 

[rtr90]

well fought game in this round ... hope ours is too

 

[rtr90]

For folks who dont know Cristobal was on OL with Miami when Bama beat them for the title

You taught me something today. I didn’t know that.

Christobal said it...its about winning the physical battle in front of you...bring the violence! Hes right..that is the mantra you need on the OL and DL...we don't have that on the OL this year...but with NIL...you can get it...

our coaching philosophy doesnt promote that ... he called great game RTDB

 

[CrimsonTheory]

I said it before and I will say it again, there was no stand out team this year in CFB. Wide open field. Bama carries over the momentum from last game into tomorrow game they should have a good night.

if i remember correctly it was James who was highly rated recruit and his brother came as package

It was the other way around. Tommy Brockermeyer was a 5* OT prospect. James was a solid C/G prospect but not on the level of his brother. But Tommy could never add the 25-30# to fill the role. I think he even lost weight under our training regimen. He may actually have had a undiagnosed health issue contributing to his inability to gain weight.

Only reason I remembered this is because Sonny Dykes at TCU hired the Brockermeyer’s father as a graduate assistant and they wanted to have the chance to play for their dad. So they both transferred to TCU.
Ironically it was Tommy that was the higher rated prospect coming out of high school. But Tommy was nagged by injuries here and TCU. James turned out to have the greater upside.

 

[BamaNation]

Not to be petty...but hey Downs..."how do you like them apples?"

Nothing wrong with being petty about these things.

Wasn't it their older brother Luke who was hired by Dykes at TCU and not their father? Their dad is Blake Brockermeyer, who played at UT Austin and in the pros for a number of years, and their brother Luke also played at UT. I believe Dykes cut loose of Luke after James transferred to Miami.
