Product Description
The story of University of Oklahoma football is, in many ways, a tale of four exceptional coaches: Bennie Owen; Bud Wilkinson; Barry Switzer; and Bob Stoops. Though their tenures spread across more than a century of football, these four men are permanently joined by their collective success. This quartet posted an incredible won-loss record of 520-134. Each succeeding coach in this impressive legacy toiled to live up to the legend established by Owen. As a reward for their efforts, the three later coaches all reached the pinnacle of college football and captured at least one national title. As a result, the football tradition in Norman is rich indeed.

"Then Bud Said to Barry, Who Told Bob..." unearths many treasures from this tradition, stirring and colorful stories about the players and games that cemented Sooners football greatness. Learn the inside story about the school's four Heisman Trophy winners--Vessel, Owens, Simms, and White--along with other unforgettable players who will forever be linked with Oklahoma football: Tommy McDonald; Bob Kalsu; the Selmon brothers; J.C. Watts; Keith Jackson; and the "Boz." Relive the Sooners' many glory years, including seven national championships since 1950, numerous bowl appearances and conference championships, victories over archrival Texas, and the longest winning streak in major-college history--47 games. Also, visit the years that most OU fans would soon forget--disappointing seasons, but testaments to the resilient nature of Sooners football.

Oklahoma fans could make a strong case that theirs is the greatest college football program since WWII--it is definitely the winningest. It is also one of the most vibrant programs, boasting a history packed with memorable characters and games. "Then Bud Said to Barry, Who Told Bob..." is the perfect way to reconnect with this past. Dozens of entertaining tales, many direct from the mouths of the players and coaches who lived them, will delight any fan of Sooners football. This book is the next best thing to an autumn Saturday afternoon at Memorial Stadium.

5 out of 5 stars I love Barry!   November 4, 2008
I actually had the opportunity to meet Barry and his stories are fantastic. This book captures those OU facts and stories. If you love Oklahoma, you will love this book. I also picked up a copy of UNIVERSITY OF OKLAHOMA FOOTBALL: An Interactive Guide to the World of Sports (Sports By the Numbers) Both books will make any Sooner happy!
