In the midst of our friendly bantering let's have a bit of "unity fun". Suppose that for the past 4-5 years Bellarmine University had been building a college football team compiled soley of all X and T grads. (I say 5 years accounting for red shirts). What kind of team do you think BU would have? Do you think they would compete as a D-I, II, or III? For example, I'd say we'd all agree Brohm would be the QB. The o-line could have Jefferies, McCormick, Pappas, Coxon, Spoelker, etc. Defense would have Byck...... What sayeth the round table? Who'd be in the line up?

Eric Senn would be an all around....as would Andrew Oldenberg, and Blayne Donnell....

 

 

side note....Eric is out for the season up at Yale..

Kicker: Ryan Tydlacka

 

Lineman: Alex Temple and Dylan Thiery

 

WR: Ta'shawn McBroom

Off the top of my head from the Tigers (in addition to Justin Jeffries and Dan Bick who are already listed) obvious choices...Victor Anderson, Joe Tronzo, Justin Deeley, Danny Zepp, and Nick Schickel.

Those worthy of strong consideration.....Michael Mattingly, Derrick Elder (probably at his natural Center position that he is now playing at WKU), KJ Austin-Bruce, Ricky Watkins, and Tim Dougherty.

Three all around picks who could have starred at other positions and obviously rank behind BB at QB are Brent Curley, Brian Bishop and Ryan Joyner.

I feel like I am missing a couple of obvious choices but these are some that immediately came to mind.

I forgot about Ryan....what an athlete...

I think the RB spot would be full...KJ would have to pla something else...

How cool would that be:ylsuper: Can Bellarmine find some space for a 37,000 seat stadium?

^ Could you imagine? Really? Bellarmine is really sitting on a time bomb...if they would only do it...granted they would be NAIA, or D-III, a team like Mount Union would be given fits...

Shoot...they should buy up Richmond Avenue and build it next to the Golf Course. Can you imagine the nightmare traffic on Newburg and Norris if that happened? :lol:

Hey out of the coaches from T and X who would coach them!!

Head Coach: Dennis Lampley

Off Cord: Bob Beatty

Def Cord: Mike Glaser

Head Coach: Dennis Lampley

Off Cord: Bob Beatty

I would switch Coaches Lampley and Glaser.

The good news is they are "STILL UNDEFEATED".

 

Sorry, I couldn't resist. BU sells T-Shirts in the book store with Bellarmine Football on the front and that printed on the back.

They would be a very good college football team.

Michael Mattingly is playing full contact IM football at Notre Dame and doing considerably well. His team played in the championship game last year as a frosh and he got to score his first TD in Notre Dame stadium!
