CURIOUS INDEX, 6/18/08

OS, can you include a picture of Switzer in every Curious Index?

It really helps me start my day off right.

1-6-4 this year due to their, um, “strengths at linebacker.”

:-)

Somebody needs to tell Sen’Derrick that you’re not allowed to be good unless you have 4 or more recruiting stars…

Barry Switzer wrote a book about himself, Bootlegger’s Boy. I bet that was exciting reading.

@OkieDomer,

By start your day off right, you mean, pour yourself a bourbon and draw a firearm, right?

I wondered if sweet Barry included any of the following in that autobiography:

• sent boosters dressed as painters to Memorial Stadium to spy on Texas’s closed practices

• had to resigned after the NCAA placed OU on probation for 3 years, plus MULTIPLE player arrests during his tenure there

• was arrested for attempting to carry a loaded hand gun onto an airplane

That’s Senator Derrick Marks to you Phil.

Not to be too much on the Clay Travis bandwagon but does the apostrophe indicate that Derrick actually belongs to Sen? Just asking.
Oh and Phil, I think Demeco Ryans already told him that.

Okies read books? Those cotton-pickers from Oky-homie need a dictiionary to read the Sunday funnies.

I just said sweet Barry wrote the book. I didn’t say anyone in OK could actually read, including Barry himself. I’m sure there was a ghostwriter.

with Saban’s counting skills in the scholarship arena, it’s odd that they won’t try to run the 4-5-4 this season and wonder why they can’t get away with it…

You failed to mention that the “1” in a 1-6-4 defense is Terrance Cody, the 6’5" 400lbs nose tackle.

Our strategy is that the running backs will get so tired running laterally trying to get around the man that they will collapse of exhaustion before ever crossing the line of scrimmage.

1. - correct

1. - i don’t think the first one is true – the other two obviously are

1. & 10 – you’re both correct – i don’t actually read this blog, but rather, i just come here for the pictures – my secretary (not an okie) has to read me the blog and comments, then i dictate my comments for her to type

lastly, i’d like to take this moment to remind blon57 that the field at texass is named after a Sooner, and that the vast majority of texas’s success came when they hired a Sooner

Actually, sending painters to spy on UT is a stroke of genius. If your not painting, your not trying.

side note: I actually like Obama, but his supporters are the biggest crackpots alive. Sure, attack McCain’s policies, but to attack him personally with his war record and to claim he is nothing more than “W Part II” after his prez campain 8 years ago is frickin beyond reason. And to lil’ Jay, to actually question anybody as a “son of privilege” is the result from bad sperm caused from too much hair dye.

Don’t trust anyone under 30.

Read sweet Barry’s book…oh, that’s right, you can’t read. Here’s the excerpt for your “secretary”. At first Switzer denied the spying, but in his autobiography he wrote-
That contradicts his recollection of events in his autobiography, Bootlegger’s Boy, published in 1990. Switzer wrote, “It did happen. As it turned out, although I didn’t know it at first, Darrell was right to accuse us of that. It was my fault because I was the head coach, it happened…”

And as for Mr. Royal, he knows the errors of his ways and got here as fast he could. Ask him.

And do you expect us to believe your degree from OU allows you to work in a place that would give you a secretary? Come on.

And by the way, how is business at the Tiger Mart?

Ladies and gentlemen, I give to you the greatest, most mind-bogglingly arbitrary top 25 EVAR!

Bo was an assistant for Hayes, Dooley played at Auburn, Dye was an assistant for Bryant. According to book “Natural Enemies” by John Kryk, Lloyd Carr could have been the head coach at Notre Dame. But the best one is that Dana X. Bible coached at both A&M and Texas. So you see Okiedomer what Royal did is not unique.

well then i stand corrected regarding the painters

i’m glad it’s true, b/c it’s so freaking awesome

and i really don’t need a lecture from some sorority girl trophy wife who moved from daddy’s money to someone else’s

btw, i got accepted into ut law, but turned it down b/c i have a little thing called self-respect – go irish!

Remember when Royal acted like a man while taking his savage beatings from Switzer? Me neither.

Sorry to disappoint you, Okiedomer, but I moved from mommy’s money to my own, thank you. You see, a degree from one of the top state universities in the U.S. will do great things for your bottom line.

A lawyer? Criminal defense? At least you could defend OU players when they’re arrested. Your alma mater thanks you.

By the way, our current president couldn’t get into UT law. The dean at the time told him to go get his MBA. True story.

I don’t doubt that W couldn’t get into ut law – daddy’s an aggie and a yalie, so he’s got no whorn pull

don’t do criminal defense – do a lot of oil and gas, which means i do get an occasional trip to your beautiful panhandle region

you seem like a good sport blon – maybe one day our paths will cross in dallas and we can yell at each other and you can throw a drink in my face – in the meantime, you should check out my comment to the edsbs entry from yesterday, wherein i compare texas to a bordeaux, an apt comparison if there ever was one

jakldawg,

My pancreas hurts after reading that…

okiedomer @ 18

But you’d initially applied to UT Law out of low self esteem? Nice.

Did I just poke fun at two programs in one sentence? Nice.

#23

nope – i applied to both texas and michigan just to be accepted and then turn them down – such is the nature of my fandom – of course, i wouldn’t have done that if it was my money being spent on those application fees, but hell, dad hates texas and michigan too, so i doubt he minded

#21

Pretentious? I should think not. Read post 13. Sums it up beautifully.

And the panhandle isn’t our fault. Really, it isn’t.

jakldawg … holy shit. Two teams in the top five that don’t belong in the top 25 (Michigan and Notre Dame), a team that gave up 5.5 more points per game than any BCS team not named Minnesota or Duke in the top 15 (Nebraska), and speaking of Minnesota – a team that went 1-11 (and that win in OT against a MAC team) and came within a single yard of Worst Defense Ever, and naturally they’re in the top 20.

There is one word to describe that poll, and it begins with a “b” and ends with “atshit”.
