Name drop a former college football player who people may have forgotten about

[Kennythetiger 9,341]

Ah, shit. 

[HRSchenker 2,259]

Connor Brewer. He was easy to forget because he went from Texas to Arizona to Northern Arizona and then to Virginia where he did a poor job of being a backup QB

[Kyrie Eleison 9,312]

Ignazio “Nacho” Albergamo, LSU... 3 time all-SEC center, 2 time All-American, 3 time Academic All-American...players center at 6’3”, 267.

Nacho is now Ignazio Albergamo, M.D., internal medicine specialist, too small to play in the NFL so he took a different route to greatness.

how about KiKi DeAyala?



Guys this good should be known by future generations, but i doubt many fans under 40 have even heard of him.

Here's a guy from recent times who I feel like hasn't been talked about since the day he played his last game for Texas, despite him having a pretty damn impressive resume:

•HS All American 

•5* recruit/no.1 in the nation at his position

•All Big XII Freshman Team 

•Two-time 1st team All Big XII

•2012 Big XII DPOY

•2012 First Team All American

•Alamo Bowl MVP with a record 4.5 sacks in the game 

•Played HS ball 15 miles from DKR and led his team to the state title game 

If Alex Okafor played on better teams as a junior and senior he'd be talked about a helluva lot more.

Guy is still big!  He was the builder of a development in Rockport that had a home owners meeting I went to after the hurricane.  Really nice guy also.  

[orangecat92 306]

The RB named Walker, John Walker, I think, from Killeen HS?  He was very successful at Texas, late 70s, early 80s.  He flew over the goal line.  He looked like he had jumped on a trampoline in the backfield.  He was almost a guarantee to get that last yard.

Joseph Albergamo, but yeah that’s a good shout out.  Another o-lineman I always liked off that squad, Ruffin Rodrigue.

The LSU team that won the 1987 Gator Bowl was fucking stacked.  Tommy Hodson, Wendell Davis, Brian Kinchen, Harvey Williams, etc. etc. etc.

I was sure beyond any doubt that one of USCs wrs (either mike Williams or Dwayne Jarrett) would’ve had long, successful NFL careers.

Y’all are forgetful as shit...

He broke Ricky's record the very next year. Fell off the map after his first few years in the NFL and I haven't heard of him since and never hear many mention him;

Dude had what could be another season more carries than Ricky, 209, and 1 fewer touchdown rubs

Gordie Lockbaum of Holy Cross fame.  

In college I killed it betting on holy cross that year. Lockbaum was the VY of the Patriot League in that he refused to lose.

I used to laugh and rake in the easy money while my buddy used to “chase the sun” while he kept betting up to catch up and would always end up with the final bet of the day being on Hawaii lulz.../csb

Zorich ended up being AD at Chicago St in 2018-2019.  That just seemed a bit weird to me...

Tyrone Thurman from Tech...dude was like 5'6" or something and I want to say was an All-American KR/PR in the mid-80s. He was awesome. 

[Iceman 2,647]

Smurf.

 

Heart of a Lion.   From Midland Lee. I saw him play in the Oil Bowl in Wichita Falls and thought that was a great premonition of things to come.   It was.

He is still much beloved among Tech fans.

Since this is a UT board I am sure most of you guys haven't forgotten about him, but he is my favorite UT player of all time so I have to give him a shout out whenever I can. 

I didn't realize he playing in 2010 I thought he was way older than that.

A couple of guys that were dueling it out for the Heisman in the late 80's, Major Harris (WVU) and Tony Rice(ND)

Some dudes around that same time frame from the SWC:

Trevor Cobb- Rice RB and 1991 Doak Walker winner

Chuck "Spoon" Weatherspoon from UH.  Bowling ball RB during the run-n-shoot days.  Ran for 1000 yds each of his last 3 years.

Lloyd Hill, WR at Tech was fun to watch.

Zebbie Letheridge, just because his name is Zebbie.

1996, Hoopies at Pitt Stadium in the opener. Pitt brought back #99.....Hugh Greeeeeen for the game. He's just the greatest college defender I saw play in person. I wrote a nice story about Hugh, he's been raising cattle back home in Mississippi for years.

Anyway, first carry of the game, Amos goes 69 yards for a TD. We lost, 34-0. Amos was very good.

It was the beginning of the worst season ever. We lost to WVU and then 72-0 to the Buckeyes, 45-0 to Miami, 60-6 at ND, 34-17 at Va. Tech, 55-7 at Syracuse, lost to Houston in OT.

But hey, we beat Kent, Temple (53-52), BC and Rutgers. That game with Amos was the beginning of Johnny Majors final season in his return to Pitt. 

I was at every game, and it was brutal.

Paul Palmer

 

Pitt has had many instances of idiocy. One of them was Mike Gottfried firing the greatest Offensive Line coach of all time, Joe Moore. Moore left Pitt, went to Temple for two seasons before he went out to Notre Dame. The entire Pitt offensive line wanted to transfer to Temple, to play for Moore but he would not let them. Temple came to Pitt Stadium in 1986 & 1987 and won both games.

1986 was behind the running of Paul Palmer, led by a Moore-coached offensive line. Palmer was fantastic and ran for over 1,800 yards that year. The next season Todd McNair ran all over us. Bruce Arians was the Temple head coach at the time.
