A Players' Salute to Coach Barry Switzer

A PLAYERS' SALUTE TO COACH BARRY SWITZER WEEKEND August 12-13, 2005

2005 marked the 30th anniversary of Coach Barry Switzer's 1974-75 back-to-back National Championships and the 20th anniversary of the 1985 National Championship.

To celebrate this occasion, the University of Oklahoma Houston Alumni Association (OU Club of Houston) and the former players of Coach Barry Switzer organized a two-day event in August 2005, which reunited 125 of Coach Switzer's all-star players and coaches.

Relive this special tribute to Coach Barry Switzer, which brought together players and All-American legends from the 60s, 70s, and 80s. Including Brian Bosworth, George Cumby, Eddie Hinton, Daryl Hunt, Jack Mildren, John Raley, Lee Roy Selmon, Billy Sims, Spencer Tillman, Joe Washington, J.C. Watts and "Dr. Death" Steve Williams.

Many Stories were told, much laughter heard, hugs exchanged, and by the end of the weekend, a few tears of joy shed. This special gathering of so many Sooner players and coaches has never happened before...and may never happen again.
