I had no idea this video existed! What a great rivalry Okla and Nebr used to have. Bob D was quite a character in his own right but not quite as well know as Switzer!
Mr Switzer squashed my dreams so many times as a child in the mid to late 80s. I miss the NU vs OU games. The one in 1980 is my first memory of NU/OU rivalry; I only remember Jarvis Redwine taunting an OU defender. Unfortunately Jarvis got his later on in the game.... Hopefully we can find the right coach at Nebraska; like OU has with Stoops. Love your videos.....
Man, this is great. What mutual respect. Kids these days would be completely surprised to know that any two coaches used to be able to pull stunts like this and both sides would get a good laugh.
Barry Switzer was a character. They just don't have many like him anymore in college football. How many coaches have the balls to do something like that! I had wanted to see this moment since I read about it in Switzer's autobiography.
that is great

I wonder how many times Devaney and Switzer got shitfaced together? They really seem like ol' drinkin buddies.

Those were the days of mutual respect between OU and Nebraska. As an OU fan, I'll always admire Bob Devaney and Tom Osborne.

1980 was a great game. OU had a 3rd and 11 and threw a pass into the wind that put the ball on 3.

It's so much easier to like somebody when you don't have to play them anymore. Switzer and Devany were two of the best.
