5 Questions for.. Brian Bosworth
"I'd love to move back to Norman," says the 39-year-old Boz, now a resident of Malibu, Calif., "but there ain't no way in hell my wife would let me." One can dream, at least, so the ex-Oklahoma star ('84-86) took time out from shooting a 2005 remake of The Longest Yard to get nostalgic about Norman.
1. "The Boz's Guide to Norman," please.
The only place I can remember in Norman is Camille's, [a hair salon] where Camille and I invented "the Boz." I'd sit down in that barber chair, and we'd invent some weird s--- like the mohawk and tail with colors and stuff. That place is gone now. Everything's changed since my day.
2. Would a quiet country boy with curly blond locks like Jason White have fit in on your teams?
He'd have fit in, but I don't know if he'd have survived. It might have changed him. The thing with us was, we had a coach who let stuff like me fly. Coach Stoops knows better, and that's why you have kids like Jason. We were all characters in my day. Almost make-believe.
3. Someone recently pulled a prank at your rival, Oklahoma State. They're rebuilding the brick wall around the football stadium, and someone wrote OU in the bricks.
[b]Well, it was probably a retarded Texas alum who didn't know how to spell OSU. But that OSU-OU rivalry is all bull----. Texas-OU is the real rivalry. You can never take away my hatred of those a-------.
4. You even got into trouble for bad-mouthing Texas during your gig as a commentator on TBS last year.
Wasn't the first time I pissed on Texas. Won't be the last.
5. Currently you're working on a remake of The Longest Yard with Nelly, Adam Sandler and, of all people, Miami alum Michael Irvin, whom you've met on the field before.
I play on the prison guard team, and the other day we were going over some of the scenes for a game we're filming. I made sure to pull someone aside and make him promise to send Michael across the middle. Him and Nelly. I love those guys, but there won't be any of that jive talk and dancing on this field, I promise you that. -- Adam Duerson
