Barry Switzer is on the other side of the bar.

[coachkiss 166]

I’d enjoy getting drunk with him. I picture him telling some pretty good stories. 

 

Got drunk with him, my buddy, Dean Blevins, and two very attractive ladies at the old Spirit Grille in Irving after some radio remote. One of the best times of my life.

 

Had him autograph my ticket stub from the Richard Walton Texas-Baylor game. He autographed it, “Hook ‘em, Barry Switzer”. I gave it to my OU buddy as a gift.

[Armybrat 41320]

You a cruel guy, eh? Lol

[South Austin 53154]

In all honesty, I'd probably shoot the shit with Switzer over some drinks.  He seems a hell of a lot cooler and more approachable than Bob Stoops.   

On a related note, Brian Bosworth lives in the Austin area (Lakeway maybe?) and I've heard a few stories reporting that he's actually a great guy and likes talking to Texas fans.

I'm with CTJ on this.  Though it feels fkn weird saying that.  Anyway wtf is going on here?  "Rather have beers with Barry over Mack", um no.  Weird way to end the day.  Switzer can lick a dirty asshole.   

I would probably get angrier at Mack if he started in on the entitled shit.

True.  A lot of the UT fans I actually know in what we call real life have good stories.  Not as fun as Switzer but certainly a great guy to pound some drinks with.  

But even with Barry in Oklahoma I’ve heard more Switzer boozing stories from UT fans.  

There’s a level of respect between the programs.  At least way more than with aggy.

What a bunch of fucking benedict arnold dipshits on this thread. The fucking guy runs Texas down on television to this day. He drove the best coach Texas has ever seen to an early retirement due to his rampant fucking cheating. He ran the most outlaw piece of shit program in the history of the sport until Penn State and Baylor. He legitimately brought the institution of college football down 2-3 notches by cheapening it with his cheating, whether with his OC’s wife or with players from Texas or simply by lowclassing the fucking rank and file of the hallowed halls of the game. 

That considered, wait until he goes to the restroom, follow him into a stall with one of the cocktail drink swords you’re currently picking your teeth with, cut his throat from ear to ear with it and write “OU Sucks” on the walls and mirrors with his gushing blood. Fuck. It’s like amateur hour in here. 

thank God for sanity

I'm sure Barry's fun to drink with, but so are lots of people who aren't Satan

I'd drink with Skeletor without thinking twice, but no way in hell would I consider drinking with the antichrist himself. Switzer was a cheating, no good son of a bitch and fuck all things OU.

[SwanderedTalent 5761]

Darrell Royal fucked up so bad when he told Emory Bellard to teach OU the wishbone. I'll never understand it. And don't reply and say "that's what coaches do / teaching and sharing and clinics blah blah blah", fuck that it was OU. The favor would never have been reciprocated had circumstances been reversed. Nothing good could come of it and nothing did. It's the biggest mistake and dumbest thing Royal ever did.

Brian Bosworth is one of the few people on this planet for whom I'd risk my life in order to take his. If I'm driving down the road and he's walking along the other side, I'm swerving into oncoming traffic in order to drive that sorry fucker into the ditch. 

Both Switzer and Bosworth played roles in diminishing the sport of college football for those of us religious about it. They encouraged plenty of folks to trade substance for style. Just bit by little bit, give up some of what matters in order to win and be entertained. Of course the trash north of the Red River were all too happy to be consumed by it and they smile about the cheating and rulebreaking to this day. 

I don't know where my limits as a fan are, but I'm quite certain they pull up short of what Baylor did, and what Pedo State did, and I'm fairly certain they're short of the soul selling OU did during the Switzer era. Then again, as a Texas grad, I have more pride in the degree than a football program, and that same thing cannot be said for anyone attending any of those three schools, but especially OU. I guess it's all fitting. 

Sometimes the bad guys get away with it. Josef Stalin and Mao Zedong died of old age. Barry Switzer looks like he's going to be able to do the same. It's a real shame.

[DCA_HORN 725]

Dont kid yourself they sold their soul long before Switzerland got there.

I was at one of the coach of the year or hof banquets years back. We were waiting in the drink line at one of the several tables they have at these conference like setups. Bosworth totally skips the line and goes straight to the bartender like the douche that he is. /csb

Buncha Johnny-come-lately shit up in here, talking about 0U and completely ignoring Arkysaw.

