:hmfic: I bought the book myself years ago. I wrote a short sentence in the front inside cover and tried to make my wife think it was King Barry's handwriting, but made two critical mistakes; (1) I wrote lso's you could make out the signature and (2) I mispelled Switzer which she saw right away. Busted in San Antone!

I think it wouldn't be a bad idea to do a movie on coach switzer's book, love or hate the sooners, his legacy is in my opinion, which my be biased, is the most unique and not to mention exciting.. just rreading it makes me wanna go get me a little half pint of warm whiskey lol

CD or cassette? I see where you can download it, but not to an mp3 format.

I agree. It was the greatest team to ever take the field, and it's an interesting story. Who would make a good Bud?

Bill Walsh or Matthew McConahey, I can't decide.

Idolize? Dont overstep.

Switzer did a good job of not being a racist ******* when rival coaches he recruited against wouldnt even allow black socks in their program.

I dont have to name names here do I?

I'm reading "What It Means To Be A Sooner", another good book, related directly fron the players themselves. Even if it does refer to "Andre Woolfork" several times.
