Eyes of Texas, you need to re-phrase your opinion. Not every Oklahoman
adores switzer. There are ALOT of us Oklahomans who recognize scheister
for the lying, cheating, drunk that he really is. You need to say it is
the "sooners" and not Oklahomans who revere this idiot. That is
insulting to all Oklahomans, plenty of which agree with every word you
said. Believe it or not, but there are an awful lot of people such as
myself who was born in Oklahoma and lived here my whole life and are
not swooner fans. Not every Oklahoman roots for zero u, just as every
Texan is not a Horns' fan. Personally I think scheister even EXCEEDS
Sherrill as the biggest cheater of all time in the NCAA. What is so
amazing about scheister is that he began coaching in an era when there
basically were no rules and yet he still cheated his ass off. Think how
much trouble he could have gotten into if he could have only given out
25 scholarships a year and not the 70-75 he gave out per year in the
early seventies. He would have actually had to judge a make decisions
on talent, something he has shown over the years he is completely
incapable of doing.

Crimony, Walkup, do you have any pride? Why

Aside from a couple of coke dealers, a few rapes,
and a couple of shootings, UT and OU are identical,

(1) Switzer had one Hell of a better record than Sherrill ever
had. (2) Switzer's supposed cheating was mostly hype. The actual
NCAA allegations are not nearly as severe on his record as most
believe. (3) Switzer has kept close ties to the U. Sherrill
abandoned A&M.

Well, it works for Texas too. Remmeber that pesky NCAA probation
Texas landed on in the 1980s? And let's not even discuss the
other Texas schools.

Uh-oh, I think I have been hooked. Why didn't I see it coming?

Only the smart ones.

As long as you don't need corraborating evidence, this is easy to think.

>amazing about scheister is that he began coaching in an era when there

The basic rules about recruiting haven't changed much. For sixteen
seasons Switzer coached OU football, and not a single player (that I
am aware of) has ever claimed that he was paid to go to OU. In fact,
the NCAA didn't find otherwise either.

>much trouble he could have gotten into if he could have only given out

70-75? That would make his rosters roughly 400 players. Not even
nebraska had that big of rosters, although they probably came close. :)

>early seventies. He would have actually had to judge a make decisions
>on talent, something he has shown over the years he is completely

Say what you want, but Switzer was a damn good judge of talent. Hell, not
even Texas fans usually claim otherwise.

Finally, he gets his recognition. "scheister"...I haven't seen clever
re-spellings like that since one Derek J. Castleman posted in here. I'm
still stinging from that "Gayri" remark.

OH DEER LORD! I think he's forgetting the probation handed out to OSU in
'89, which was worse than OU's.

Good to see Switzer still pisses off Texas and OSU fans, though.

Actually, I'd say that most Oklahomans don't know what a "Sooner" is, except
a kick ass football player. We take pride in our ignorance.

The difference here is that fat pat jones got OSU on probation once and
he is a hated man by OSU fans and you will not see any buildings named
after him at OSU. switzer was part of THREE probations at zero u, one
as an asst. and TWO as head coach. Fat pat one, switzer three. And you
people still adore this creep which was what the original post of this

Listen, jerk. You can call Barry, the God of All That Is Holy, a cheater, a
scheister, an asshole, etc., but when you start throwing the "creep" word
around, that's where we draw the line.

I like this - the best guy the pokes have to hold up against Switzer
is Pat Jones, the guy who went 0-10-1 one year and hardly won any
Big 8 games in his final 4 or 5 seasons. He couldn't beat OU with
Thurman Thomas and Barry Sanders on his team, or anyone else on his
team for that matter over his 10-11 years. For all his cheating,
he sure didn't have much to show for it.

Geez, I guess entries into the OSU coaching hall of fame is kind

What does Jimmy Johnson have to do with the current discussion? We were

sherrill....guess you could throw in Danny Ford or Dennis Erickson if
you like but I don't see what JJ has to do with this topic.

You know, I read this and said to myself, "Gee, he may have a point."
Then I thought about it and have decide, "Well actually no he doesn't."

Let's see, comparing Pat Jones and Barry Switzer with David Walters. Hmm
2 college coaches that broke NCAA rules with a guy who broke the LAW. First off
it is not against the law to cheat in the NCAA. It is against NCAA rules, and
the probations given were done so according to those rules. Neither coach has
a criminal record because of their activities in college football because they
did not BREAK THE LAW while coaching. They cheated in the NCAA! Now, let us
consider the Culture of Violence (tm) (hey to whoever coined it) and how every
year SOMEONE gets into trouble with the law and still remains eligible to play.
Hey to Lawrence Phillips. Consider also that OU suspended a player after
discovering that he was in trouble with the law this year. So when comparing
college coaches doing shameful deeds according to NCAA rules, be careful to
call them what they are: CHEATERS not criminals...

Amazing how some can thrash all over Barry for cheating, and at the same
time think JJ never cheated.

Actually, it's not that amazing. Every person with the last name
Mcmanus that I've met has been a complete and utter dumbass.

So you write in your own damn post that the violations were not under
JJ. JJ hired Willie Anderson but Willie did not commit the violations
until after JJ left. How is this JJ's fault. Yes Wilie cheated before
he came to OSU and while he was at OSU but not while JJ was at OSU. You
hold someone responsible for the actions of a former employee? How
utterly absurd! You might as well blame the probation on the A.D and
the board of regents because they all approved the hire. Hell JJ hired
fat pat too. This is like blaming Chuck Fairbanks for ou's last
probation because he hired switzer.

Um, he's a McManus. I wouldn't be so optimistic, John.

Wrong. The NCAA couldn't investigate Willie's violations, but they were
definitely there if you followed the news wires. Do you really think
Willie was an angel until JJ left, especially since he had been in
trouble with the NCAA before? Are you that naive.

>he came to OSU and while he was at OSU but not while JJ was at OSU. You

Yes, he is that naive.

>hold someone responsible for the actions of a former employee? How

Yes, they are to blame as well.

>fat pat too. This is like blaming Chuck Fairbanks for ou's last

Sure, but I do not hold that against him.

>probation because he hired switzer.

Except (1) Switzer did not have a prior NCAA recruiting violation
on his record, (2) Switzer was not hired with the express purpose
of recruiting, and (3) Switzer did not get the university promptly on
probation like Willie did.

Besides, Chuck Fairbanks did not hire Switzer.