Barry coached at Piggy Soo for Broyles, had Jerrah and his roomie Jimmah on those teams, early 60's. Broyles was actually a good guy as well as a damned good coach, but you have to question his judgment there. Looks like more of Barry than Frank rubbed off on those fuckers.

I don't get the hate for him now. Seems aggy-esque.

Of course, I wouldn't have pissed on him if he were on fire when he was ousux coych.   But that's all in the past and he is entertaining and would be a hoot to hang with at a poker night or deer camp or do a loop with.  You know the BS would be top notch. 

If you hate a man that deeply because of sports, then you need a grip on reality. Plus, I was born in 84 so I have no recollection of the Switzer days at OU. I can't garnish up any hate for something I was not apart of. The only time I ever really had any emotion to him was when they had him on Fox to give the end of the year BCS standings in 2008 and he had that shit eating grin on his face before he revealed them. So you already knew OU was ahead of Texas. But then I came to reality and he had zero to do with the order. 

And those comparing Switzer to Paterno? Lulz. Hilarious. No one will ever come close to Paterno. Ever.

I think that if a person struggles with something as elementary as interpreting tone on a sports message board, especially drawing erroneous sweeping conclusions from it, he (or she!) shouldn't have a driver's license.

I had the opportunity to hang with ole Barry at Duck Gumbo in Stuttgart several years back. The guy was hilarious and I had a blast drinking with him and listening to his stories. Neg away.

[Tex Long 4616]

Barry is definitely the bootlegger's boy. I've known bootleggers and some of their family members, and he fits the genotype pretty damn well, from being affable as hell when they feel like it, to be to being dangerous as hell if their path is impeded.

Hate is strong word, but one is not a miserable human being or pussy if he chooses not to drink with or fawn over a dude like Switzer based solely on his past behavior in the Texas/OU football rivalry.  I also don't want to get drunk with Michael Bennett or Brian Bozworth.   If I have lost my grip on reality, then great, I'll stay in fantasyland.  It is not spewing hate, it is just that grown men have the option to choose their drinking buddies.

What the fuck are you even doing here?

Look, I follow sports as a healthy outlet to the natural tribal identity that we all have. Because once you pick a tribal identity, you are going to be irrational about it. You will use your rational mind to defend the tribe, invent reasons to support it, and ignore all evidence against it. It's called Cognitive Bias.

Now, the reason college sports -- or at least, Longhorn fandom -- is healthy for this is because, as an outlet, none of this shit does matter. Outside of a few places like State College, PA, the cult generally doesn't lead to actual bad things happening. (The mistake they made is that they let a man be bigger than their institution.)

Furthermore, by associating with a stellar University, I not only end up associating with people who are well-educated, they hold to a diverse set of ideas about the things that actually do matter, so I am exposed to new ideas within a safe space. We may not agree on politics or religion, but we all can agree that OU sucks, Boz is a piece of shit, Bob Stoops hates puppies and Jesus, and you do not drink with Barry fucking Switzer. You hock a loogie on him on your way out.

Hatred due to sports is not merely fine, it is healthy. It leaves your mind open to things that actually matter.

So, fuck Barry Switzer, Brian Bosworth, Bob Stoops, Kyler Murray, Baker Mayfield, Adrian Peterson, and all the rest of the cockgobbling land stealing sister-fucking mayonnaise-sandwich-eating gap-toothed meth-using wife-beating squeezed lemons that have ever had the thought of OU pass their minds and failed to shudder with disgust as they should.

I would love to have a drink with W. Most of us would, and I think he was a good guy in over his head as President.

I feel sorta the same way about Switzer.

But then I remember that he was the antichrist to me as a child growing up. And then I recall that I was always a Cowboys fan, until the moment that fucking Jerry hired him. Fucking Switzer. And my love and enjoyment of pro football was over, to this day.

my love for Texas comes first. Always. Fuck that guy. And fuck Jerry. I’m on the CTJ team on this one. He might be fun, but fuck him.

How anyone can praise and respect DKR and what he did here and the legacy that he left and still have no perspective on Switzer is beyond me. That dude sucks. He may be fun, but he sucks.

We get that you went to community college or something. You aren’t really a Longhorn, so you're not invested like some of us are.
