In this Iowa/Mizzou game a guy didn't know he had a year left and got a 6th year because of covid so maybe there is a chance for Broughton if he wants to>?

I thought I heard he was playing in his 73rd game. 

Every player using their "Covid year" should have an asterisk by their career statistics.

Where’s his brother?

He medically retired. We were a fucking dumpster fire at the time. It's easy to get all tribal, but 2020 Bama vs Mensa? He made a choice that he thought was going to get him to the NFL. 

Also, the 9.95ers fucked this one up, #10 player in the country. Fuck nope.

I’d buy Luke Brockermeyer a beer if I met him. Kid did the best he could, and the no-star walk on had a better college career than his bros… and did it as a Longhorn. Hook ‘em, Luke. 

Kinda crazy how some things work out like they do…not always, of course…but he and Taffee are the exceptions.

Supposedly Tom was wrecking shit at camps prior injury.

Tommy was really good as a prospect and did decently in spring camp his first year at Bama before his injuries hit and took his mobility. Couldn't really compete after those.

Feel bad for the kid...kinda.

Grudges are to be nourished and maintained in these lands.

A few people have mentioned the Washington State DT that entered the portal several weeks ago. Pete Nakos posted an update on him:

Washington State DL David Gusta
David Gusta is the No. 2 ranked player in the Transfer Portal at his position per the On3 Industry. According to On3’s Steve Wiltfong, he’s weighing a return to Washington State or visiting Oklahoma State

Sounds like a really in-demand player juggling bluebloods like those.

Wasn't the rumor that he gave his brothers a lukewarm review from inside the program and that helped push them to Bama?

I don't really give a fuck about any of the Brocks at this point. They made a business decision to turn their back on our program at a time when we really, really could have used a win, and that's their prerogative. But as far as I'm concerned the whole family can fuck right off and go enjoy game day at Bama TCU Miami from now on.

The only “family rumors” I recall from back in the day are from a different family with a prominent OL patriarch: Bruce Matthews allegedly watched one of our practices, saw the shit coaching and instructed his kids to stay far away from whatever idiot we were rolling out as OL coach at the time. Of course, the Matthews boys all became aggy, so fuck them.

The Sherm could recruit the fuck out of OL.

Woof. I was shocked when people mentioned him as an option for us. Not Texas good.

you’d think that someone who spent so much time in the nfl would have a rudimentary understanding of how Agents work. But not this fucking idiot. 

 

You can tell he’s one of these guys who gets completely full of himself when a little bit of good happens. 8-4 with a bowl win over Mack Brown’s leftovers to go 9-4 and he’s full of piss and vinegar, the second coming of Knute Rockne. Born on third, thinks he hit a triple.

No ..rumor, well actually truth, was that the bros were trying to recruit players committed at the time to Texas to go to Bama. They both got kicked out the group chat.  Brocks were upset that Herman didn't offer/recruit the smaller one like they did with Tommy.

Dad seemed to take it the most personally.. but they didn't hold it against Dabo for never offering the small one til very very late either.

Fuck the Brocks. They were dicks about it and chose poorly. That cost Blake whatever status he had here as a prominent former player.

It clearly wasn’t worth it since the betrayal gained them nothing. They just look like clowns…which as I recall from a Daily Texan story decades ago, Blake is afraid of.

Bold strategy Cotton. I mean, which good players in the portal are even still available? Maybe Branch and Squirrel? The ISU DT?

I'm usually trust the corches but it feels like they're really gambling with this year's portal approach

We can apply many criticisms to the Brockermeyers, but fearing clowns is not one of them. Any person of sound mind and body should absolutely fear clowns and stay vigilant in keeping them far away from themselves and their family.
