Yeah, the non backing Fred got in 77 was uncomfortable, from a former student/fan perspective. I recall there were some bad vibes, shouldn't be that way.
1977 was maybe the most important season of my lifetime because our best coach in our history had a ton of talent but couldn't beat ou, left on a 5-5-1 season. He left Fred a great foundation, the right guy at the right time. Plus, he played Switzer heads up . After being dominated by ou , that 77 game felt like getting out of jail.
