Father says to Switzer, “how about a beer Barry”? Switzer shoots back, ”only if it’s a Pearl”……Game Over.

Im a huge Switzer fan. He had a run of years where they were the baddest boys on the block.......and just lined up and whipped your ass. He was "renegade cool", the Pete Carroll of his time. Those days are gone. Stoops doesn't have Barry's pizazz, but the program is no-nonsense clean and Bob brought them back from the depths of the Blake/Schnelly darkness.........an act that buys him a ton of slack. They will be as good as the players they recruit........that's Bob's biggest shortfall.
