WHEN THE GOING GETS TOUGH, SWITZER SAYS GO HOME: When things look bleak on the football field, Barry Switzer has this suggestion - give up:

The AUSTIN (TX) AMERICAN-STATESMAN found this quote from the former Cowboys and Sooners coach, as the North Texas Mean Green kept passing during a 79-10 rout at the hands of Oklahoma:

“They had no game plan for losing….Because when you can’t win a game, you need to run the clock, don’t let it stop, don’t throw incomplete passes…get the game over with, get on the bus and go home.”

Maybe Barry was upset that watching the longer game meant a later bedtime for him, meaning he wouldn’t be as fresh and vibrant for his FOX NFL job the following day.

So, keep this in mind, future Sooner opponents: When the going gets tough…go home.

However, ’80s pop star Billy Ocean strongly disagrees.
