"How does it feel? You're joining the defending champs."
Thomas Sorber: "It feels amazing, honestly. I just can't wait to get down there and see those guys."
"You ready for that crowd?"
TS: "Oh my gosh, I'm just ready to get the crowd hyped. Ready to give them all I've got."
It's Red River Rivalry Week, and no better time to share a legendary @Barry_Switzer story from a Baker Mayfield piece I wrote a handful of years ago.
When Baker was a senior at @OU_Football, he and his parents were looking for an off-campus home to rent for Baker. One of the homes was owned by Switzer.
When the family met Switzer to talk about the house, Switzer told Mayfield he tried to call him on the night of his arrest in Fayetteville, Ark. for public intoxication, but Mayfield never called back.
"I wanted to tell him to keep his head up; everyone has obstacles to overcome," Switzer said.
And then in true Bootlegger's Boy fashion, Switzer added: "I really wanted to tell him that they threw my ass in that jail in 1959. I wanted to know if they'd upgraded that shithole."
