Players Salute to Barry

[Atlsooner]

I live in Georgia, and so alot of you might have seen this. But for us who remember the teams from the 70's and 80's, I came across this on Youtube and really enjoyed watching it, as it brought back alot of memories.

Great video!

When did I get so old?

...er, BOOMer, consarnit.

Thanks for posting that. Good memories of a great era of Oklahoma football.

[BajaOklahoma]

Thanks for sharing this.
I remember hearing about it and wishing I could be a fly on the wall to watch it.

[King Crimson]

i've seen that before in a vid my dad gave me....but, fuggin hell....great to see again.

[jk the sooner fan]

wow - kind of weird to see Kerry Jackson on that video

the old timers will know the significance of that

[jkjsooner]

I see Kelly Phelps didn't bother to dress up for the occasion...

I'm sure it's sad for some to see Lee Roy Selmon in there.

Man what a great video that brings back many many good memories; i grew up in the Switzer era and seeing those old highlights was wonderful; RIP Jack Mildren, Daryl Hunt, Lee Roy Selmon, and Steve Williams

...so I could watch it at werk...

[SoonerTerry]

ok...
I've decided to start a bucket list

#1. Meet Barry Switzer

[possumfat]

That was a great two hours spent watching the "King", must have been something else to be recruited by this man and how he presented what the player will experience at Oklahoma! The confidence and swagger he displayed showed up on the field and in the players attitude...........................might be along time before we ever see this again.

It was special!

[70sooner]

I loved that story from Eddie Hinton about he and Mizoo's Roger Wehrli.

Cracked me up....

[ashley]

He recruited one of my players in the late 70's. I got to spend some time with him then and more thru the years. I have met them all and he is the best without a doubt.

Ditto.
Need to add David Overstreet and Derrick Sheppard.

Or 15 fumbles at Nebraska.
Or being the recipient of the hardest hit I've ever seen a Sooner take in the '78 game (about the 1:30 mark) :

I'd obviously been happy had Billy hung onto the ball later on, but I've always felt a little less bad about that loss because we in all probability should've been down more than 3 points when he did it thanks to that blown call.

[boomersooner28]

How in the hell have I missed this!?!? GREAT video. Man every time I hear the voice of Jack Mildren I get choked up. I love that man and miss him. Gone wayy too soon. It is wonderful to be a Sooner.

Dittos. Same here.

I was talking about Phelps' fumbles when he was playing QB at Nebraska. He had some serious speed but fumblitis won't get you far in the wishbone.
