A couple of points yet to be posted. Looney, who I thought played at Olney, went to Texas on a track scholarship, pledged Kappa Sig and then transferred to OU. Guy was big, fast, and a really great punter. Great waste of talent. Serious problems between the ears limited his greatness.
Bosworth was a worthless piece of ****. Look at the people that went through Norman under Barry. How many were ever licked off the team? Only one - Brian Bosworth. Not even Barry and/or Scott Hill could control him. They begged him to drive the Corvette around Norman and keep the Jaguar garaged, but his ego was too big.
Best thing about Bosworth was when Barry changed the OU defense to "feature" Bosworth. It was designed to showcase Bosworth on national TV against the convicts and help him win the Hype$man trophy off one game. A few of us actually had a football pool on the game, not for score but you got to pick at what point during the game Barry abandoned that defense. As I recall, it was about 9 minutes left in the second quarter.
I give the guy a lot of credit for marketing himself and attracting all the hype. Perhaps the second coming of PT Barnum. As a player, he was no where near the class of Rod Choate, Jimbo Elrod, Jerry Tubbs, or Carl McAdams. His mocking of opposing players who sufferred career ending injuries during games was beyond classless and showed his true arrogance. He did a good job of marketing himself and concealing his lack of ability to deliver. How he missed the steroid train to Lincoln is beyond me.
