He was the back-up quarterback -- a walk on -- playing the last game of his senior year shortly after his father died and four years into a checkered athletic career. Bram Kohlhausen was not emotionally prepared when tapped to start in the 2016 Alamo Bowl after Texas Christian University’s star QB was arrested for punching a San Antonio cop in a bar fight. Behind 31-0 against the 5th ranked Oregon Ducks at halftime, Bram won the game in its third overtime. This legendary matchup is considered perhaps the most riveting of comebacks in college bowl history. 

''Now that Jim Reeves has written a book about the 2016 Alamo Bowl, the astounding result of that game has become official. It deserved nothing less.'' --Chuck Culpepper, Washington Post 

"Even readers who have no affiliation with TCU will find themselves caught up in this tale of triumph. A deeply reported and well-told account of a legendary day on the gridiron." -Kirkus Reviews.

“Reeves is the consummate journalist who will chase a story until it gives up. His work ethic shines through in Remember the Alamo Bowl.” – Jim Dent, author of Twelve Mighty Orphans: The Inspiring True Story of the Mighty Mites Who Ruled Texas Football and The Junction Boys: How Ten Days in Hell with Bear Bryant Forged a Championship Team

“A candid and poignant true life parable of one young man's winding journey from unfilled promises to a moment of magical destiny. A beautiful, uplifting story, so very well told...” –Carlton Stowers, two-time Edgar winner and author of Staubach: Portrait of the Brightest Star
